Ortiz: Possibly signing a 3 year deal with Hearn

I thought it was with matchroom he was interested in signing with, not dazn.

 

I am surprised Hearn wants Ortiz considering his poor peformances for him last time.

That said, Hearn would have 4 of the top 10 HWs in AJ, Whyte Miller and Ortiz.

 

It'd be good if a couple of the top 10-15 HWs were under one TV station. It would remove a lot of right/financial issues that prevented fights in the past.

 

If that gets him fights with Dillian Whyte and Big Baby Milller and Povetkin and Parker, I think it's fantastic. If not, it's just noise to me.

 

His last fight was against Cojanu, Hearn can't possibly do worse than that.

 

Ortiz never had a contract with Matchroom. He was fighting at a matchroom event, yeah, but not with a longterm contract.

 

Grandpa Ortiz will 60 by the time it expires

 

Cant see that like fight by fight would be more likely; considering his age performances and ped history.
Dont you think hes the exact opposite to the fighters hearn/dazn have been signing?

 

Ye maybee i didnt look at it like that, not sure i agree but a possibility you could be right.

 

True which could make a difference in regards to the opponents Hearn selects for him. Though if I was Ortiz I'd want a contractual guarantee for Joshua or at least one fight that pays over a million. I suspect Hearn wasn't offering such guarantees before as Ortiz was still an unknown quantity to some degree back then and so was hesitant to sign.
