Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Accepts Dillian Whyte's Offer To Fight on 12/22 in UK

I just want the fight to happen. Put it to bed so both sides can shut up about it haha

So so true my man. So true.

I think it's safe to assume that even if Hearn gave Ortiz 750k he would jump at it considering his previous purses.

His filed purse against wilder was 350k USD.

That against what Whyte sells in PPV .. circa 400k means Whyte won't mind at all. He can give Ortiz a million USD and it wouldn't be near what chisora wants as a split

You maybe right. Even if Whyte semi-lowballs him it's still more than Ortiz usually makes, or would make on the Wilder undercard. Whyte would also make more than he would vs Chisora.

Will the WBC sanction this as the final-eliminator that Dillian Shyte ducked a couple months ago?

Final eliminator for the second mandatory position you mean

[Abovetheclouds]

Good fight and I'll be buying this over Frampton/Warrington for sure.

Hey, Dillian could of fought Pulev in an IBF final eliminator if he didn't want to wait. But had they offered Breazeale a proper purse in negotiations in the first place they probably be in Brizzy's position right now.

let's see if this fight really gets made

Yes that all makes sense.

[Rip Chudd]

Make it happen. Ortiz wants it, Whyte wants it, let's see if Hearn will get it done.

Would love for this fight to happen but highly doubtful. Whyte could be in line for a big rematch against Joshua and Hearn isn't going to risk that. This just pressures Chisora to come off on some of his demands and make the Whyte fight for December.

He has no choice. Whyte has to fight him.

I have always rated Whyte’s heart as a boxer his balance is terrible but I hope he doesn’t prove me wrong. Chisora should not even be in the mix for anything . I know he beat Takam but beating Chisora proves absolutely nothing.

Let’s knockout this dinosaur even though I will be putting my money on Ortiz. The 12 th round against Parker made that decision easy to make.... sorry Brits if there is something I love more than my fellow countrymen it’s my money

Its meaningless anyway Wilder would stall for 4-5 years at least based on his past form. Wilder will have lost by then anyway and the winner can fight AJ he has an amazing reocrd of fighting the top 5 fighters.
