Comments Thread For: Team Luis Ortiz Reject Hearn's "Lowball Offer" To Face Joshua

[giant_king]

A low ball offer alone is proof Joshua is scared to fight

[SinderellaMan]

Yes he did. Very disappointed Ortiz would turn any offer down, chance of a lifetime for him and he's got very little time left

Exactly. You take the money & get a shot at multiple belts.
Kind of disappointed by Ortiz.

Hearn has said any stand-in will get the same money as Miller was getting which is 6.5 Mill. This is a crazy duck by these delusional, greedy cowards. It's too pathetic for words. AJ has the whole division shaking in their boots.

Meanwhile, AJ sits and rots, and wants top pay for a sparring match. Everybody else is greedy, but not Mr A side?

Typical of Hearn. Just ask Whyte and wilder .

Ortiz in Feb when Miller was being lined up to face Joshua (https://www.boxingscene.com/luis-ort...ilable--136013):

“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."

I don't see how anybody can attempt to spin Ortiz' own damn words. Money didn't matter then, now he had a chance at the fight it does matter so he's just put up a roadblock to avoid fighting Joshua.

For the record...he did say "just about". So until we know what was offered, hard to judge completely. I'm curious as to whether they are hemorrhaging refund money because of the change in opponent.

Miller isn’t worth 6 mil. Especially without his peds

But the coward Miller wouldn't fight for anything less. Nor would he travel for the fight either like he repeatedly said.

Ortiz is another coward to go with Wilder and co. Hearn offered money that could buy Ortiz's life 5 times over. Still the big mouth turned it down.

Must be dispiriting seeing Ortiz and Wilder brutally exposed after all their scummy fans have been saying. All as delusional as each other. Lying, contradicting, hypocritical filth.

The guys a killer apparently, straight up monster and he gets the chance to beat the man and be world champion and he haggles over the dollars. You know why, cos he knows he can’t win and probably he knows he won’t pass and P tests right now. It a joke, where’s all the heart gone in this sport, Mayweather got everyone thinking they are businessman, they are frickin boxers FGS!

A low ball offer alone is proof Joshua is scared to fight

It’s the other way around, Ortiz should be chomping at a multi-title shot, he’s been feeding on crumbs for years and now he wants millions to fight. Why, because he knows he’ll lose, it’s his final good pay day. Utter joke

[thack]

What a wanker eddy is and the old boy always has been!

[davef]

Never been a big fan of Joshua but im not buying this BS at all Ortiz has the chance to be the main man by beating the champ at MSG a fight he said he would win which will make him millions down the road but they got spooked when facing Joshua became reality

He lost the only major fight he was in and looked garbage last time out now hes demanding a huge pay day? GTFO go back to fighting bums
