Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Turned Down $5M, Asked For $10M To Fight Joshua 6/1

[15 Rounds again]

Keep that same energy when it's done to an American fighter. I'm sure you'll support it with all your might. Wouldn't want the American to be called a coward for refusing to pay a nobody 10 Mill when his biggest payday is only 500K.

That would be bad.

Sid, these cats are utterly delusional.
They are supporting the en****** that are bending them over and sticking it in.
Hearn is now clearly in a battle with the American boxing establishment- if he wins fights fans win - and if he loses and goes back to the UK then fight fans lose, and idiots will applaud it, not realizing that they have opposed the guy who.us trying to change the status quo, to make fights.
There are some dumb cvnts on this planet.

It's up to Ortiz whether he wants to fight or not, but calling $5 million "lowball" is well off the mark.

They've all used this phrase now, yet we all understand that $5M for Whyte, 40% for Fury, 40% for Wilder and now $5M for Ortiz aren't lowball offers. They are very credible offers.

If just one of those names actually wanted the fight, the fight would get made.

When Wilder talks about 50/50 for Joshua, do you ever hear anyone cry "lowball" on Joshua's behalf? Because that is a lowball split. Joshua just isn't singing off the same hymn sheet as these guys.

That group of fighters is trying to achieve something with these statements. I hope they all fail, because they're ruining the sport for their own agenda.

Haymon bought his ass* for 500k and wants to sell him for 10 mil, people saying Ortiz's stack have raised since ko loss showing no proof, no evidence of that, btw he's got older lol

[Nomadic]

Turned down 5M, he priced himself out. What's his next fight going to net him? Anything less than 5M makes him a fool!

[Phenom]

When they said they were low balled and the manager went on the rant I thought they offered Ortiz something like 1M on 6 weeks notice

5M is not too far off if you want to negotiate up to 6 or 7 I understand but that's a real offer to make the fight

[Jubei]

People here making excuses saying Ortiz should have gotten more than $5 Million is laughable. Ortiz unlike Miller is not signing to DAZN for a multi fight deal. Ortiz cant even speak english and cant sell a fight, his last couple fights were all undercard fights and he almost put the audience to sleep.

Just another disgusting PBC duck.

[sicko]

Oh DAZN do need a legit opponent. But if they can't get one, that's Miller's fault, not AJ's.

Did Floyd set the bar when he got paid less than Gatti and De La Hoya? Of course not. This is just a cowards way of avoiding a beating. He even said he'd accept any money on offer for the AJ fight but has been found to be nothing but another liar. The only way they'll do it, is with an obscene amount. Boxing and fighting for the Heavyweight championship should not be like this. It's a f3cking disgrace.

Not disagreeing with you at all! It is unfortunate that the sport has turned into...This!

[Raggamuffin]

Hearn is expected to make a counter-offer to Ortiz before finalizing a deal for Miller’s replacement.

[rickJen]

Not interested in this fight.
I want Ortiz vs Kownacki.

It's a debut fight for Joshua in the US.
He can fight someone younger and not as greedy as this old clown.

[Raggamuffin]

If Joshua fights another bum or inferior fighter I'm through with him as a boxer. I'm just ****en sick of the coward. If he fights anyone that is respectable then I'll wait for his next fight. It wasn't his stiff ass cowardly fault that the fat pig failed testing, but Joshua needs a credible opponent at least or I'm done even watching him forever!
