Lubin – the visiting southpaw from Orlando, Florida – expected Ortiz to get the local edge but wasn’t keen on his likeness not appearing anywhere on the piece of promo material in his possession. As much was expressed when he ripped it in half while sharing his final thoughts.
“I do want to say this poster is a little disrespectful to me and my team,” Lubin said during a kickoff press conference Tuesday at Texas Live! in nearby Arlington, Texas. “They got me somewhere in the dark somewhere. They have Vergil as something like the moon, all over me and stuff like that.
“This is disrespectful, I don’t like it. This is disrespectful to me and my brand.”
To their credit, Ortiz and Golden Boy Promotions’ chairman and CEO Oscar De La Hoya both sympathized with Lubin’s discomfort.
“I didn’t make the poster,” Ortiz quipped in return, a sentiment echoed by his Hall of Fame promoter.
