Luis Ortiz Is Guaranteed At Least $7 Million For Wilder's Rematch

Steven Espinosa disagrees with your assertion.Al hasn't forgotten about Stephen Espinoza. Al Haymon and the PBC are partners with Showtime. Espinoza understands that Haymon has contractual network obligations to two platforms; Fox and Showtime. In addition, he knows that Al owes Luis Ortiz for his loyalty for not signing with DAZN. So the PBC can't afford take discounts at this time just to put the fight on Showtime. Besides, Showtime is looking at the bigger picture. They would rather lose this bid for Wilder/Ortiz in favor of either Wilder/Fury or Wilder/Ruiz anyway. By this time next year, they would have more money in their budget and war chest anyhow.

It does inflate your value in the negotiating table when you inflate your past earnings. Yep. It did wonders to Donald Trump.

That's protocol. Of course the IRS will get their cut. They would get almost half of that purse. On paper, it's still a substantial number though. That's the thing about Al Haymon. He believes in the patronage system of rewarding your fiends and punishing your enemies. He blocked Luis "King King" Ortiz from fighting on DAZN to keep in on the PBC. Now King Kong is being rewarded for his loyalty. Steven Espinosa disagrees with your assertion.

Get their cut from which figure? The real one or the fake one? Like Ortiz actually only getting $1 mil, how would the IRS going to believe him if the IRS sees this publicised $7 mil figure? Can he legally claim it's just for future negotiation purposes? It does inflate your value in the negotiating table when you inflate your past earnings.

Is he bigger than Spence, Danny G, Porter, Thurman who made $1-2 million each when they fought each other? Spence was guaranteed $8 million for the Mikey fight and over $10 million for the Porter fight. Maybe the problem is that you have no idea what these guys actually make.

#1 - You dont know what the normal rate is. #2 - Ortiz may not be a huge star, but he is a star. He's been fighting on major US networks for over five years now. Is he bigger than Spence, Danny G, Porter, Thurman who made $1-2 million each when they fought each other?

Does this mean boxing has become so popular that networks are willing to pay fighters, not even double, but, man, 14 times the normal rate for a non-star like Ortiz? #1 - You dont know what the normal rate is. #2 - Ortiz may not be a huge star, but he is a star.

Wow, is this how lucrative this sport of business has become? You have to wonder why HBO got out of it, or Showtime slowing down. Or is it just fantasy games played by hacks who are willing to get paid trump change to lie? Does this mean boxing has become so popular that networks are willing to pay fighters, not even double, but, man, 14 times the normal rate for a non-star like Ortiz? Or it may be a deceptive card that they can play in the negotiating table in anticipation for another DAZN offer. So luctrative that HBO ended their reign and now we see signs of Showtime being the next one to close shop. Give me a break!

It's been RUMOURED. Go ask somebody at the PBC to confirm this as a fact and you will get silence. You may even get told about some confidentiality clause.

Hindsight is 20/20 but, it seems like Joshua was the more "winnable" fight. The 3 belts would look good around the Cuban's waist at the moment and would be good for his pockets going forward. This might be a case where "taking the short money" would have been the better choice.

Talk about deepthroating someone,... ���� You really have wilder so far down your throat huh?? Talking about he whooped and beat AJ to the punch...?? WTF!! Lol First time i see anyone bragging about something like that!Well you have been not been paying very close attention to Non Stop Boxing then because that's all boxing fans around these parts do in discrediting one anothers fanbase's platforms and promoters.

Had Ortiz taken the Joshua fight and been the one to KO Joshua, He would have already pocketed the $5 million (or better, assuming negotiations would have continued), and he would be making another $10-15 million for the rematch. So had Ortiz took the AJ fight, he would have made close to $20 million for 2019. But yeah, $7 million is MUCH better.........lol oops, I forgot that Haymon will pay him another $50 million on the side in secret money, so I guess the $7 million was indeed smarter.......smhWell, Ortiz wasn't going to take the Joshua fight anyway because he had been instructed by Al Haymon and the PBC not to. Therefore, Al sacrificed Andy Ruiz by leaving him unprotected, since he was at the bottom of the pecking order to begin with but it paid off big time. The PBC was not about to lose another one of its fighters to a rival platform like DAZN. Besides, Haymon has many time slots, dates and contractual television network obligations to fulfill on his own.

I don’t believe that for a second, where did he get that numbers from? Who are his sources for that number? For the same guy who was running with 300-350k for the Spence/Porter fight in terms of PPV I would question his sources, just because the numbers doesn’t really add up.

Who would actually believe this nonsense? He got $500K in the first fight and is now getting 14x more in the rematch? This Coppinger guy needs to be investigated for his lies. Yep. His lies are getting so blatant. Reminds me of that WBC WBA IBF poster who actually admitted getting paid for posting pro PBC agendas. It might be the same guy! Who knows?!

LMAO. Ortiz is about to get paid in Rupees not dollars because I don't know where FOX is going to get the money from. Even Canelo didn't get $7million as guaranteed money for all his PPV fights. Uncle Al takes care of all of the logistics. You just don't get do you? Deontay Wilder has reached the big time. He is now a crossover superstar. So that is the least of their worries and concerns. Right now if he fights over at Wembley or in Cardiff he sells both of those venues out.

You Wilder haters are so salty that it's actually pathetic!

LMAO. https://media2.giphy.com/media/d48uai6OhBgLoh7q/source.gif Did you just post that with a straight face? https://media1.tenor.com/images/f43b0d2c74cece1e17e209f0a6bcb26e/tenor.gif?itemid=11224312 Even Wilder won't get anything close to $7million. ANd there's a reason why it's on PPV.Me thinks Luis Ortiz like Wilder more than he likes Joshua and vice versa. That's what friends do. They fight each other so they each can earn a living in order to help support their families. "King Kong" and the "Bronze Bomber" are now like brothers. I bet you think this renewed kinsmanship among brothers is not good idea now do you? It makes you and your ilk very salty now doesn't it? Ortiz is about to make his career highest payday vs Deontay Wilder and not AJ. :lol1:
