Which, why would he want to do that instead of fighting a guy he just beat for more $ than last time?
I agree it makes zero sense for Ruiz to turn down a rematch.
I was just answering a question on of he'd be stripped
More money in an AJ rematch, besides if he doesn't he loses the belts. He needs to play hard ball to keep the rematch in the US which will get more $$, preferably vegas. He will probably lose the IBF anyway if they call the mando
No it does not mean Ruiz would lose the belts by passing on the rematch.
It just means he would be in breach of contract. He would probably lose millions in a lengthy lawsuit.
Should just make the fight in Vegas then.
NY has bad memories for AJ.
Mexico won't work because AJ will be giving up major home field advante.
UK won't work for obvious reasons.
Just settle on Vegas...the place to make a supefight anyway.
A neutral site in Germany or Canada
Hearn would hit him with a final injunction in court and force the fight on him where the sanctioning bodies would strip him if he doesn't fight AJ. A Permanent injunction would stop Ruiz from fighting anyone else.
I don't know if you understand how most contracts in this sport are worded. But the general rule of thumb for failing to meet a rematch is compensatory damages of 2.5 times the agreed upon initial contract
Failing to meet the contract and be tied up to Hearns terms would force the bodies to not only fine Ruiz but lose a belt if not all of them .There is no set amount or percentage you are making things up with this alt. How it works is Ruiz would have pay out whatever revenue he is costing Joshua for holding him up and I promise you its a hefty cost and could be fined by the day if a judge decides to hit Ruiz with that on a civil lawsuit .
Standard rule of thumb.
2.5 times compensatory damages.
Joshua was scheduled to make I believe 32 million dollars. Which would be a judgement of 80 million.
Ruiz could only be stripped of he failed to meet a mandatory challenger during this time.
Not facing Joshua will not be justification to strip Ruiz unless he is named as mandatory.
But it would be enough to bankrupt Ruiz.
I'm sure Ruiz is not trying to duck Joshua. I believe he is just not wanting the fight in the UK
Can you please state any rule by any of the organizations that would mandate giving back the titles for not fighting a nonmandated fighter?
Ruiz would be in breach of contract and it would cost him millions but he would not be stripped.
Is Absolutely zero chance.
Canelo is in his prime and is ridiculously well developed. Speed, power, combos, counterpunching, head movement, defense are all very high level and his chin is granite. On top of that his ring iq is well developed.
Only way he loses is at 175 if he moves up with no catchweights. There he gets slaughtered other then that he wont lose.
No fighter is ever unbeatable
Off days, injuries and just bad luck has happened to the best fighters
He got dropped by this Rivas guy.
Anyone can outbox Wilder so if he can last 12 he'll win. But idk that he can last 12 is the thing. Whyte's defense isn't anything special. His boxing ain't even that good, he's been touch & go with Del Boy in 2 fights & Del Boy isn't exactly known as a great boxer himself. So I just don't see Whyte being likely to upset the apple cart here. Its a 70/30 Wilder fight & almost everyone has a 20% chance to beat Wilder cuz he's so wild.
Great post. 100% accurate
