Comments Thread For: Andre Berto-Victor Ortiz Reportedly Lowballed By HBO

Well one, Lee-Duddy is not going to be the main even. Is an undercard fight.

And, two I don't think they're paying more than the 2.4mil that they put up to get the Martinez-Dzinziruk fight.

Dibella just add it that fight at the undercard to sell tickets. Since both have a solid fanbase in the NY area and also is around St Patrick day weekend.

More than likely Berto-Ortiz will be a main event.

2 different situations.

I personallly don't care. Lee/Duddy I believe can be an exciting little scrap that would be PERFECT for ESPN! HBO is supposed to be about champions not guys who lost to Brian Vera and haven't beat anyone of substance since. And Duddy, well he's just Duddy. I'm not putting down fighters because I have too much respect for them to do that but HBO used to be the BEST of the BEST not ESPN level guys.

I liked Martyison/Greene has an undercard fight because you had two prospects who were undefeated putting it on the line to stay on the network. The fight wasn't the greatest but it meant something. This does not.

At dibella acting like this is worth Bradley-Alexander.

Berto is to slow on the feet to out Box Victor Ortiz

it's not logic jro, you need to understand people's perspective.

try and imagin you're talking to a teenage girl that loves Justin Beiber, everything revolves around Justin Bieber and everything else sucks except anything that justin bieber does.

That is exactly how it is.

Again I don't think HBO is paying anything extra than what they paid to host Martinez-Dzinziruk.

If I'm not mistaken they're showing an extra fight that is on the card that they're not paying extra money for.

Again 2 different situations.

Ward-Gatti?

Berto will be the next floyd except he doesnt have floyd skillz stopfighting small guys berto you r a punk

[King Ju-Ju]

hbo better get this fight done man. $1.5 million should be good and honestly it should be $750k a piece but berto is the champion, hes unbeaten, (more importantly) an al haymon fighter so i see him getting the $1m.

This is a great fight and I hope it goes though, I know a lot of people still doubt Ortiz but I see him stopping Berto and it's about time somebody does it.
