Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Lemieux: Jennings Rejects Offer For Ortiz Clash

[Eastcoast]

Kind of surprised K2's not pushing Mike Perez here, but I think Perez & Ortiz are friends and won't fight. Maybe Amir Mansour vs Ortiz?

Don't think they can give him the money he wants.I don't know the number, but I bet he wants a lot of money know that he fought Klit on HBO

Yeah your probably right, he did good and made a good check, but these are the guys he has to beat to become champ.. hopefully he will see that and take the damn offer..

So is this officially a duck by Jennings???

[Weltschmerz]

This just looks like a duck from Jennings.

Ortiz would do what the best hw in world couldn't he will be juicing again I guess

Don't be fooled by how competitive he was is the Wlad fight. Jennings is a very limited novice level fighter. He has an 83 inch reach but has no jab whatsoever, he doesn't know how to shorten up those long arms to fight on the inside resulting in him being completely featherfisted. Ortiz is a better boxer than Wlad and carries his own savage power. This fight is bad news for Jennings.

jennings is irrelevant in the heavyweight division

[The Surgeon]

Sounds like a duck but we don't know how bad the offer was or what Jennings' plans are. Ortiz would wreck him anyway, that dude can fight.

How can the average Jennings turn down a fight?

Jennings must be very rich to turn down a fight? No one in America knows who Jennings is and yet Jennings is playing like he is Floyd?? Go figure that out. Plain Dumb and ******.

Fought Klitschko and now thinks he is the big broski or whats crackin? Fool should've taken the fight, but he is insecure bout himself, afraid to lose to Ortiz. Guy could have gotten in the mix again and is pulling out the duck. Shake my head what a fool with all his talk.

LOL at people speculating without knowing what the offer was.

Jennings-Ortiz would be worth more on HBO as a headliner than as the C fight curtain-jerker on a "moderately-priced" PPV. Wise course of action would be to say, "Yes, we want the fight, give us a date and HBO prime main event money and we've got a deal."

They know this PPV isn't going to draw huge numbers and they're not pricing it high, how much do you think they were willing to throw at this fight to make it happen?
