Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz To Andy Ruiz: You Said You're Not Ready To Fight Me, But You're Ready For Joshua?

King King doesn’t bring the money... like the other three do, nothing to see here keep it moving

Won’t see many top HWs pushing for an Ortiz fight. Too risky, not a ticket seller cuz casuals saw him lose 2x to Wilder. PBC will have to bribe him into an eliminator

I'm not really getting the Arreola vs Ruiz was close, angle. Just because Arreola was crying about the scores doesn't mean they were wrong. He won 3 rounds tops, which is 116-111 with the knockdown, I think I gave him two rounds, 117-110. It was competitive to an extent, but not close. The knockdown makes it seem there was more drama than there actually was.

He was offered $5 million for Joshua if I remember correctly. It might have been $6 million.

He took home $7 million for the Wilder rematch according to Forbes and ESPN.

Well if it's true, then I can't blame him. However, the only problem I have with that scenario is there is no way of proving it. No one knows what his purse split for the Wilder rematch was. Perhaps The Nevada State Athletic Commission have a record of it or something but we simply do not know.

Job well done! Very good research!

Ortiz vs Ruiz would be a fight I'd like to see. Ortiz seems to be doing a lot of talking, but like a lot of HWs at the moment, he is very inactive. Hasn't fought in 18 months.

Cool handle count of monte cristo...

I wanna see Ortiz vs Fury

tacos on me...

Fans dismissing Ortiz as over the hill... yet a bunch of top HWs are almost desperately avoiding him. He'd embarrass ruiz... and that's why we fans haven't seen Ortiz/ruiz in the ring together. There's a reason why ruiz is 2nd tier... and it's because he had no clue how to handle himself in the big spotlight. Ortiz would do well vs Whyte, Ruiz, Hunter, Parker, Dubois, Usyk. Here he is, family man, trying to feed and clothe his family... and can't get a decent fight. Not a good look for the sport.

if ruiz isnt up for it, then please, ortiz vs whyte. would be a ****er of a fight.

[BodyBagz]

If Ortiz had the titles and AJ didn't, Andy would be ''ready'' for him.

Everyone is ready to fight a champ.

From what I saw, Hearn's initial offer was $6 million and ultimately raised to $7 million (Sports Joe website). Forbes listed Ortiz purse against Wilder as $1.5 million but it was also listed $7 million guaranteed (Bad Left Hook).

So they were essentially even offers as far as money was concerned but we don't know what else was offered to sweeten the pot. Regardless, Ortiz made his decision. What I don't understand is why he hasn't had a relevant fight since Wilder sparked him a 2nd time.
