When heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings declined an offer to face Luis “King Kong” Ortiz on Oct. 17 on the undercard of the much-anticipated Gennady Golovkin-David Lemieux middleweight unification fight, Eric Gomez, Golden Boy’s vice president, told ESPN.com that he had a backup plan for Ortiz's fight. Gomez, however, did not discuss the backup plan for the HBO PPV bout at Madison Square Garden in New York. But according to sources with knowledge of the offer, Golden Boy is trying to secure former world titleholder Bermane Stiverne (24-2-1, 21 KOs) as the opponent for Ortiz (22-0, 19 KOs), which is an even more attractive match than one against Jennings. Stiverne’s last fight was in January, when he lost a decision and his world title to Deontay Wilder.

Think thats the last we'll see of Jennings as a contender now, shame i thought he did alright against Wlad

 

How much was the offer for?

 

i think he said because of steroids

 

Doesn't say, can imagine it was a decent amount as its PPV..

 

Now Ortiz vs Stiverne may fall apart too !
