Comments Thread For: Luis Ortiz Turned Down $5M, Asked For $10M To Fight Joshua 6/1

[hugh grant]

These fighters think Josh will put them in hospital so want more money than usual

Got to love the Cuban school of business

Anthony Joshua should sign with PBC. Eddie has no one for him to fight.

This just shows Wilder holds all the keys.

Go home and think about what yousaid! You're not allowed back on this site for 60 days!

Good luck drawing American eyeballs to Joshua with Michael Hunter or Manuel Charr or Junior Fa.

Luis Ortiz is the only top class heavyweight available that will give the event a big fight feel.

It doesn't have to be $10 million but he does deserve what Miller would have gotten.

But Wilder drew eyes with all those bums?

Interesting.

When fighter make ridiculous demands like Ortiz, they are really saying they don't want the fight. Only person to blame here is Ortiz.

I've said this before when the clear B side is making all these excuses and putting up hurdles they just don't want the fight. When you have made career high 500K and are offer 5M but say screw that I need 10M what more is there to say. Wilder was guaranteed 5M to fight Fury and he's the A side. How you going to pay Ortiz 5M against Wilder? You need to pay Wilder more then that and all for a fight that will flop on PPV. He's not getting 5M against Wilder or anyone else hell he hasn't made 5M total his entire career now he wants 10M? Only fighters making 10M are canelo, Pacquiao, GGG...yeah 40 year old Ortiz is in that same sentence as a draw. This dude is a undercard fighter. Only fight he's had in the last 2 years that was a main event was against Wilder. Now he wants A side PPV money? Lmao

Ortiz should have took that $5 million dollar offer. That's a great deal.

Orlando Salido beat Vasyl Lomachencko & couldn't get $1 million for a rematch.

[Sid-Knee]

Has everyone in here went ******ed? You say 5 millions $ is a solid offer? SOLID? Mofos are so greedy today that boxing fans actually start to believe 5 millions $ for voluntary is a pocket change I wanna see this idiot Ortiz making 5m in his next fight

Hey, they're Americans. It's their right to be ******ed. It's in the constitution I think. Haha

[daggum]

NONSENSE. Ortiz's stock has skyrocketed since that great fight with Wilder.

yeah thats why hes headlining cards left and right...

[bigdunny1]

I do agree that Hearn phuked this all up. They got extorted then agreed to overpay for B side opponents. Now those past offers are coming back to bite them with every fighter they approach demanding more and more. They overpaid big baby because he is American a trash talker and signed with Hearn. Now 40 year old Cubans who can't sell shyt in the US are now making 10M demands lol Hearn created that monster.

[Sid-Knee]

5M dollars lmao they never wanted to fight Ortiz obviously. If they really wanted to fight him they’d at least offer him the same amount Miller was receiving. Why offer less to an higher caliber opponent fighting on short notice? DAZN fan boys brag about how much money DAZN has all the time now they’re supporting a lowball offer. 5M is a slap in the face.

How much of a slap in the face was it when Wilder and Haymon only paid this coward 500K?

Now crawl back into your hole. Haha.

Delusional!!
