Purse
After a one-year hiatus, Andy Ruiz Jr. is set to return to the ring on September 4, 2022. He will face the formidable Luis Ortiz at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. In addition, the venue will also see several notable names on the undercard. The California State Athletic Commission recently revealed the contract purses for all fighters.
Ruiz is reportedly expected to earn $1 million for the 12-round showdown. However, this purse fell far short of what he earned in his second fight against Anthony Joshua, where he earned $9 million.
Meanwhile, Ortiz’s fight purse stands at a whopping $550,000.
The Isaac Cruz vs Eduardo Ramirez showdown will earn them $200,000 and $175,000, respectively. Additionally, Mexican boxer and boxing analyst, Abner Mars, would earn $200,000 for his fight against Miguel Flores.

Kids
Luis Ortiz and his wife, Lisde are blessed with three children during their marriage. Nevertheless, the couple has kept a low profile and has not disclosed many details about their children.
Still, in response to several web pages, his eldest daughter, Lismercides, has an unusual hives and skin condition known as epidermolysis bullosa. Ortiz left Cuba in 2009, shortly after the birth of his daughter, to seek medical treatment elsewhere. After relocating to the United States, he was able to find refuge for his wife, although she was pregnant with the couple’s second and third children at the time.
The 5 family members currently bear the name of the state of California. Before they moved to the United States, they were having trouble making ends meet because Louis’ job didn’t pay enough to run their family, but now that they’re here, they’re doing much better.
