Ruiz Agrees to $10M for Rematch

He’s not getting USA money. He’s getting Mexico Oh for sure. US TV rights will be under $10M, and Mexican TV rights should be far less than that. Apparently Ruiz is some sort of folk hero in Mexico now though, so who knows.

https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/591292/boxing-news-andy-ruiz-jr-agrees-rematch-anthony-joshua-saudi-arabia/ "It’s understood that on Thursday Ruiz received a fresh bout agreement with altered terms that will see him earn a total of around $10m (£8.2m)." This seems surprisingly low. If AJ is getting $50M+, you would think Ruiz and his team would be able to squeeze out at least $15M.That really makes me mad. I was already hoping for Ruiz to win by KO again but only paying him 10 million to AJ's 50 million when he is the champion makes me pray for a Ruiz victory even more.

Good point. Even though it will be an afternoon fight (EST), should still be worth a couple million. He’s not getting USA money. He’s getting Mexico

Close fight that AJ wins scenario, think AJ would give him a third? Maybe he can get some paydays. But sometimes guys avoid dangerous guys like him if he didn't have the belts anymore which could be an issue. i think there should be a third even if aj ices him in 2 rounds. i love rubber matches but i dont think hearn would do it too much risk maybe when ruiz is old like klit/brewster 2

Lol that's right Ruiz you squeeze every dollar u can because you're short time in the spotlight will end soon.you will see a non fixed fight in the rematch easy win for Joshua

Do you honestly think Wilder will fight Ruiz with nothing at stake? If he loses the rematch, the only way he’s going to make decent money is to sign with DAZN. Andy Ruiz Junior would be a good opponent for Wilder, and if he was to blast him out? It would just look even better for Wilder.

The 10 mill is guaranteed but it was reported that he also has some TV money coming in later. Good point. Even though it will be an afternoon fight (EST), should still be worth a couple million.

Regardless of the outcome of the rematch, Ruiz is set for life. He can fight Wilder or Fury. He can fight a Whyte or even a Povetkin. He can fight young up and coming unbeaten prospects trying to build their name up. He'll be getting great or very good paydays from now on. Yes that is what I am stating, there are big opportunities for him out there. I think Anthony Joshua will beat him in the rematch, but I would not be surprised if a third fight happens down the line. Deontay Wilder seems eager to fight Ruiz Junior also. With Ruiz Junior have a Mexican american fan base, in the boxing business this makes him a very attractive dance partner 'And I have not even Factored in his fighting style'. He has nothing to lose again in this rematch, and for as long as the fights lasts? I think he will be making it very competitive.

Did he get $10 Million or is he being sued? Which one is it exactly right now because this forum is all over the place when it comes to this rematch

What was Ruiz Junior's purse for the first fight? Well Andy Ruiz Junior was a voluntary defense technically for Joshua 'And ether which way Joshua choosing him to fight has changed his life and career'. Even if Ruiz Junior looses the rematch, I can see him in big fights vs Fury/Wilder. Regardless of the outcome of the rematch, Ruiz is set for life. He can fight Wilder or Fury.

He’s willing to risk his life and go to SA with all those tattoos for an extra $1 million before taxes?

So he wasn't happy with 9 million but that one million more made all the difference in the world and he's cool with 10......now when Hearn is suing him. What a coincidence lol.

So he whined about 7.5 andn ow it goes up just a bit to 8.2 ... exceptionally savvy work again US

Pay doesn't seem right considering he won the first fight. That said I think it's in his interests to get an immediate rematch because if he goes 2-0 against Joshua he can sure negotiate a big payday for his next fight. The sooner the rematch is the more it favours him in my opinion.
