Comments Thread For: Team Ruiz Confirm Deal Nearly Finalized To Face Anthony Joshua

I wonder what happened after the video where Ortiz manager said that they wanted the fight and asked Hearn to send the contract.

You can't phuck Eddie in public screaming "lowball", then come back to demand for contract. That train has moved. Let the pet monkey go look for another undercard fighter for 200k, nobody gives a phuck.

One, Ortiz is easily the number 4 HW behind the big three. He has already fought for a title. Miller hadn't done that. Two, you bring up Ortiz's 500k against Wilder. Do you know that Millers biggest purse was 527k vs Adamek and that was won on a purse bid. So there is no way in the world you can justify giving one guy who earned 527k 6.5 million in Miller but turn around a say Ortiz doesn't deserve it. Three, are you aware of the NY taxes? They are insane. Ortiz asked for 10 million. But when everything cleared out, he was probably going to take home around 5 million. Miller was getting 6.5. After everything cleared out he wss probaly going to walk with 2-2.5 million.

so what exactly is your excuses?
Why don't you come out straight? Be a man.

Dead Zone. Dazn continues to flop

Ruiz is no hoper just like Miller would be. Fair opponent but he comes just for payday. All these guys would have much more chance against Wilder.

IMO only Wilder, Fury or Ortiz can beat Joshua at this moment.

Every show has a total budget, and generally most of that budget is used to pay for everything inc fighters purses etc. So when miller agreed to that deal, it must have been a negotiation and not a straight 6.5mil hearn offer and miller agreed. My point being dazn and hearn wouldnt just pull a extra 3mill out there bank to pay for a cuban who cant even speak english, as far as i know doesnt reside in n.y and would possibly bring less draw in other then the hardcore boxing fans. Ortiz wasnt going to sell any extra tickets or bring in casuals where as miller would have just by running his mouth which is what he was good at. This is a business, everybodys in it to make money, not to accept ridiculous monetary demands just because you see a oppertunity. 7mil is life changing... good luck to ortiz for making anywhere near that between now and when he hangs his gloves up. Greed got the better of him and his team

Ruiz Jr is a much better opponent than Miller. He has fast hands, power and HW pedigree.

Miller had illicit juice, hollow smack-talk and had never stepped up in the division, Ruiz Jr. had at least faced Parker in a close fight, Parker who also gave Joshua a close fight.

Not interested...won't follow. Shoulda made Ortiz a better offer, wouldve added DAZN subscribers (including me)

If the fight was on showtime PPV you would pay for it. You are too loyal

Sorry, there si no argument for Ortiz being N. 4. His record is trash, Povetkin, Whyte, even Kownacki, Miller all have better records.

But old Ortiz can punch very hard and that`s why I would love to see him fighting Joshua.

Am glad he didn't get the fight in the end. He can fuck right off. I can excuse turning down 4/5 times your usual payday, not 10/12 times yours and at old age as well.

They didn't demand a contract after that. Also, calling anyone a pet monkey is pretty low. I guess we should expect that type of stuff from the keyboard warriors of today.
