Never seen this Wood guy fight. Is he a worthy opponent?

He has a shot, some good power and technique. If Leo isn't in top form Wood wins

I've never expected to see this fight happen and I think we all know it won't.

Haymon was always going to push it to purse bid. That way the fight doesn't happen. Wood isn't going to take only 25% and get paid much less than his last fights.

The only way it does happen is if Hearn agrees to pay the rest "under the counter" to make sure Wood isn't f3cked over. However, under those conditions, Haymon is likely to get the fight on PBC. Hearn won't be interested if he has to give Leo beyond his biggest payday. It doesn't make business sense.

Pointing out some facts about why this fight won't happen is crying?

I guess you're crying whenever you make any comment about something on here then.

Making comments but refusing to justify them is beyond crying though. It's creepy. Especially for an adult.

As you were.

The fight would always go to purse bid. You know that.

Yeah, to make sure the fight doesn't happen. Eddie would have no problem matching Leo's biggest payday for the fight. You can't turn your nose up at that. But Leo isn't going to take it.

They're all whores over at PBC. Haymon is their slave master. They stay because they like the protection. No real fighter would ever want that for themselves.
