Comments Thread For: Wilder Reacts To Ruiz's 50-50 Demand: You Ain't Nobody Compared To Me, Stop That!

[Bronx2245]

I hear what you're saying Bronx2245, but Wilder demanding a 70/30 split, is just plain disrespectful.
Think about it, would you accept less than half for facing a murderous puncher like Wilder, if you were in Ruiz's shoe's?

Yes, I would! Why? Because 30% of the pie fighting Wilder is worth more than 70% fighting Sanchez, or Pero!

I'm black, but i call it like I see it. Andy Ruiz is someone who has never been knocked out even once, let alone twice like Deontay has been knocked out. And Wilder was brutally knocked out both times, it wasn't just a stoppage, it was like sing his ass a lullaby and count to 300 and he'll still be asleep. So idk how u go from that kind of brain trauma, claiming to have dents in ur skull and sh.t, to being this diva that doesn't wanna treat ppl fairly and over-inflate your own self worth. Its like come on man, humble yourself just a little bit and get off this fake ass high horse. You have been punished severely in the ring and should be thankful just to be back in good health. Treat Andy like the man that he is, and pay him well. So he can climb those ropes and then u can see if u can knock him out like Fury brutally knocked u out twice

Why? Wilder won a title and cherry picked his career there after. Ruiz was a unified champion, beating the divisions no1 at the time. Wilders best win is Ortiz. Oh look. Fat Andy beat him too. Fat Andy fought Joshua twice. Wilder is still trying to find the balls for that one. Wilder probably only deserves 40.

Then what is Andy Ruiz' excuse for not fighting Tyson Fury in September. Team Fury made him an offer as well and he rejected it; Just like he is rejecting Team Wilder's offer.

He wanted Fury to pay him $20Mil also. So obviously Ruiz is broken and his heart is no longer in the hurt business anymore. Which is why he is pricing himself out of these fights.

What you posted would have been true and made a lot of sense if he had rejected Wilder's offer to fight Tyson Fury but he rejected Fury's offer also. So what is the excuse?

wilder says u are not worth 50%, ruiz says ok then ill accept 49%

wilder made a mistake when ruiz called him personally to discuss the split, he said to ruiz think about it like a pizza & its slices, i just want an extra slice than u thats all, because im more high profile than u, thats the way boxing works said wilder, ruiz got really hungry and now wants 100% of the pizza

He should not have used a Pizza analogy with Andy. Andy has never given another person an extra slice of pizza in his life.

he was the first Mexican heavyweight world champion in history.

No he wasn’t. He was born in Imperial, California. I hate when people try to spew fake narratives. He’s got Mexican descent but he’s technically American.

Arguably Ruiz is the second best fighter Wilder will have faced. I rate him better than Ortiz, who I think has been overrated his entire career and is/was a very solid contender, I never saw him as a Champion level fighter. Ruiz’s wildcard is which Ruiz will show up? The out of shape, disinterested one or the zoned in combination throwing, quick handed one? Wilder IMO has one of the worst resumes of a longtime title holder and fought a bulk of his fights (admit he was very active) when Heavyweight was at a very low point in the talent pool and/or the top guys wouldn’t fight each other more recently.

Fat Andy struggled vs Ortiz and Areola, 2 opponents that Wilder destroyed when they were younger and better. I can agree 60/40 is reasonable, but Ruiz has no opportunities to be making this kind of money vs anyone else. As far as getting knocked out by Fury, he also gave Fury his hardest fights to date, and I doubt Ruiz would come anywhere near that vs Fury.

Ruiz fought an older Ortiz and struggled. Ruiz struggled vs an old Chris Areola who Wilder beat up 1 handed.

Ruiz is obese and shows up to fights obese. He doesn't even train yet wants equal pay...sounds like a woman.

Both are clowns...
