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

[-Kev-]

They have that to spare. Also Ortiz would be one of Jushua’s best opponents to date. The question is whether Ortiz actually deserves that much or not. I think UK PPV #s and gate rev would cover that. And DAZN got money. But I think $10mill is probably a little high, he may be starting high and would settle for less.

[KTFOKING]

He should demand for more than what Miller got and then settle for something in that range.

Has he at least started to train?

[STREET CLEANER]

Right now Ortiz won't do 6.5 million anywhere else. They probably know that AJ is in a bind and at least want a semi-recognizable name in the US so they are going hight to negotiate a better deal.

Still if I was Ortiz I would jump on the fight opportunity that has been presented to him

I thought I read Miller was getting 6.5, and Hearn said whomever is chosen to step in would get that amount. 10 mill? I don’t think that’s in the cards.

they need a credible opponent. Is either that or cancel the event.

[Boxing Goat]

10 ain't happening. 6?

Personally I think that 5 million is more than acceptable considering that Joshua will make in the 20 neighborhood. The split will be really close to the sanctioning bodies requirement of 25% to the challenger.

[Squ□redCircle34]

Ortiz should stand his ground and double or nothing or this card is gonna be a wash and people will be getting their refunds and AJ definitely will look very bad since Hearns said AJ will be a star after this fight in America!

He’s at a disadvantage as well due to not having a full camp so it’s understandable he wants more and plus he’s known more than Miller is!

If Hearns wants to save this card he gives Ortiz what he wants or more, something like 12 million plus rematch for Ortiz!

I think that’s fair since Ortiz was never the number 1 option over Miller in the first place!

[Boxing Goat]

if they bring in a bum alot of ppl will scream and cry for refunds. even the cowardly brits would be upset.

Bolded: Agreed. It's simple as that. It HAS TO BE A LEGIT OPPONENT. And if Joshua beats a guy that gave Wilder some trouble easier than he did, he will gain a little bit more leverage over Wilder in my opinion.

[BendOver]

I think the beggar is hearn. All this money spent and the event is going down the toilet.

[BendOver]

Here we go again, another fighter talking a good fight against Joshua only to actually get the chance and back out with more than 1 excuse. Short training camp and its not enough money. All these pages about Ortiz and nobody is talking about 4 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP BELTS. 4 belts, 6.5 million and Ortiz dont even need to dig his passport out seeing as he is based in the US anyway.

Im ready im ready im ready im ready, oh ****, im not ready.

the money is good. But a least if I was Ortiz I'd like to have a chance to win. Short notice doesn't give him a good chance to win. But a least he can be compensated.

[Fanofreason]

How much did he get paid vs Wilder?

Ortiz is so disappointing...he shouldn't be so greedy.

Dazn made their bed with these ridiculous payouts. Now they have to sleep in it.
