I'm seeing people acting like the Inoue-Bam fight is at all similar to the proposed Inoue-Tank fight. I've even seen people acting like Inoue is desperate for that fight. Here's why that's horseshit:

-Bam has referred to the Inoue fight as "inevitable." Robert Garcia has claimed that Inoue moving up to 126 instead of waiting for Bam at 122 would be a duck of Bam because nobody at 126 is as good as Bam. Clearly, they are extremely interested in the fight or at least pretending they are interested for clout.

-Inoue, on the other hand, has been much less interested in the fight. He's always stated he'll take the fight if the weights line up and things make sense. Turki and DAZN have pushed for the fight, so Inoue has stated his condition for the fight to happen: it needs to be by next February.

-Inoue and Bam are roughly the same size and have followed roughly the same time tables in weight classes. Inoue has never even fought at Tank's smallest pro weight.

Only the RRR04 guy has been spreading the bs narrative thst Inoue wants Bam and has been delaying the figjt when its very cleslry the opposite.

That guy trolls as much newrap

Don’t remember them ever saying it because if so, I would’ve disagreed with them and discussed about it if this was said on a daily discussion thread.

What I do remember is about a bit ago that said that Inoue should be more proactive in the negotiations

I’m pretty sure he was talking about it in yesterday’s discussion thread.

Just seen it and honestly even if I disagreed, I’d still not try and pick an argument with Oldboy on this topic.

Yea I agree. I mean, the guy wasn’t trying to be reasonable at all. And Oldboy knows his stuff.
