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

[Robbie Barrett]

We can go back and forth on this matter buddy but you know what the end result of all this is Joshua seems know to be fighting Ruiz which is not a good look for him.Joshua will look even more like a fighter who picks easy fights.

The top 4 or 5 HW's being too cowardly to fight him is actually a great look. The most feared man in boxing.

We really don't know if hearn is telling the truth and on top of that who knows what kind of shady details where put into that contract so at this point are opinions means nothing

Yeah when all else fails, Eddie's probably lying...pathetic argument pal

[Rip Chudd]

I was just watching this video on youtube. Ortiz has a trash team behind him, I'd fire them all and take the fight

You lost me at 'where' and 'are'.

Get back to school.

Quiet possibly the ugliest sweater I've ever seen

I thought it was ortiz’s Promoter( Dade) who turned it down and Ortiz was mad about it???

[Boxing Goat]

Eddie Hearn Has Now Confirmed Luis Ortiz's Team Turned Down Over $7mil For The Anthony Joshua Fight on June 1st: [@IFLTV] First offer: $6million Second offer: $7million plus PPV revenue.

But boogeyman doe.

Yeah, if that is indeed true, that was a big mistake.
Of course, Ortiz didn't turn down the fight himself. It's been said in media that he was on holiday and he didn't even know a negotiation was under way.

[GhostofDempsey]

I would really like to hear from Ortiz himself as to why he turned down the offer. Something doesn't sit right with this whole mess. One has to suspect he may not be able to pass a drug test on short notice, that is the only reason I can think of, but then why insist on $10M to fight? What if they would have called that bluff?

[Eff Pandas]

what a dumbasss he'll never get a payday in boxing that big again and on top of that ortiz is like 45yrs old he has like 2 years left maybe

I keep hearing Hearn mentioning Ortiz for next or on the short list for next. Idk if that stance has changed with Hearn confirming the rumor of $7M+.

I think Hearn knows Ortiz got f#cked for June 1 by his promoter who seemingly was only paying Ortiz $5M of the $7M & likely even his manager (that Jay guy) & isn't opposed to giving him another offer once Ortiz & his team has figured sh^t out. And cuz of that he's not sh^tting on Ortiz forever to punish Ortiz's business people. But I guess that'll be further clarified soon. I just know videos from yesterday seem like Ortiz will still be considered for the next fight post-June.

This don't seem to be about Haymon at all that I can see thus far, but as people keep claiming. I'll be curious to see if Haymon's name is on any of these emails or certified mail offer details that were offered to Team Ortiz that Eddie will be releasing.

eddie hearn, the man who has been called a lowballer, by several fighers spanning a few divisions is telling us something so its gospel! lol

hearn the guy who offered wilder 3x less than his network boss did months earlier is the truth teller and isn't lying!

everyone is ducking AJ! hes fighting jarrell millers, andy ruiz, washed up 40 year old povetkins and joe parkers....everyone just scared! hes taking on the real challenges!

lol...meanwhile wilder fought Ortiz and fury back to back and tried to get immediate rematch with fury!
