Keyshawn Davis and Richardson Hitchins have both priced themselves out for a fight on the January 31st undercard in New York. They had the opportunity to be a part of the Ring 6 card on DAZN at Madison Square Garden.
Bradley reveals the price tags
Tim Bradley says former WBO lightweight champion Keyshawn (13-0, 9 KOs) wanted $2 million. Hitchins, IBF 140-lb champion, was asking $2.5 million, which was too much for this type of fight.
Tim says that Hitchins (20-0, 8 KOs) will now get $700,000 to fight Jamaine Ortiz on the Jan. 31 undercard of Teofimo Lopez vs. Shakur Stevenson.
“You have Keyshawn Davis. He wants no less than $2 million to fight Hitchins. Then you have Hitchins, who wants no less than $2.5 million,” Tim Bradley said on his channel about Keyshawn Davis and Richardson Hitchins wanting big money to fight on the January 31st undercard at ‘Ring 6’ in New York.
2020 Olympic silver medalist Keyshawn was paid well by his top-ranked promoters despite not fighting any significant opposition. He was treated like an Olympic gold medalist, not the guy who lost to the gold medalist, Andy Cruz.
Jamaine Ortiz as the backup option
“The fights aren’t happening. The other option for both of these guys was Jamaine Ortiz,” Bradley said. “You know what Keyshawn Davis wants for that fight? He wants over $700,000 for that fight against Jamaine Ortiz. That’s another guy that can’t be a voter.”
If Hitchins loses to Jamaine, he might regret fighting him because this guy is good. We saw what he did to Teofimo last year. He made himself look bad.
“These guys didn’t fight. They need to get money. Guess who took the fight for less? Richardson Hitchins. So, he’s going to fight Jamaine Ortiz on the Shakur card,” Bradley said.
“We found out that ‘The Businessman’ (Keyshawn) is no longer with ‘Bomac’. He basically blames it on ‘Bomac’ and them, saying they weren’t there for him.”
