Jai Opetaia is the worst managed boxer in our era.

If Opetaia was well managed, he could have been undisputed already and getting into the heavyweight picture, where the money is much bigger. I do think things are looking up, though, and I can't wait to see the Benavidez vs Opetaia fight.

 

Thing is nobody has figured out how to make money with him and that includes the bank of Zuffa

I can't understand why there hasn't been promo videos of him just put together of him smashing people up
That stuff works wonders

He has the charisma of a bean so he isn't going to attract fans by talking so show those clips of him looking like a beast

 

The other beltholders simply refused to fight Opetaia. Everybody with even the slightest interest in boxing knows that.

 

Not good enough for heavyweight.

 

The bank of Zuffa - Turki - is about to invest very, very heavily in Opetaia-Benavidez for 2027. But before that happens, we will likely see Benavidez-Cieslak for the WBC title in December.

 

Probably right

They won't see a return though, not on Jai anyway

 

Jai has paid his dues and is a real throwback fighter, I don't agree with him going to Zuffa but he tried to get the big fights for years and everyone moved sideways from him. I hope he gets an absolute boatload of cash to fight Benavidez because that has FOTY written all over it and gives us a definitive answer as to who the best cruiserweight in the world is.
