What's with Whyte's blatant duck of Ortiz?

[Chollo Vista]

He did whatever was necessary to stay clear of Luis Ortiz, I see

[Randall Cunning]

It was never going to happen, Whytes got Joshua on the horizon, and Ortiz is standby for Fury. Ortiz going to Matchroom soon, be getting good fights.

[Redd Foxx]

Not just that, he CALLED OUT Ortiz, then ran from him. Doesn't get more cowardly than that.

[club fighter]

It's cause he would get dropped by Ortiz and doesn't want to expose the charade going on over there in the UK.

[iamboxing]

Agree with Chollo 100%, he should have never mentioned Ortiz if he wasn't willing to back up his words. It's removed the lustre off the Chisora fight knowing we could have watched him in with Ortiz.

Why isn't Ortiz fighting someone better than Travis Kauffman??

the herniacs will soon be in here spewing their madness! this was pathetic by hearn and whyte!

that's a good question but has nothing to do with the thread question.

How many times does this question need to be answered?

Frampton v Warrington is a PPV on BT Sports on the same night.

Whyte v Ortiz wouldn't compete against that end of story.

It's all about PPV buys.

The answer is simple. A fight with Chisora makes a lot more money. Hearn always said that Chisora was their first choice for Whyte. Ortiz should demand that Haymon get him a better opponent. Why can't he fight Breazeale or Kownacki? Those should be easy fights to make.
