I think Golden Boy isn't seeing what they want from Ortiz and that's why he's in this fight.
Exactly, GBP is serving up Ortiz to Berto. I wouldn't be surprised if this is a down payment on another title shot later from someone else in the stable or possibly a signing. Anyone know when Bertos contract is up? He can't get big defining fights, GBP has got a lot of stroke. Sounds like a match. Win/Win for oscar & co.
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
