Comments Thread For: Wilder Explains Why He Finalized Ortiz, Passed on Joshua

[kafkod]

DUCKER, DOSSER. You dont believe anything Anthony Joshua says? You knew the Joshua fight was NOT happening this year so thats why you went for Ortiz? Even though it was made very very clear that Joshua wanted to make that fight this year and nobody wants to see the Ortiz rematch?

Get out. Sorry Deontay theres no talking your way out of this one. You are an official DUCK. Not even to mention that the contract you have signed with Ortiz has no date or venue, remember the AJ contract you claimed you wanted but couldnt sign due to date and venue. Infact ive checked. EVERY SINGLE contract Wilder has signed since he turned down AJ cuz of date and venue has been signed without a date and venue.

I think Team Wilder and their fans think we all got a short memory so they can blame things on things now and then contradict themselves not long after. It all screams DUCK to me.

"who else is fighting Ortiz? "

No-one else was allowed to. He was being saved for Wilder!

Did he really say that?



Wow did he came up with that too? Maybe the pressure is building up slowly on him. At least some americans are questioning him.

No big mystery what went on here. Team Wilder made damn sure that they would NOT be available for an AJ fight this fall. Wilder-Ortiz isnt even until September, so no urgency whatsoever to announce it this week. Pretty obvious why they would not wait even 6 days to see if Joshua talks could go anywhere.........

Wilder: "I knew none of these major fights were going to happen this year, because I'm fighting Ortiz in Sept. And who else is fighting Ortiz? Nobody, because he's fighting me in Sept. So that's why I'm fighting Ortiz instead of AJ"

To the retards Wilder is aiming this crap at, it all makes perfect retarded sense!

How about a side wager about Wilder's earnings by the end of next year. A single Joshua fight alone will probably add 50 mil or more to his bank account. Fantasy world? Put your money up. I prefer U.S dollars over pounds!

Lolx....dollar is baby to pounds...let's not go there.
Wilder made 10mil against breazeale and left 10mil on the table, that's by the way.

Ortiz the sissy is making less than 2mil for rematch, leaving over 5mil on the table, that's his loss.

Wilder making 50mil against AJ? AJ will have to leave some money on the table for wilder to pick if he desperately want that green belt.

I think this Wilder guy is forgetting that he is much older than Joshua. He is 33 years old now how much of his prime does he think he has left?

Should be fighting Joshua now but I guess he is a very vengeful guy. I remember when the roles were reversed and Wilder was accepting 15 million flat fees and offering 50 million guarantees and Joshua and Hearn were making a fool of him. He was bending over backwards trying to make the fight until he got absolutely fed up with Hearn and Joshua.

Now he doing the same thing they did to him now. Vengeance is best served cold and this is cold AF but having said that I still think he should rather try and get his revenge in the ring instead of this way. This isn't helping anyone.

aj fans will never accept this as truth

wilder and trump do resemble each other: their main mission is a publicity campaign of lies, they both are horrible with money and lose millions of it, both below average intelligence. only difference is people actually know who trump is

LMAO!

But seriously, I've been thinking for a while now that Trump was the inspiration for Finkel's PR campaign with Wilder. Both follow the same method - target the message at people who are either too dumb to think about it rationally or too agenda driven to even care if it makes sense or not. There are enough of them out there for this to work.

Once they realise you are talking to them, you can basically tell them whatever the fck you like ... as long as it's something they want to hear.

I remember how fanatic Wilder fans kept talking here how is Ortiz second best heavyweight in the world, when the first fight was over.

So no surprise Wilder rematches him.

[kafkod]

The idiot A.J fans have never read the contract and certainly do not know the details. Wilder had concerns about venues, judges, referees, etc.

And you do know all the details because you have seen the contract, yeah?

And Wilder must have told personally about his concerns about the judges, referees, etc, because he never said anything about that in public.

Stop making up excuses for him!

[IRONCHINHAGLER]

Blah blah blah...most exciting HW in the world...over 40 fights and mult-year title reign - and still cant carry a ppv fight in US w/o foreigners Fury/AJ!!!!

[kafkod]

Bad decision? Let's see what he get's when Joshua finally does get in the ring with him. He may get 75 mil or more to knock The overhyped brit out cold. We have no idea what the numbers can be. Why do you think Hearn offered what he offered.

If Wilder thought he was going to knock AJ out cold he would have accepted DAZN's $100million offer. As undisputed HW king, he could earn $75million fighting Ortiz or Kownacki on Showtime PPV.

[Boxing Goat]

I don't like the reasoning but he's right.....the big 3 aren't facing one another this year.

It figures that all 3 would be fighting under separate promotions!

[STREET CLEANER]

What ever Wilder said makes no sense and does not justify the Ortiz fight.

And on top of that neither AJ or Wilder don't go to each others live fights.
