Boots should be hos Mando technically, so boots should be forcing that and then go to UK and take Josh kelly shyt and see where ball lands with WBC. If xayas loses he can blame out growing 154 and rebuild at a weak 160, he already checked off unifying 154 so it isnt a career ender.

Xayas can force boots to fight in PR or NY for PR indendence weekend

That's probably what will happen if this fight goes through. Xander holds all the cards

Yeah, not comparing literal fighters but this is Boots Devin/Kamboses moment. He needs to take the financial loss and do whatever it takes to make the Zayas fight happen as if he gets them belts the division is his especially if it is a standout performance in PR or NY.

Word, didn't Devin make less money than Kambossos in both fights? And having to travel to Australia twice on top of that :huhldup:

Boots gotta understand sacrifice. If you gotta travel to Puerto Rico to be a unified champion, so fukking what

Dev and his pops said it was a bad deal in that he had to go to Australia twice and had to fight Lomachenko and the pay wasn't a ton. Essentially TR was trying to get those belts to Lomachenko by any means. This is all while Devin was struggling to make 135. I think if Devin had the deal on his terms he would have fought George once and moved up.

I know dudes hate Bill Haney but I can't not respect how Devin bets on himself. his only mistake was fighting Ryan like an idiot.

Sorry but I'm gonna side with Oscar on this one. I know it's customary to always blame the promoter

Vergil's manager, that Rick dude and Vergil's father are to blame. They took a gamble that the public perception of "Oscar being a bad promoter" would help them win the case and with the fans, but it backfired. Oscar literally in Vergil's corner when he was battling health issues, and set him up with great fights to put on his resume and get him paid

If I was Vergil I would drop his dumbass manager. Unless he wants to end up like Mikey Garcia
