Comments Thread For: Hearn: If Luis Ortiz Wants Joshua Next - He Can Have It Next!

For all those shouting Testing isn’t Ortiz under the CBP with the WBC???

Yeah, motherfucker go and tell Al Haymon to take you to McDonald's and buy your homeless, starving hungry ass a Happy meal. At least he is doing something right. His fighters are staunchly loyal to him by turning down life changing money from DAZN.

****** is not equal to loyal. ****** is the word to describe his fighters. ****** are always taken advantage of. Unless they are not ******, but just so god damn desperate. Either way that does not reflect well on Al Haymon.

You don't know his business. You don't know how much the PBC and Showtime are offering Luis Ortiz for a Wilder rematch.

Remember he requested $10 mil from Matchroom. However, Eddie countered with a $7 mil offer. Therefore, if he turned down $7 mil then chances are he has a back up plan to receive more than the $10 mil elsewhere.

If not he would have gone to the highest bidder. At this point, Al Haymon would do just about anything to keep his stable intact. Even if it means over inflating his fighter's purses.

Besides, Ortiz probably prefers fighting Wilder more anyway because he came very close to winning the last time. He probably feels he has a better chance of defeating Deontay than Joshua and for more money as well.

I'm willing to bet money that Ortiz will never make $10m per Wilder fight. But since that might be a long term bet, I'm willing to bet money he won't make $10m fighting Wilder in 2019. Happy to talk conditions if you are so knowledgable. Would love to have a Christmas bonus

I see the same crowd are still trying to blame Hearn for the fight not happening.

They turned down $7m. After Hearn outed the details, Ortiz's team came out and said the offer wasn't a low ball, it was a mistake that they turned the offer down, and they were blaming each other in-house for the mistake.

And there's till people trying to blame Hearn and cry 'lowball'.
You guys need help, you're trying way too hard.

Or, Ortiz is on that juice and he didn't have enough time to cycle off

That's a possibility lol

I hope Ortiz accepts the fight. This will make him look bad if he doesn't accept.

Look at here man, Al Haymon and Showtime don't have to offer Ortiz a $10 mil guarantee. That was just a show of force to prove to Eddie how much leverage they had by attempting to strong arm him at the bargaining table.

They just threw that figure out there just to see how desperate Eddie Hearn was and to squeeze as much money out of him as possible because they knew that he was in dire straits for a last minute opponent.

In addition, they knew full well in advance that they were never going to take the fight in the first place because they had been instructed not to. It was all a scam from the start.

Lastly, one would have to be a damn fool to believe that Team Ortiz would have gotten more than $10mil from Matchroom Sport and Anthony Joshua as a last minute replacement opponent. Which was why Team Ortiz priced themselves out because they knew that they were never going to get that asking price to begin with.

At what point do you actually accept that it wasn't Hearn's fault?

Because in this instance the fighter blamed his own team for the fight not happening, the manager blamed the promoter and the promoter admitted they screwed up.

But you're blaming Hearn. The agendas on these boards are next level.

Ortiz is worth more than what he was offered. 7 mil is a low offer for a fighter of his quality...Aj is not trying to prove he is the man at hw he is just happy beating bums

[BOXING-SCRIBE]

are you really sure you are alright? Say this rubbish to AL not Eddie. Eddie never offered an PED user 500k you punk.

La liga your a dope.
You sound like Aj, he hides behind Hearn you hide behind a keyboard
