    High time for Luis Ortiz to leave PBC

    Looks like he can't get any more substantive fight in-house.
    All he's getting are meaningless ones aside from the 2 fights with Wilder.
    Fellow PBC fighters like Martin, Breazeale, Ruiz, Kownacki, even
    Washington, Arreola won't fight him.

    This sport needs to move on. And Ortiz leaving PBC
    should be welcomed and encouraged as time is running out for the aging Cuban fighter.

    There's a good list outside like Whyte, Povetkin, Parker, Chisora, Joyce,
    Usyk, and many many more.

    He was already with Matchroom.

    Why do you guys assume a promoter can force an agreement between two men? It's dumb. We've had guys promoted by the same promoter who can't agree on terms since the colorline.

        He's a fat old man who doesn't speak English and they already got him 2 world heavyweight title fights. Why would he leave?

          Idk what's going on behind the scenes but I feel like Al is doing favors for Ortiz more than Ortiz would wanna leave. He keeps getting ez fights or payday title fights.

          Now that the belt PBC had is gone he'll likely have to fight a tougher guy to get a sexier payday, but I kinda doubt he's mad about it. Who knows doe.

            Staying with PBC is working for him.

            Pretend you want some big shots, then say yes to Haymon's showcase fights at the drop of a hat. He barely lift a finger in his last easy fight with some cab driver. Easy work, easy money.

              Heads needed to roll when he was not informed Anthony Joshua was offering the fight he'd said he wanted for a career high pay day. They neglected to tell him about the offer and lied to Hearn and Joshua about his availability.

                Ortiz's team is clearly waiting for another huge offer from Hearn. But those days are gone. I even read Hearn suing Amanda Serrano for the initial $10K he gave for the Taylor fight and wants it back. I mean $10K? That's cheap man!

                  This is a lie . Ortiz was with Matchroom while being under contract for an AJ fight coming up . There would be no need to force anything had he honored that contract in his 3 fight deal then going into a Joshua one because he held a WBO mandatory position , but keep trying sooner or later you’ll get it . Ha

                  Ortiz fought Wilder for what was 250,000 or so instead . Where was the dispute with any agreement on money there ? Ha

                    If only the rumors of him being lined up to fight Ruiz would've came to fruition. That'd be in my opinion one hell of a scrap,hopefully PBC can still pull that one off.
