Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz Sr: Deontay Wilder is a Liar, He Offered 30%, We Want 50-50 Split!

Word is, Deontay is a cheap, selfish MF that want's everything for himself, so no surprise here. That's also why he has an ex 1st round KO victim trainer in Malik Scott, who FO-SHO aint gettin no 10% from that full of excuses rail....

Ruiz doesn't deserve 50%, Wilder is the one with the better PPV numbers. Wilder puts butts on seats whether you like or not, whether if it's to see if he's getting KO'ed or if he's KO'ing his opponent.

I do think it should be 60-40 in favor of Wilder.

60-40 is the correct split based on Andy carrying Mexican fans and being an ex world champion which helps sell the fight - battle of two ex champs etc - brings in casuals

Ruiz is tripping if he thinks he can get 50 percent against Wilder

Ruiz brings the mexican americans who are the only people bringing money into boxing in the US.
He also has the better resume and better acheivements, being a former unified champion.

Wilder is not a ppv star. Wilder vs Fury 2 did 850k ppv buys, only because espn and fox spent over 10m running superbowl weekend ads. that event lost the networks money.

50/50 split would have been fair if this was right after the AJ win. Right now 70/30 is reasonable or maybe 60/40.

What is the sound of one hand clapping?

Just look at their last PPV numbers. They did about the same with Andy fighting a senior citizen vs Wilder fighting a KO artist. Split should be closer if not equal to 50-50.

Why not 50-50?. Wilder s got the Saudi money coming so he isn't short on money. If not 50-50, 60-40 don't seem too bad!
Ruiz best win is better than Wilder s best win, so that would be taken into account.

[Bronx2245]

Whyte/Ruiz would be a fantastic co-main to Wilder/Joshua.

They'd probably both want $10 million apiece, but the Saudis do have it!

Some degree of Mexcan-American fans turn out to support Ruiz. His fights do okay.

Even when he was heavyweight champion, Wilder was an absolute nobody. And I like Wilder. The Fury fights raise his profile, but he's not a bigger draw than Ruiz. There's no logical reason for him to get more money than Ruiz.

OK, let’s settle this once and for all. Let’s do a poll. Let the fans decide who is the more popular fighter; Andy Ruiz or Deontay Wilder? You could post the poll here on NSB.
