Why reward Zurdo's fear with a huge payday just to see him lose? Giving these guys who sell their zero, or titles, tons of money was perfected by Mayweather, then Canelo and is one of these reasons no one fights anyone. They are holding out for Saudi money but don't really bring anything else to the table.
When are people going to start blaming opetaia? Just because he can't get zurdo does not justify fighting cab drivers over and over. There are much better fighters he can fight. His whole resume is cans apart from Breidis.
I can tell you that practically every single boxer's representative within the IBF ratings was contacted. A couple are unavailable due to having fights scheduled. Jai is keeping active rather than sitting and waiting on the shelf. A unification fight might be a little closer than what people are thinking too. Watch this space.
What excuse? It's a fact... I should know. I contacted them. It's far better option than sitting on a shelf waiting for a unification fight. Opetaia will likely again sell out the venue and further gain exposure in Australia where he made big inroads during his last fight. More than likely scores himself another highlight reel KO.
It’s not exactly Jai’s fault that everyone is scared shitless of him, is it? It’s not like he hasn’t called out Zurdo on any number of occasions.
