Comments Thread For: Hearn: I'd Love To Make Luis Ortiz vs. Dillian Whyte For Dec. 22

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Ortiz has a definite slot for a PPV undercard on December 1st. He's not even the front runner to face Whyte on December 22nd, by Hearns own words, neither is Ortiz guaranteed a fight against Whyte. Yet there's a whole lot of people on here suggesting Ortiz should pull out his December 1st guarantee. How fhucking ridiculous is that premise. December 1st is less than 2 months away, if Hearn is not even negotiating Ortiz vs Whyte, then Ortiz needs to move on and secure an opponent for December 1st. My hope is it's Breazeale or Parker. If Hearn were already negotiating for Ortiz/Whyte on December 22nd, and it looked like a sure thing, then, and only then, should Ortiz pull out of the Wilder vs Fury undercard. As well as Hearn should consider having Whyte fight Ortiz on the undercard because that's business, that's negotiating. Out right dismissing something with out discussions or consideration is in reality revealing a reluctance to actually making the fight.

Why would a regular fan of the sport care if it were the main event or an undercard fight? Wouldn't they just want to see it. What value does a fight being the main event bring to the viewer? The fighters...it typically means more money, which is cool.

Why would any fan be upset or disappointed that Wilder Fury and Whyte Ortiz were on the same card?

Because Whyte/Ortiz would not happen as an undercard fight. So they should care, that fight would definitely get more noise as a main event. If you are Team Whyte you would not go from headlining a PPV to fighting on an undercard of a fighter who has never headline a PPV himself. So yeah for any reasonable fan who hopes this fight happens should pray they came to a deal to headline their own card, not be stuck fighting under some Chavez v TBA as a co-main event.

Ortiz is staying on that December 1 card in case of any Tyson Fury shenanigans (positive test, ******* relapse, real or fake injury, mental breakdown, etc).

We're mostly making fun of Ortiz fans who are losing their heads at the Dec 22 offer because the Dec 1 offer was made first.

It's pretty hilarious, actually lmaoo

Well, since you said "we're", how about some intelligent comments about it? You and whoever you are group posting with need to come up with a valid, honest reason why Dillian Whyte can't fight Ortiz on December 1st.

You seem to have the illusion or misconception that a PPV in the UK is equal to a PPV in the US.

Where did you get that illusion from? It surely can’t be from my post. I don’t know what is so difficult to understand, Ortiz/Whyte fighting in their own PPV as the headliners, not Ortiz fighting on another undercard or Whyte fighting Chisora. These two if possible should get that fight deal done (If possible).

Louis Ortiz is overrated and isn't going to step up to a challenge.

So you guys will excuse it when Shyte ducks Luis Ortiz. Good to know.

Why wouldn't you want to see a stacked card with Wilder-Fury and Ortiz-Shyte on the same PPV?

[Sid-Knee]

Shyte wants a title fight against Wilder, doesn't he?

What better way to set it up then by featuring them both on the same card?

It makes too much sense. But when one side is terrified of taking a loss you can't really force them into the ring.

Whyte wouldn't get a title fight against Wilder though. He'd only be the second mandatory which could take years to get. Wilder has already said he'd avoid Whyte for two years if he becomes mandatory. So stop talking absolute ****.

[Sid-Knee]

Ortiz has the date already. All Shyte has to do is step in.

What is he afraid of? I thought he said King Kong was just an old man?

Ortiz can change his date because he's fighting no one of any worth. Whyte is the one who has a main event on PPV waiting for December. So he most certainly isn't going to change for Ortiz.

Ortiz won't take it though. The hype job who's done nothing will fight yet another bum who no one has ever heard of. Whyte can get his rematch with Chisora that everyone is calling for.
