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

[champion4ever]

I think he’s cycling off PEDs, personally.

Unless he was on that cuban orange juice

If that's the case then Deontay Wilder must have been juicing too; When he turned down the $120mil offer to fight on DAZN as well. Moreover, Ortiz is currently enrolled in VADA's clean boxing program.

So I don't believe that's the reason why he turned the offer down; No more than I believe that it was the reason why Wilder turned DAZN's offer down.

The reason why those lucrative offers were turned down is because they both were instructed and coached to turn them down by their teams. It's nothing more or nothing less.

Tuesday - Luis Ortiz announces the fight with Anthony Joshua won't happen & accuses Eddie Hearn of "low-balling him".

Wednesday - Eddie Hearn threatens to "expose" Luis Ortiz's team on the offer.

Friday - Ortiz's team announce it's their fault the AJ fight isn't happening.

Point is, those guys are NAMES at HW. We've seen some of these guy fight a "who dafuq is that?" type of opponent before.

As I said, there are only about 10 decent HWs worth watching nowadays, and I use the "worth" loosely.

names?

you need a reality check.

If you think guys like kaufmann or hammer are considered 'names' in the heavyweight division, you must be on that good stuff.

That's not "a view" that's being on crack.

Lolsss you must be smoking something cheap, Ortiz, 4th in popularity??? Hahaha don’t make me laugh, wait...it is a joke right????silly Wilder fan girls are so delusional...if he is that popular why was his fights after Wilder undercards??? He has never been in a PPV fight you shill...not counting he Is drug cheat just like fat baby Miller

You are the one who needs to smoke less. And no, I'm not a Wilder fan. He ducked way too many. 40 fights with one credible opponent? LOL!!!!!!

So tell us Einstein... what are IN ORDER the top 5 HWs now?

[Jubei]

For everyone that paid attention knows that the offer was quite a bit more than $5 Million, possibly around $7m, since Ortiz own manager confirmed that Luis, the fighter would have gotten $5m for himself after his promoter took his 30% fees. It will all come out in the next couple days.

He won't get anything near that for holding out to fight Wilder

In your inexperienced uneducated amateur opinion.

They are names. Much bigger names than the bum Fury is fighting. NOBODY on this board has ever heard of Tom Schwartz
