in general i agree with you but still both won their fights clearly. ortiz 12-0 rounds, joshua probably 9-3.
There is no contradiction. Wilder said give him a few more days and he'll sign anyway. Then POOF, the WBA says Joshua has "24 hours to negotiate with his mandatory Povetkin" since him and wilder couldnt come to am agreement. We know this was bull$#!% because A) unfications trump mandatories B) Joshua and Povetkin took more than 2 weeks past the deadline to officially announce the fight Youre acting as though team wilder forced joshuas hand or encouraged him to fight povetkin when both claims are nonsense. They were under the assumption that joshua vs wilder was NEXT.
So pacquiao, golovkin and mcgreggor were dumbasses for not agreeing to a flat rate? Yes or no will suffice. And you are obviously sleeping under a rock if you didnt know this fight could generate 100 million or more. Again, can one of you witless idiots explain why hed sign to fight a guy who has a dangerous opponent in povetkin? A contract that allegedly says mandatory rematch for joshia but not for wilder? A flat rate that would be tiny compared to the overall revenue if it does indeed do 100 million (15 million is only 15%)...? When you say "durr, he should just sign the contract if he wants tbe fight lolz" u expose yourself. He was going to rematch wladmir klitschko, an old man he already beat. This is a FACT. It didnt happen becuse wladmir retired. Hearn promised ortiz was next. They paid him to step aside. Then they somehow ended up fighting takam and ortiz even threatened to sue. Wtf do amateur records or a failed fight with ustinov have to do with anything? Im speaking of the current heavyweight landscape, not ancient history. Ortiz became feared AFTER beating jennings and thompson. Before that all people knew was that he was a big guy who could hit hard and had some skill due to cuban schooling. We werent sure exactly how skilled he was. Joshua somehow didnt fight him after him and hearn promised ortiz a shot and paid him step aside as #1 challenger. Wladmir didnt. Whyte didnt even though the wbc ordered it and guarranteed the winner a title shot. This was AFTER ortiz lost and whyte still wasnt interested even though hes been whining all year that he deserves a shot. Parker stuck to the wbo rankings. Those are 4 of the 5 biggest names in the division aside from wilder. Wilder didnt need to fight him but chose to, sending a message to everyone. There is no "narrative", its a fact these guys didnt want smoke with ortiz. Jarrel miller even said "no way wilder fights ortiz" then as soon as wilder beat him, he changed his tune and said "ortiz was old"--just like you clowns are doing now! Do you REALLY want me to dig up the threads from earlier this year because this is all well documented...?
Never let the truth get in the road of a good story.. Responding to them gives them motivation to continue spewing their bull****..
