Another thing to consider...if Bivol fights Benny first he would stay undisputed but could get hit by another mando before getting Beter3 and vacate anyway. Doing Beter first then unifying with Benny will give him priority over mandos....

[Elheath]

I think it is a mixture of that he's confident in beating both either way, but will get better money by going Beter 3 first before Benny even if he ends up vacating one belt.

If he fights Benny next, he will likely win but could lose out on Beter 3 money given that there is a chance Beter...

I mean tougher compared between Beterbiev and Benavidez. If tougher is the wrong term, I'll reword it...which do you think Bivol will have an easier time defeating? Beterbiev 3 or Benavidez? I think Bivol will have an easier time beating Benny....

He dropped it to fight a tougher opponent first. I mean, Usyk dropped a belt to fight Fury 2 instead of Dubois, but was that a duck as well?

Although I'm not a betting person but if the question was which was more likely, the winner (assuming Bivol for this case) refusing to re-unify with...

The bigger question is whether Benavidez has the guts to fight the winner of the trilogy, because once PBC gets that belt I can see them rotating it around within and never unifying just like that WBA 140 belt...

I realistically think Shakur is going to be hit with a huuuge reality check if/when this goes to purse bid.
Eddie knows exactly what Turki offered and he's not going to be willing to pay more than that because he'd rather have Turki fund it anyway. Oscar isn't going to go over it either because...

He hasn't fought since last December and with most of notable 154 having fought recently it only left Murta, but he probably would want an easy fight first time back from injury. Crawford is never fighting in 154 again so not counted.

Atleast Bohachuk probably won't get hurt much so he's...

I'm gonna absolutely LAUGH if they go to purse bid only for Shakur to end up with the same, or god forbid a purse LESS than what Turki offered to him...which isn't impossible, knowing Shakur's (lack of) popularity and that the funding for any major Matchroom card is basically from Turki nowadays....

[Elheath]

So Turki wants to lower the price for Shakur vs Zepeda now...okay, I guess that is unfortunate for Shakur. That being said does DLH even WANT to let Zepeda fight Shakur after how he did against Farmer x2 to be honest?

After the Haney failure and what followed for Shakur I won't be surprised...
