Among the packages recently presented to Ortiz was a proposed deal with Matchroom, who would serve as lead promoter for the targeted April 18 clash. Per the three-fight agreement, Ortiz could stand to make as much as $20,000,000.


“Undeterred, many promotors reached out to VO, through Mr. Mirigian, seeking to sign VO to promotional agreements of various structures,” the complaint read. “For example, Ortiz was offered a three-bout agreement from Matchroom Boxing that included the April 18, 2026 bout against Mr. Ennis referenced in GBP’s Motion. Although VO’s exact compensation under that offer is dependent on the outcome and economic performance of the bouts, VO would receive at least twelve million dollars ($12,000,000).

“However, given Matchroom’s projections for the economics of the offered bouts, it is likely that VO’s earnings would approach twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) for the three fights. VO was also offered another three-bout deal by a different promoter that guaranteed him sixteen million dollars ($16,000,000), plus upside based on ticket and pay-per-view sales of the bouts. But for the Court issuing the TRO on February 13, 2026, one of those agreements would likely already be signed.

All this over Ortiz getting an avg $6.5m a fight for 3 fights in the best case scenario is kind of eye opening. How much has dude been making this whole time.
I want the Boots v. Ortiz fight to go down but I don't know what the argument would be against Oscar blocking it. Turki moved on because Boots was stalling so Oscar losing his only means to finance his fighter for the fight wasn't even his fault . The outcome will be interesting, can fighters get out of their deals when their promoter hits a roadblock instead of getting shelved? It benefits the fighter but can create scenarios where fighters regularly get poached for better opportunities

they have to prove in court some sort of breach in their contract occurred in order to get out of their deal. Or they buy themselves out (if possible)
