That is mexican logic!

hahaha how ironic, wilder and fury are fakes, yet its ortiz the one that got caught using steroids

that is mexican/latino american logic for you! They support a ped doper but call real champs fake!!! Mexican logic at its finest!

Haymon is still signing fighters but he already got all the good ones!

a shame for him that haymon has stopped signing up so many fighters. Maybe there's still a deal to be made there, with haymon or schaefer's new company he can have a good performance on showtime and work towards a fight with wilder or joshua. Not heard any rumours of him moving in that direction though.

It just seems like his only chance of getting fury/joshua/wilder to face him is if he's mandatory. He's already part of the wba mix, as bad an organisation as they are he seems best off sticking with that, the wbc have a situation of their own (povetkin-stiverne to see who faces wilder, who is injured) and the next ibf mandatory after parker won't be for over a year so there's no short road to a big fight for him.

If he goes to haymon then fair enough, but arum and hearn won't sign him and it seems you're better off having a big/connected promoter in your corner when trying to get hbo/showtime exposure, enforce a mandatory or get a big fight. Maybe he'll go to rn as part of the deal to be on the kov-ward undercard but they've not solved rigo's career problems so far.

haymon already signed enough guys but he is still signing more!

What team ORTIZ should be rallying AGAINST is the f'd up scene in boxing is controlled by PAPA AL, best should fight the best that's what fans should demand and NOT WATCH the CRAP

i feel sorry for this guy, cant see any of the top guys fighting him soon, they are just going to wait until father time takes its toll on ortiz.

1..first try to make sense with what your gonna say, and then spit it out..2..what does mexican champs have to do with a black american champion, a british champion or a cuban fighter?

I wish Ortiz all the best!

[Edward90]

I hope this move helps the chances of those fights happening. If the big fights avoid him, he should do what Spence has been doing, annihilating common opponents to drive demand for the bigger fights. That and forcing mandatories...

[Kigali]

great decision. He is gonna bring the HW division back. Just have to rid out the fakes like Wilder and Fury and beat Wlad by KO.

You never get it right...

The writing was on the wall when HBO didn't even attempt to sign Joshua. The have no interest in the HW division. They're trying to build lower weight fighters because they're cheaper. Ortiz is old. It's now or never for him. He can't wait around while Golden Boy and HBO straighten out their issues with Haymon. It's a risk tho.
