Those quick to slam Ortiz for the $1.5M purse listed on his NSAC contract should realize his actual guarantee is approximately $7M, Hearn's final offer for the Joshua fight. #WilderOrtiz2

So someone is paying Wilder $20M and Ortiz $7M.
Who?
Here's the usual system... a matchup generates interest amongst sports fans, interest generates sales, sales generate money, money gets the fighters in the ring.
This version is someone pays them a fortune. What do they get in exchange for their money?

You gotta admit PBC is paying an average of $1 - 2 mil for fights of this nature.
Do you think this fight is as big as Thurman/Garcia/Porter
when they fought each other, who made $1-2m each?
Is Ortiz bigger than the names above?

Foxsports.com:

If the most known American HWT and the sport's cash cow with a huge Mexican fanbase are losing huge sums of money in Vegas this sport is in trouble.
PPV should be for megafights only not fights that should be on Fox or showtime.

Why do people not ask for proof or criticize Joshua's purses. Who here actually believes Joshua is getting $85 million?
