Eddie Hearn's Final Offer 7+Mil To Luis Ortiz Rejected, Fight Officially Off!!

[bballchump11]

I'll need somebody other than Hearn to confirm this. But that was a great deal if true.

[lfc19titles]

I think this is the way he sees it:

He passes AJ and gets a rematch with Wilder, he goes for the kill this time. If he passes Wilder he can then go get AJ, loose and retire.

He knows it is one thing to fight Wilder and another to fight AJ.

With Wilder he has a chance, with AJ, not so much.

So he is just rolling the dice at this point.

This

Wilder is the same

Like Ortiz both know they won’t win vs aj so are rolling the docent

[Chrismart]

Ortiz doesn't want the fight. That's the story.


It's painful reading posts of people saying he should turn down anything under the Miller money, then when Hearn says he was offered that, they say he's right to turn it down.

I mean, at least go and make the effort to delete your old contradictory posts or something

These idiots that said he should have taken 5 million need to pay attention. You guys don't understand how money works. He just got offered 7+.

Now, Ortiz rejecting 7m is just su****ious to me. I knew he was worth more than 5 and it seems even Hearn agrees on that. Passing 7m + is hard to wrap my head around when we're taking about Ortiz here. I think other "factors" came into play.

Maybe he thinks that if a much less accomplished Jarrell Miller is worth 6.5 then he should be worth 10 especially if its on short notice. Only explanation I can think of.

ortiz is scared as ***. joshua is the boogeyman. beyonce wilder and ortiz both turned down set for life money lol.

[Madison Boxing]

Hearn lowballed him doe!!!!!!

[Boksfan]

Ortiz the Cuban coward.

[BLACK KNOT]

you do realize that mike coppinger has reported that Ortiz has been promised a wilder rematch which will most likely be on ppv right? you realize wilder is a champion right?

and that if Ortiz wins he can bring a wbc belt to the table against AJ and get more money right?

coppingger has been wrong plenty of times. I'm sure he reported that the fury vs wilder rematch would be happening and we all saw how that turned out. it didn't happen. ortiz isn't guaranteed anything! lol ortiz is ****** for turning down 7 million. he got 400k for wilder. he won't get half of that anywhere else. ortiz is like almost 50 years old he doesn't have time to wait.

[PRINCEKOOL]

Joshua will fight anyone, why don't people get that. Hes the only top heavyweight not scared of anyone. Hes ducked by everyone. The lowball offer has been exposed now its onto the next excuse.

"yea he only want to fight ortiz on short notice doe, wouldnt fight him with a full training camp"

Does anyone actually believe this rubbish.
Heres my prediction. In the next 4 years Joshua will fight all the top contenders and destroy them all. Im sure people will still call him lucky or something though. Or maybe blame the ref. There will allways be something

It seems like the culture we live in today, especially with social media. This enables fighters and teams to totally create their own narrative which people just blindly believe. Even outside of boxing you see this happening 'Somebody creates a narrative, and tells a story and then people just go along with it without any real thought'. 'If a documentary was created to prove that Anthony Joshua was afraid and scared to face other heavyweights' 95% of this forum and people outside of the forum would just believe it.

I have stated for a very long time now, that neither Tyson Fury or Deontay Wilder want to face Anthony Joshua. 'Fury is smart though, as he will pick up the phone when Eddie Hearn calls but? Don't let that fool you, his a*ss has gone just like the rest of them 'His jackanory stories of being the linear heavyweight champion, and fighting man don't work on me'.

Tyson Fury would have 4 more fights, and he would still be saying that he is in a comeback phase.

I would have offered 3-4 million and then moved on if they aren’t interested.

I’m sure both Hunter and Ruiz would take 1 mil! (Yes I know they aren’t as big fights but at least they will accept sensible offers)
