[bronx7]

Usually they rob a fighter Ortiz team would take 30-35% for being the manager and then Rob another 10% for trainer plus charge training traveling expenses but they greeded themselves bluffed for more $ got nothing now

Ruiz is a Haymon fighter ? I can see him on the TR site, but not the PBC one.

He just had a fight on PBC a couple weeks ago. here is a link of him talking about leaving TR and going to Haymon:

Ortiz should have took the fight for the money that was being offered. But I also think he would have pissed dirty and failed a drug test, so that's why he didn't take the fight.

How do you know PBC fighters receive more than their listed purse???

Ive said from day 1 wilder has zero chance against joshua and PBC , haymon and finkle know it....they will do all they can to keep wilder with that belt along with his future challengers.
PBC are a cancer to boxing

Fair play to you mate, I hope others like you are man enough to see it too.

As boxing fans we should all want to see the best fight the best when they're at their best.

When it's clear as day that one side is avoiding that happening then all boxing fans everywhere should be condemning it.

Thanks. I dont know whats so wrong with admitting when we made a mistake. We are only Human.

I realized WIlder didn't want the smoke when he said it will have in "2020". I led me to believe he was stalling for the whole second attempt at negotiations when he turned down the $100 million.

With Ortiz, the teamed claimed "miscommunication" with the fighter and "low ball" offer smh. $7 a low ball offer to someone without a belt?

Im not even gonna talk about Tyson Fury smh. AJ is the most certified an only Boogie man in the division until these other fighters show me otherwise.

Eddie Hearn Has Now Confirmed Luis Ortiz's Team Turned Down Over $7mil For The Anthony Joshua Fight on June 1st: [@IFLTV] First offer: $6million Second offer: $7million plus PPV revenue.

But boogeyman doe.

They all fear Joshua.

[Curt Henning]

are we going to sit here and pretend like AJ calls the shots "get me anyone" he says to hearn? hahaha...cmon

lets be honest....ortiz is too dangerous and too lefthanded for them to take it on short notice

im not saying there wasnt some horseplay on the side of team ortiz...i know how it is with the cubans and all the hands they always have in their pot

i just cant sit here and talk hearns word at full value either

[Curt Henning]

Dudes saying 5M is lowballing Ortiz? I disagree. 5m is too much for Ortizn for someone who is an undercard fighter, has not fought any credible fighter and win, and, is not top 3 in any of the sanctioning bodies. 1.5m or 2m is all Ortiz would have been offered if I were Hearn. No way he would make 7m in the Wilder rematch.

if ortiz isnt worth 5 mil explain to me what makes jarrell miller worth 6.5....

ill wait for a well,explained, logical answer....and if you even try i will shut that **** down real fast

[Baba K]

Ortiz (or more likely his team) blew it...he had a second chance at the championship...a second chance to main event a major event...a first chance at several million dollars. Coming off an underwhelming performance too... I don't get it...whole promotional team should get fired for gross incompetence, particularly if it's true that no one got with him on it.
