Its a lowball offer IMO.
This way Hearn gets to say ' we made him a great offer, he turned us down...'

Anyone saying he’s greedy by asking for 10 doesn’t understand negotiations lol. Always ask for more than you want. Since it says Hearn is gonna counter offer it seems like that’s exactly what’s gonna happen

How set in stone is the above? Not very I'd assume as always in boxing, but that seems the blueprint & general layout at the moment & with Ortiz being arguably the 4th best guy in the division it seems a solid bet he'll get a title shot from someone at some point even if it doesn't transpire exactly like that.
The bigger factor to me is his age. How long can he hold out if he does get bypassed for awhile? I suppose only he really has any idea about that, but if I was on Team Ortiz I'd be sweating that lol.
And maybe a bigger factor is if Wilder signs a deal with DAZN post-Breazeale, as I suspect could happen, does Ortiz get next after Joshua vs Wilder or does he get pushed back in line a ways? Idk about all that.
But yea its a gamble & its always been a gamble for guys who've gotten to where all these guys have gotten.

"Hearn is expected to make a counter-offer to Ortiz before finalizing a deal for Miller’s replacement."
So AJ vs Ortiz may not be totally dead after all!
"Multiple sources also have confirmed to BoxingScene.com that Al Haymon, who advises Wilder and Ortiz, has discussed with Ortiz’s team the possibility of a Wilder-Ortiz rematch taking place as soon as September."
But wait ... I thought Haymon and Finkel were planning a mega bucks offer to AJ to fight Wilder on Showtime PPV after Breazeale was out of the way?

Miller's deal was for $10 million total. That's including the two fights after Joshua. Miller isn't fighting on DAZN anymore so the $10 mil is there. Ortiz knows this that's why he's asking for Miller's $10 mil

So Ortiz went to London looking for AJ, he should have looked in AJs bedroom, but he's ducking now? Hearn is like a guy trying to buy his way out of a hold up. Ortiz simply said what any proper opportunist would say, give me all the money.
