Jarrell Miller: "Anthony Joshua getting $75 million for Ruiz 2 fight in Saudi Arabia"

True but if he loses again he has agreed to become a eunuch and serve the Saudi Royal family. He is risking a lot for that big check.

This shouldn't be a surprise at all to anyone paying attention, Joshua was making $25-$30M for the first Ruiz fight which wasn't a big fight at all. Since he lost the rematch was always going to be a much bigger fight, easily double the interest worldwide, probably a lot more. Add in $40-$50M in S.A. site fee, plus an opponent who was signed to a flat fee rematch clause you have a situation where this will probably be the biggest possible payday for Joshua. Yeah, Wilder or Fury vs Joshua could be a bigger fight, but will it have a $40M site fee kicked in, probably not, will Joshua be getting 80%+ split, absolutely no way.

No different to previous cross over stars, why do you all of a sudden care what the opponents make? Is it because now the A side is a brit? Did you care about Shane Mosley's or Juan Manuel Marquez's purse when they fought Floyd or Manny? Or Tim Bradeys? Did you care when Floyd took 33% against Oscar? Despite being the p4p #1 Wilder's decision making was idiotic, at best. Hes trying to win a PR war , the kid is not smart. Because fair value is fair value. Whether he deserved it or not, "Big Baby" Miller was set to get $6.5m to fight, so $6.5m became the number. Ruiz basically got fair value, so him taking the shot made sense. Ruiz was more than down to do the rematch, until he saw that the live gate money went from $5m to $45m (or whatever the actual bag is) and made sure that he's getting a piece of that extra bump too. $6.5m turns to $10m for the rematch, and Ruiz is happy to show up and eat Snickers again. Wilder is a different animal, and everyone seems to know and understand this, except for Hearn/Joshua and their fans. Joshua stepped on his banana peel (after underwhelming in his US invasion), and Wilder's profile continues to grow as he keeps holding up his end of things. Lol

I still don't see the issue. Ruiz couldn't have even dreamed of this kind of money. He's getting it because Joshua brings it to the table. He could refuse and fight for parity elsewhere, but he's taking home less. If he beats Joshua again, he's massive! Same goes for Wilder. If you want that money, just go and beat Joshua a couple of times. As for whether AJ is getting $75M... I wouldn't have thought Miller had any kind of inside line but it's probably not far wrong. He didn't become less of a draw in defeat - I think it did the opposite. The world can't wait to see if he can recapture the belts. Only issue is that it's not the same for Wilder; Wilder-Joshua, in a fight for the first true undisputed, lineal heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis, in a fight between two massive, carved up, big punch heavyweights with charisma, who both speak English, is an absolute monster of a fight. Floyd and Oscar split $90m, Floyd and Canelo basically split $100m, and Floyd and Top Rank split $400m+. With Sky Box Office bringing what it brings now, the now seen current maximum value a marquee fight could see in Las Vegas, and a current PPV ceiling of 4.5 million homes, the market is there to happily pass on $40m if you trust the process. The world has **** to do with it, tbh; Saudi Arabia paying $50m to host an event with their oil money to throw a shroud over the carnage that they've brought to the world is the only change here. Don't fool yourself

Come on Miller, stop being a Big Baby about it. It's not about whether it's $7 million or $75 million. It's about the next time the Saudis destroy office buildings or beloved national landmarks with planes, or gang up and slash a journalist to pieces in their own embassy and leave him dead for his fiance to bury. When it happens, people will say, "But what about that Joshua-Diaz 2 fight! That was a GOOD ONE!!" A memorable fight? Priceless! Dont forget equal rights for women and gays and what ever else you can fake cry about.

BS... If there’s one person you wouldn’t believe it’s Jarrell Miller. The guy swore on his children he was innocent...

Thats sounds like an over the top amount. I would find it hard to believe but hearing about the amounts of money they have thrown at other things its not that crazy of a call by Miller. These Saudis splash that cash like nobody else in the world.

Joshua is so soft, I am looking forward to an early round stoppage by Andy, who will come into this fight in better shape, throwing bombs and knocking Joshua back with those quick hands all night before he lands the big right hand followed up by some combinations that will send Joshua DOWN to the canvas again and shake his butt up. Let's Go Any Ruiz!! Mexican American Champ!!!

Big PED Miller is jealous of other boxer money? Why taking steroids and throwing your chance to be the cash cow away? Eddie Hearn is making some money for his boxers. War Eddie!

Whatever the case...Big Baby...you aren't getting any of it.

The fight is in SA for one reason only - MONEY. What do you think he would get? 50M? LMAO. I would not be shocked if AJ is getting close to 100M. ... They couldn't fight in the UK, tbh; because of low temperatures... ... and I never care about the huge money that other people are making... :)

SA is paying WWE half a billion for 2 shows a year for the next 10 years so that number is believable. More than Wilders earned his whole career in one night. That's only 25 mil per show. There's not a lot of profit in that after paying the roster plus transport logistics.

Sometimes you got to ignore certain posters, especially when they keep banging on about the reasons for Wilder ducking Joshua.

Miller is likely full of ****, but a point like that is why Wilder isn't fighting Joshua on DAZN any time soon. Ruiz gets stiffed on the money, sees his purse for the rematch go from $6m to $8m, and likely still ends up in a situation where Joshua is making tenfold what he's making, lol.

Thoughts on this.... Is Joshua purse really $75 million????? I remember hearing it was insanely high but this is wild. That beats Canelo/DAZN money. shqipe.. He may not be getting $75 million but he surely ain't getting far off that. Otherwise they would have done the fight in the States or in the UK. Canelo only get's paid big when he fights GGG on PPV (i think again JCC Jr he may have done well also). He wouldn't have got paid comparatively that much with the Liam Smith, Amir Khan, other fights.. Canelo's contract with DAZN is fantastic if/when he realizes the 10 or 11 fights.

Miller is a crackhead.
