from the home of coca-cola, i'm not referring to s
These mofos have no shame
Hurt his hand in a round and half teeing off on Lubin :unimpressed:
Not a coincidence this comes out after DAZN forces their hand :francis:
They going stall Boots out, probably pause negotiations, until Boots has to just move forward with another fight
fights like this rarely happen if there's no belt on the line

Does anyone know how Keith Thurman leap frogged Ortiz to get the WBC title shot against Fundora?
There is a path to unifying 3 of the belts by late 2026, but in that path Ortiz still wouldn't get a title shot. If titles are the requirement for Ortiz vs Boots we need a lot to go right (ie: no rematches) and probably wouldn't get that fight until early 2027 :unimpressed:

PBC x WBC Pulling Strings + Oscar not wanting to risk his cash cow (Ryan and Ortiz have never been champs lol).

Realistically Virgil Fundora should have been the fight happening this yr/Jan (with the Fundora injury). They could have done an Errol comeback as Co-Main and set up winners if they really wanted that to happen.

This is why I`m like Boots just needs to focus on belts, because it will expose what Golden Boy is really doing and Virgil won't even be remembered.

Virgil vs Fundora
Spence vs Thurman
In Dallas would have been :banderas: from both a fight and marketing perspective
And PBC would hold most of the power especially if Spence somehow beat Thurman and set up Spence vs Virgil
