I came back and said, ‘Right, this is it, $7million for June 1. [If he wins, he gets] a rematch for quite a bit more and if he loses, I’ll give you another fight for a lot of money for security.’
Matchroom Boxing chief Hearn predicted “King Kong” will now wait for a rematch against Wilder, 33, who he only earned £766,380 against when he fought him before - “seven times” less than he was offered to fight AJ.
He added: “Not only were you offered $7million, but you tried to out us inComment

Thanks for the article. It perked my interest as I couldn’t see why Ortiz would reject 7 mill for 5 times less. I recognize hyperbole when I see it.
Apparently the offer was made 30 days before the scheduled fight. Ortiz was a replacement for miller (who). 40 year old Ortiz would have been in no condition to fight joshua in 30’days.
Luis Ortiz may be on Eddie Hearn’s shortlist to face WBA/WBO/IBF/IBO champion Anthony Joshua on June 1st, but it seems his initial offers came up short.
While Ortiz team refuted any sort of deal last week, Ortiz’ lead-promoter, Jorge Carmenante told Boxing Scene he was insulted by an offer to replace Jarrell Miller.
“After 5 days of BS we declined all of Hearn’s lowball offers and we are tired of his games. I know the magnitude of this fight. I wasn’t going to let Hearn bully me. Especially when I know they need Luis l. I mean who else could they really have to fight and that the public was willing to pay for?” Carmenate said on a story published on Tuesday.
Ortiz got paid a lot more than what ever Hearn was claiming. About 7 mill. Without the time pressure and second choice status.
Wilder vs. Ortiz 2 fight purse, prize money
Wilder will make at least $3 million, while Ortiz's payout begins at $1.5 million, per Yahoo's Kevin Iole. But according to an ESPN report (via Forbes), Wilder will end up with closer to $20 million, and Ortiz $7 million.
So yes yiur right there was an offer made by Joshua to fight Ortiz. But we can also say that he really didn’t want to fight Ortiz at that time.
I’ll green you if I can for this info. ThanksComment

I just posted in this thread about joshuas offer. Is an offer 30 days before a fight for a overweight 40 year old a valid offer. I think Ortiz needs more time than that. And it was a replacement offer. He wanted to fight miller but couldn’t. So was it Hearn or joshua that wanted that fight?
I have to admit I’ve lagged behind on heavy weights these days. Not as interested. So these names miller and whyte don’t jump out at me. When I see a heavy weight fight. Ortiz name is not being called out. Now that could be disinterest because of money issues. But I believe it’s the fact that he’s a heavy fisted giant that can box.
Last heavyweight fights in recent memory, fury and joshua I can’t say I recall Ortiz being brought up.Comment
