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

[rolshans]

Screw Ortiz...God damn duck

[BigZ44]

Didn't Ortiz say he wanted 10 million to fight Joshua on his facebook page?

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

[HanzGruber]

Haymon knows how to treat people fairly? (Ortiz only got $500k to face Wilder)

you cant make this stuff up.........lol

And you as a promoter or former should know it’s all relative. Wilder got 2 mil for that fight. If Joshua is making 20 million why would Ortiz settle for a million or two?

Lowball offer is code for I priced myself out after my team wouldn't allow me to take the fight. His career high payday was 500K to fight Wilder last year. He was definitely offered well past that to fight Joshua. Big Baby was set to make I believe 6M. At worst Ortiz likely offered 3-4M worst case. And I bet you he won't make half that his next fight. The amounts will leak on what he was offered and I'd bet anything it was 2-8X his career payday. Haymon has made it clear he isn't going to allow any of his fighters to go to DAZN and fight Joshua. I hope Haymon is promising Ortiz a Wilder rematch for 5-6M guaranteed and with what he will have to pay Wilder I don't know how you can swing that especially since Wilder already knocked him out not many fans screaming to see that again.

Can see this thread getting bumped a lot over the next couple years of him facing Kaufman types

Ortiz’s stock has rose because of his effort in the Wilder fight they could have gave him what they gave miller he’s know.

[Rip Chudd]

It’s all relative. Tickets will without miller. Ortiz should get close to what he’s getting

I'd like to see what he was offered. It probably wasn't the 6.5 mil that Hearn said Miller's replacement would get. I doubt we find out either cause Hearn probably sent an NDA with the offer. Remember when he offered Broner a deal and Broner came out and said what Hearn offered him and Hearn responded with "guess Broner doesn't know what an NDA is"

This guys are a joke. Am sure they weren’t lowballed. If you really want the fight then you negotiate, they should have stick to the “not enough time” excuse lol. If any team is going to talk about lowball that team would never include Ortiz. Your highest payday is 500k... for a guy that said he would take this fight for free a couple of months ago. This beetches always come out when a boxer has already signed to fight someone else.

Is this duck Ortiz speaking or Beyonce Wildher?

[Mammoth]
