Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz, Golden Boy Promotions Officially Part Ways

I wouldnt be surprised in the next few weeks to hear that Dade and Richard Shaeffer have made some kind of deal. Unless these Dade people are complete morons, there is no good reason to buy out GBs share, since Dade has no access to HBO / Showtime dates.

The only thing that makes sense is if Shaeffer is lurking behind the scenes. They would definitely have kept that on the DL because if Oscar knew Shaeffer was involved he would have raised the buyout price 100x over lol

Dade has no access to Showtime? Are you kidding? Showtime would sign Ortiz tomorrow to a exclusive deal.

Oscar was doing everything he could to promote this guy. Tried putting him on Khan/Canelo undercard. Which did $750K buys and over $17K live fans

Tired putting him in Jerryland where a HUGE Latin market could of seen him LIVE!!! Now he settling for Russia???

Canelo vs Khan did 240k. Oscar the drag failed.

Dade thinks they can do a better job then Golden Boy.

Yep. There is plenty of things to criticize GBP on, but their relationship with HBO was gold for Ortiz.

they didn't even show up to represent him on a BID lol...

LOL what were they gonna bid? $250 bucks? These guys probably got no money to put on a card by themselves so the Caribe 2.0 line is probably an appropriate label for them.

Ortiz is just gonna be getting put into purse bids from here til Dade makes some sort of move with a real promotion. If they do. What these Cuban guys are thinking I'll never f#cking know, but Cuban pros make the worst decisions in boxing on the regular.

I thought the same thing with Rigo and Caribe beefing with Top Rank. Assumed as soon as he was out his deal he was signing with Haymon. And guess what Haymon even refused to sign him because Caribe is in the picture with any promoter who wants to split a nickle with them. Haymon said these idiots are too much trouble then worth. If he was a free agent I think many promoters would jump at him. But he's not he's owned by Dade. Dan Rafael reporting GB were paid 7 figures by Dade to own his full rights.

You know they were paying him 50k? Miller told me they offered him 20k to fight Ortiz as HBO main event.

I wish Ortiz well and hope he succeeds but it really doesn't seem like its going to happen.

Who's paying who 50k & 20k? I thought Ortiz was making in the low 6 digits? 100k-300k range iirc for HBO fights.
