So why not just come out and say that??? Everybody knows time is tight on this one. Saying he wants to be a champ so deems the camp too short to go in at 100%. That would be fine. You would get some folk on here pointing out what he said about stepping in for Miller for ANY amount of money but i feel the time frame would be a good reason to not take it right now.Or he doesn't have enough time to prepare and he really wants to be a Champ. why they didn't offer the fight from the beginning? Why miller? 5 weeks is not enough for a fight of this magnitude. He wants the money of course but he is not ready to retire just yet. And that is what will happens if aj wins. Fighters that are on the verge of getting a crown, don't take short notice fights. Ugas took a few of them because he had no choice.
Why instead go on the offensive and start blasting Hearn calling him a lowballer and saying Joshua never wanted the fight it was all smoke using Ortiz name and it was all just a gimmick. I think we are all pretty clear on it NOT being a lowball now. Trust me if the offer was a lowball Team Ortiz would of told us what that number was.
Fact is they have ducked this fight and have thrown up a smokescreen and have screamed and shouted and pointed the blame and called lowball but there are already too many facts out there to not be able to back up their claims and it also sounds like the facts will soon be coming out about exactly how much he was offered and not only will it confirm Team Ortiz ducked it will also show that they LIED to everybody about what was actually offered to them.
They have run from this and tried to push the narrative it was the other sides fault and thats only going to last as long as the facts are hidden. The problem is IT IS TOO BIG OF A DUCK for people to try paint it as anything other and have people believe it.Comment

Jimenez got some fűçking explaining to do!
Ortiz could be set for life with that money if he invests right and open up some businesses or real estate!
Either he’s juicing or trying to cycle off of it or his managers are the worst managers in boxing next to Rigo’s managers!
I’m an Ortiz fan but this doesn’t look good on him at all, I know he would’ve been in not the best shape but Edwards is clearly trying to save this card and even is willing to pay the most you ever made an prolly will make and even cut you some of the UK revenue!
Not sure Haymon is gonna pay Ortiz anything close to 8 mill for a Wilder rematch even on PPV!

At this point, I strongly believe it wasn't about the money, it's about VADA.
Ortiz is cycling off PEDs.
No other explanations or excuses.Comment

Congratulations..... Your excuses are enough to justify the duck and also tell us hez cycling off peds.Feels like something along those lines. I can see holding out on 5M because he's worth more than that for a Joshua fight. Everyone with boxing sense knew it and it was proven true when the offer got bumped up. To skip this though, when you're old AF and have been chasing title shots...
We as fans get such a small window into these situations that I'm not going to play know-it-all and say he's definitely up to some shyt. But, I gotta say it feels suspect.
We understand his predicament.Comment
