Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz's Manager: No One Has Contacted Us On Usyk Fight

[Deleted]

Unfortunately, Luis Ortiz is not a box office draw. That's why no one is willing to fight him. He is low reward/high risk. Moreover, outside of boxing fans nobody knows him. So why take on Luis Ortiz when you can challenge a less riskier opponent while making more money doing it? Ortiz' manager is right. These guys should quit blowing smoke up our noses and stop using King Kong's name if you are not willing to fight him.

Thank you!! Hope that was clear enough for everyone, but it will probably be forgotten in a day or two.

Hype, marketing etc seems to blind people. We hear fighters use the words "fight the best" or "best should fight the best", but most define the word "best" based on the monetary value aka the size of the payday.

Exactly! Which is why none of the top contenders or top fighters in the division or Hell not even AJ wants no smoke with him. Usyk's handler's including Eddie Hearn are no fools.

No ****. Usyk's promoter said on twitter that it was a fake news story. He never claimed to have contacted Ortiz or Parker, someone just made a fake quote about him. Same thing apparently just happened with Klitschko vs Whyte rumors. Stop blaming this on Usyk or his team, someone is spreading lies that's all.

Be funny if the fight got made when it may have been a rumor here at BS started by Martin T Roll.

Usyk already beat Ortiz in the amateurs.

Uuuuh .... no

I wonder what AJ's excuse is? He clearly isn't out there looking for the biggest challenges. Having a guy like Ortiz on his resume to have a common opponent with Wilder would be very beneficial to him, unless he doesn't think he will beat him. AJ sells out no matter what the opponent, so the argument that a guy is not well known just doesn't hold water. AJ has quite a few on his resume that were not well known.

Bull****

AJ has fought good opponents. It was Wilder who feasted on scrubs for a DECADE

It'd be a decent fight for a first heavyweight fight for Usyk.

Omfg. Amateurs? Ok. Usyk lost to Shawn Porter, Korobov twice, Beterbiev, etc. Doesn't mean crap. No Ortiz in the partial record I found.
