Ruiz is the A side confirmed

Who cares as long as they fight again. I don't see why this would be so important that people debate about everyday.

Coppinger just reported they got in excess of 40million for site fees. And Ruiz's purse is fixed to sub 10million in the contract. So this will be a huge payday for AJ. Yeah I think hearing those guys out is what put a delay on the announcement/decision. That kind of money has turned Hearns/AJ's head.

It keeps Ruiz sweet. But I think they've followed the money. Coppinger just reported they got in excess of 40million for site fees. And Ruiz's purse is fixed to sub 10million in the contract. So this will be a huge payday for AJ.

It's quite clear that Ruiz's wish NOT to have it in the UK was granted. Hearn and Sky clearly had Cardiff as their #1 choice. It keeps Ruiz sweet. But I think they've followed the money.

the only thing that matters is who wins next.

Are you implying that A sides dont put rematch clauses in their contracts? This right here is the answer to all the assumptions No, the A side is THE ONE making the other guy sign a rematch clause. The A side then has the option to exercise his rematch clause . Like what happened in the Hamed-MAB fight. They made MAB sign a rematch clause . Then Hamed chickened out . I can't believe I have to explain that .

wrong. not in the contract lol

Joshua is clearly the A side, always was. People wanted to argue that Ruiz had a say, but he didn't. The fight has gone to SA because it makes a ton of money there. If it wasn't in SA, it would of been in Cardiff. And if reports are to be believed, Joshua will be getting the huge slice of that ton of money while Ruiz gets what he agreed to when he signed the rematch clause. Hearn and Joshua always had the venue and £ on their side. But it's not as if Ruiz is doing badly. He didn't want to go to the UK, and now he's not. He made a nice purse in the first fight, and now he's making another nice purse..better than he'll get elsewhere. And if he wins, like many believe he will, then he'll have another big fight against Wilder, Fury..whoever he wants. It's quite clear that Ruiz's wish NOT to have it in the UK was granted. Hearn and Sky clearly had Cardiff as their #1 choice.

I'm sure Ruiz was dying to go to Saudi :lol1:

If he was the A side the fight would be happening in Vegas or Mexico :dunno: & not in a Muslim country that will support their Islamic brother AJ

I meant that if Joshua won Andy wouldn't get a rematch because he was and still is the B side. That was all Gotcha :beerchug:

By the time Ruiz is finished with him AJ will be the D side too mentally broken to ever set foot in a boxing ring again.

I don’t know who the fugh A side or B side is What I do know is AJ will get snickered in Saudi Arabia So much for any sides , same result

this is one of the stupidest topics i've ever seen. and i've seen some dumb ****.

huh? you cant put in a rematch clause AFTER you lose. Its in the contract, signed by both fighters BEFORE the fight. Or did I confuse your statement altogether? I meant that if Joshua won Andy wouldn't get a rematch because he was and still is the B side. That was all

Only If they lose bro. It's security for the A side huh? you cant put in a rematch clause AFTER you lose. Its in the contract, signed by both fighters BEFORE the fight. Or did I confuse your statement altogether?

*Refused to fight in the UK *Has name first in the banner *Has all the belts on the line -Still not fighting in the US -Fight will air at 11am or some **** -Still making a tenth the money that Joshua is likely set to make. I can't really see it, lol

A side don't sign rematch clauses. Fact. Are you implying that A sides dont put rematch clauses in their contracts? If people want to believe he is the a side that is upto them. Given Joshua is the b side, getting paid a rumoured £70m ($100m) on the back of a loss isn’t bad for himself This right here is the answer to all the assumptions
