Takes some massive balls to make this a PPV

They are out of their minds making this a PPV. I haven't seen one person excited about this fight.

Coming off losses doesn't prevent a fight from being on PPV. For example, both Joshua and Wilder can be coming off losses, but that is a PPV fight regardless. But this one right here has no business being on PPV. They could be coming off multiple wins in a row and this is regular FOX fight. Nothing more, nothing less.

Yeah but AJ was having an immediate rematch in a big fight. So it's very different. Arreola has been shot for some time, and wasn't even decent in his prime. Ruiz just hit the lottery but failed to do it again, so he isn't even a PPV fighter. This is a sham if i'm being honest.

I don't have a problem with the fight though. Ruiz is coming off a loss and has been out for a long time. He needs the rounds to get back into the swing of things. And i'm not paying for it, so it's no biggie for me really.

I would have considered $19.99 because i spend that on a burger & beer at the bar but if it is $49.95? F*** Off! I always liked Arreola & don’t mind Ruiz but not paying $50 because I don’t watch any divisions other than HW. No interest in catch weights & weight drained BS... i would have been happier with a couple other HW fights then maybe they would get my money.

What, you don't watch any fights below Heavyweight? Really???

I like Andy and hope this sells well so he can get paid.

But this isn't a PPV quality fight. Haymon obviously doesn't know what the hell he's doing, this is why PBC has had trouble getting any new stars to emerge from it's roster.

I'm saying both Joshua and Wilder can come off losses but that fight would still be on PPV and would do well. I didn't bring up Ruiz or say Joshua shouldn't have been on PPV in a rematch after his loss. I made a general statement there.

A semi prime Arreola would have been a good fight.

[JTfloyd]

I'm interested to see if Ruiz actually got in decent shape. Either way, hope they reinforce the ring for this one.

I’m not fond of harmony fights. It’s TOO easy to see whose SUPPOSED to win.

What is the selling point here ?

Well AJ can come off a loss and be in a PPV fight because he's a big PPV fighter. Wilder, not so much. Neither Ruiz or Arreola are PPV fighters at the best of times. Most certainly not while one is shot and coming off a loss with the other one coming off a loss and showing he hit the lottery once, but definitely not twice.
