He got compensated by PBC to get Ruiz out of that contact but yeah he is salty AF
"Nobody knows Andy Ruiz better than us. Apart from the Joshua fight and the one before, we promoted every one of his fights.
“He’s a gutty guy and he’s got fast hands, but he’s still ponderous on his feet and he doesn’t punch hard. So, I don’t know what the f** was I watching.
“I mean, I just can’t figure it out. I really can’t figure it out. Something was wrong. Something I can’t figure out. I mean unless he was caught off guard."
Eh, I doubt he's losing any sleep.
If Ruiz was still under Top Rank, he wouldn't have got this opportunity thus and wouldn't be champ.
This^^^^^^^^^
If he was still with Top Rank I don't think Arum would of even let Ruiz take this fight on short notice
DAZN: 1
Haymon: 0
Both DAZN and Haymon won in different ways. Haymon because he manages Ruiz and DAZN wins because now Joshua Ruiz 2 is the most anticipated fight of the year. Add in great fights like Canelo vs GGG 3 or Andrade/Sulecki winner, Ramirez vs Hooker, Machado vs Cancio 2, Inoue vs Donaire, Vargas vs Kameda and you know DAZN is killing it right now.
I remember when it happened. Ruiz was so happy he got away from Arum. I’m glad Haymon saved him. He let Ruiz go then went and signed the most boring Heavyweight with drug problems. Arum made a big mistake.
