Ortiz wants 10 million to fight Joshua, how much is actually realistic?

LOL OMG that can't be real

Then he shouldn't be allowed to call himself an "advisor". Advisors are supposed to work in their fighters' interests, not in the interests of television networks or promotional companies

as long as he "owns" a television boxing series in "Premier Boxing Champions" he isn't just an "advisor"... I guess...

Right, it is increasingly evident that he doesn't strictly advise his fighters in their own best interests but also uses his position to serve the interests of his de facto promotional company, PBC, which is a contravention of the Ali Act as I understand it. There is supposed to be a separation of powers between managers/advisors, promoters and sanctioning bodies, in order to keep fighters from being exploited, e.g. by being advised to turn down career-high purses. Haymon has been doing this since the inception of PBC but it's becoming really harmful now that he can no longer offer more money than his competitors

... well, man: this guy actually found a "crack/niche" within the legislation... that's what businessmen do...

[4truth]

take 6.5 if he wants the fight.

Why do you fools all discuss a topic that only exists in the ops dream world?

Ortiz never asked for 10 million.

Apparently Haymon prevents the fight from happening.

Just texted with Luis Ortiz, who tells me he could be ready for @anthonyfjoshua if his manager instructs him to...don’t get the sense from @premierboxing that they’ll allow this...

Ortiz asked for 10 Mill on his personal Facebook page.
