Comments Thread For: Manager: Adam Kownacki Not An Option To Fight Joshua On June 1

ok my bad. My point is that he has a promoter. Ortiz doesn't.

My point is that Haymon does not block PBC fighters from making moves! If Ortiz doesn't want the fight, it's not Al Haymon or the PBC's fault!

I did not see that statement! Please provide a link!

No need to apologize! Your date is enough! That's much different than April 17th! I'm sure Ortiz would've took the fight (June 1st) in February! Not the same halfway through April!

If Miller Doesn't Work Out, I'm Available!

Here it is:

February 6, 2019:

“Listen, I heard you mention my name two weeks ago and I didn’t feel like responding because maybe like Whyte and (Joe) Joyce, you were just using my name to show you got some cojones which I believe you do. But just in case, maybe Eddie hasn’t informed you that my manager has already reached out to him. It was last month before you made that comment about me and advised him I’m available," said Ortiz to BoxingScene.com.

“So look, if you want to fight I’m here and stop saying I priced myself out because I’ve never had no offers to fight you. With all respect to you for all you have done, I’ll fight you for just about any money you offer me so if you can’t work out the Miller fight, I’m here and ready. I’ll fight you in the USA or UK. It’s on you and if you think you’re that good and want to test yourself who better than me? Wilder and Fury are not available and I believe in my heart to be the best you must face the best."

Now please be honest with me. Were you pissed that Joshua chose Miller over Ortiz?

I didn't hate the Miller fight, loudmouth New Yorker in New York and all that, but would've preferred Ortiz.

How about you?

Of course I would rather Ortiz, but I know the game! DAZN wants DAZN guys! It's that simple! Actually, I really wanted Whyte vs. Miller in NYC! Whyte is Jamaican! They could've sold that, if they knew what they're doing! Oh well, hindsight is 20/20!

Pugmire texted with Ortiz.

Ortiz wants the fight. He should not be blocked from taking it.

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...

I like Dillian Whyte and in London it's a no brainer, but does that fight do MSG with no title?

There's also Sky Sports to consider as it's PPV in the UK and Adam Smith has made clear his preference for Ortiz.

That's only 2 days ago! The fight is 6 weeks from tomorrow! When did Joshua start training? GTFOH! If he wanted Ortiz, he should've signed him instead of Miller! Now you want him to accept this BS, knowing damn well Joshua, nor Fury, nor Wilder, would ever do the same!

It's a great opportunity for someone like Ortiz, who is usually seen as too high risk low reward.

A shot at the WBA, IBF, WBO belts with a multumillion dollar payday.

He should jump on it and his adviser would be wrong to get in the way.
