Comments Thread For: Hearn Sounds Off on Luis Ortiz and His Team Over Joshua Talks

[Deus]

Did Hearn say why he didn't go back to Ortiz after Jimenez said they were misled by the promoter? Was he just upset over the Instagram post? If so, how is that different from all the other times a fighter has refused to negotiate because of personal feelings towards the potential opponents management?

Intrigued by that as well; my presumption is that Jimenez and Dade still could not get on the same page after that... and that Dade themselves have a lot of power over what Ortiz does.

Would Hearn put Joshua in a big fight with four weeks notice? ......NO! Hearn is a utter and complete tosser. Ortiz losers his stock goes right down .He carries on wining with the right fights $7m can soon be banked and more with all these big money guys of today.

[N/A]

Do you think they will offer Ortiz upwards of $6 million for a Wilder rematch after he made 500k for the first one?

Ortiz likely made a lot more than 500k for the Wilder fight. I don't understand how you could still believe that filed purses are a true reflection of total compensation. They are bogus numbers filed to save money on taxes and sanctioning fees.

Whether Ortiz made a million or 1.5 million, he's certainly worth a lot more in the rematch as it would be PPV. I think Wilder vs Ortiz II on PPV can do pretty close to what Wilder vs Fury did, so Haymon would be able to guarantee Ortiz 7 million.

Haymon promised to match the 7 million for a rematch with Wilder.

Would you rather fight Joshua on short notice or fight Wilder with a full camp if the money is the same?

Lolssss... straight BS...7m to Ortiz from 500k??? You just trolling go bury your head in the sand.

Hearns words are absolutely meaningless. Hearn is turning boxing into WWE ****** land soap opera more than anyone.

Dade or Jay.... It doesn’t matter, they didn’t want the fight. Ortiz was already pencilled him for Wilder, the moment Miller failed his test most media outlet said he (Ortiz) wouldn’t be allowed to take the Joshua fight.

So if I was Hearn and Jay told him from day 1 that Ortiz wouldn’t be ready, then put out fake news about offers, why waste anymore time with people like that with 4/5 weeks to go? It’s obvious why they didn’t take the fight. Haymon.....Blaming Dade Promotions or whatever their names are is just reaching.

Ortiz is a ****ing coward! Just like Beyonce Wildher. War Ruiz!

This is so clever and hilarious. I laugh for about 10 minutes non-stop whenever I see you post "Wildher". How did you ever think of that? It's amazing. I think it's the H in "Wildher" that really gets me going.

Maybe you can refer to Ortiz as "Ortshe's"....OMG WOULDNT THAT BE THE FUNNIEST THING EVER? ! WOULDNT IT? NO? WELL IT IS.

f.aggot.

you have no credibility if you take filed purses seriously.

[Ajvar]

what is 4 x 7.5 if it isn't 30?

Another one... what does your calculation has to do with 25% deal scenario? Don't answer.

If you get 25%, then 2nd party gets 75%. Ask your child for more info, maybe he knows math better than you.

Been saying for years guys are trying to take aj for a ride. I always knew it was true but it was confirmed when some of you geniuses were trying to tell me 5mil for Ortiz was a low ball.

When asked how it could be a lowball when he accepted 500k for wilder all sorts of bull**** reasons were flying about. My personal favourite was that his stock had greatly risen which is hilarious considering he hasn’t headlined his own event or earned more than the 500k so how could his stock have risen?

This goes back to something I’ve said a long time ago. Anthony Joshua is not a charitable foundation. Just because he’s getting paid 25-30 million that doesn’t mean you can try ask for 10 mil instead of your usual 500k. How you guys can’t see that’s an absolute pisstake I will never know.

Well said! You would think it's simple common sense but when a lot of fake fans who disregard facts, you're pretty much wasting your time explaining things to them!
