Tuesday - Luis Ortiz announces the fight with Anthony Joshua won't happen & accuses Eddie Hearn of "low-balling him". Wednesday - Eddie Hearn threatens to "expose" Luis Ortiz's team on the offer. Friday - Ortiz's team announce it's their fault the AJ fight isn't happening.
I called it days ago. Team Ortiz themselves including the fighter were not directly involved with negotiations and they were getting fed lies cuz the things they were saying didnt really match what Hearn was saying at all and it would only a matter of time before numbers and facts started proving somebody to be liars. But then im a cynic and im convinced this is all bull crap anyway. This is a PBC business move they want to see Hearn, DAZN, Matchroom USA and Joshua struggle and not do well and fail and basically **** off back to England. And this is one of the things they have done, they have not allowed Ortiz to take this fight because it is the best choice for a replacement after Miller and that would be aiding Joshua and they wont do that, at any cost to the fighters in their stable Haymons business decisions take priority. Give Hearn a bit of time and then ask him which was the biggest culture shock about being a British promoter trying to promote in America and he will likely say the intensity of the rivalry between promotional outfits. Him and Warren and a few others have got ugly a few times but it wasnt impossible for them to work together when both sides realize its in all their interests to do it. In America they are prepared to go to any length to **** the other side up, even if it ****s themselves up too.
Eddie Hearn's MATCHROOM fighter blew three drug tests and failed to get a boxing license. Hearn had no backup plan. Instead of going to his own MATCHROOM heavyweights - like Whyte and Usyk - which would mess up Hearn's plans for other cards ... Hearn went asking the other promoters for help. This is Matchroom's mess. To save face, they are pointing the finger at everyone else. If Andy Ruiz - yet another PBC fighter - steps in, FOUR of Joshua's EIGHT title fights will have come against PBC fighters. Also, Wlad wasn't a Matchroom fighter. Parker wasn't, etiher. Everyone works with Hearn. The world didn't jump to bail him out this time, and now THE WORLD is against him. Hearn should put a Matchroom fighter in with Joshua and take care of his own mess. Joshua has been out of the ring for nine months in June. If this fight doesn't happen, Joshua will be out for a year IN HIS PRIME. How much did Joshua LOSE being out of the ring for a YEAR? When does Hearn start taking some of the blame because he doesn't want to mess up his other cards to put in one of his guys against Joshua? At some point Haymon's going to point out to Joshua he's delivered more title fights/challengers to Joshua than Hearn has.
Al Haymon is a cancer to boxing. That statement is so true. And his fighters don’t rebel against him because they are either scared or get unseen benefits from him such as backhanded money and in Wilder’s case, occultic rituals to win fights.
Lol not once have you made team Ortiz responsible it even called them out for their lies. Eddie Hearn lives in your head rent free
This One thing I found interesting was Ortiz Manager talked about rematch terms and mentioned there was no demand for 50/50 if Ortiz won as Ortiz even if he won was in no position to start demanding 50/50 splits. Basically Ortiz was offered double in a rematch. Dillian Whyte should take note!!!
Name a promoter worth his salt who doesn't have a substitute fighter on call ready to go in a big fight if a guy falls out? Hell, Hearn doesn't even have opponents yet for Kell Brook or Callum Smith on the undercard, and Smith is the chief support. It's not Luis Ortiz's job to find an opponent for Joshua. It's not Al Haymon's job to bail him out. It's nobody's job to bail him out. The question is WHO IS JOSHUA FIGHTING JUNE 1? Because you only get one prime. And Anthony Joshua is about to lose a YEAR of his fighting nobody.
Maybe Joshua should dump Hearn and sign with PBC and one of its promoters? PBC fighters don't have problems getting title shots. I'm sure DAZN would sign Joshua to a separate deal, like they did with Canelo and GGG. And they want to talk to Wilder again. Joshua doesn't need Hearn. Joshua could deal with DAZN directly. And Matchroom isn't supplying Joshua with any heavyweight challengers. Sounds like Hearn is the problem. The only Matchroom heavyweight who was getting heavyweight title fights was Joshua. And now even he can't get one. And he's got three belts.
YOU JUST DONT ****ING GET IT, DO YOU......???? Us AJ fans want the Ortizn't fight so that we finally get to hear the deafening silence from all the Wilderettes after Joshua's smashed the Baba Yaga of the Heavyweight division ( laugh my ****ing ass off ) in far more brutal fashion than your boi barely, and I mean barely managed. After all, haven't you Wilderettes been accusing AJ of ducking Ortiz, even though Ortiz U-turned on a potential AJ fight to take the easier WBC route. Oh and just to remind you, AJ has already defeated Whyte by brutal KO, something Wilder is gonna let Whyte wait for the opportunity to do in another 2 years from now. And another thing, P4P, unified champions tend not to take short notice fights and play second fiddle to anybody, but you just keep spinning your BS narrative.
0I’ll fight AJ at any offer they give he afraid of me”... “We know you said you’ll fight for anything but hey here’s 5 million” Quack quack quack.. Ortiz and Bog Booby Miller should both disappear from the sport and never return..
