Comments Thread For: Wilder Trainer Malik Scott: Andy Ruiz Out-Priced Himself; It Didn't Work; We're Onto Bigger Things

[factsarenice]

Worst thing that ever happened was Ruiz’s camp negotiate a bigger purse than was due for the Joshua rematch. Once they successfully did that, he feels he can do that every fight. It’s not just wilder camp saying he’s overpricing himself, it’s literally everyone.

If Saudi money wasn't available Wilder would have offered 60/40.

Wilder doesn't fight any more. His cut of nothing is nothing.

its not only wilders camp saying this, literally the entire industry has said Andy keep pricing himself out. Besides, wilder has made $40-50mil. He can afford to be picking in this stage of his career

[chepboxingking]

Bottom line, Andy is a risk and Wilder didn't want to take it. As for "Priced himself out" that's an insult to intelligence. Nobody with a name is going to accept 70/30 for Wilder unless they are cashing out...........nobody

Bro, Andy last ppv did 40k buys!! Wtf are you guys talking about!? Lol. Wilder Vs Ortiz did more than triple that. Wilder last fight vs unknown helenius did 80k, double of Andy Vs a known opponent. Andy doesn’t sell. 30% is enough. I’m sure wilders camp would’ve compromised to maybe 65/35, but no way this should bea any higher.

Even Hearn said he asked for too much to replace Whyte seems like Ruiz's head as blown up crazy since he got lucky in that first AJ fight probably why he didn't train for the 2nd his ego is out of control would of been a good fight though.

No they didn’t. Wilder puts azzses on seats. Ruiz doesn’t. Wilder generates much more revenue than Ruiz.

I'm sorry, but Fury's fans won't be there this time.

They should have did a 60/40 split. I have a feeling that Ruiz had people in his ear pumping up his value. Most likely his dad. While Ruiz was a former champion he was only champ for 6 months whereas Wilder was a champion for 5 years. In the end, that justifies Wilder getting a larger percentage. They both need to fight to stay active. Wilder is older so he doesn’t need to fight as much. Too bad they couldn’t agree on terms because I wanted to see this fight.

The person in his ear is his Advisor Haymon . People say go to PBC fights will get done lol

Wilder is only worth 50%

Nobody has been able to explain why the WBC didn't simply order a purse bid for this fight and make all the "A side B side" bull**** irrelevant. I have to assume the reason they didn't do that is because PBC asked them not to. They couldn't risk Wilder losing before they have a chance to cash him out against AJ.

It's obvious PBC ASKED (lol) them not too. Just like Wilders run with their title, hardly getting mandatorys. Its no coincidence their belts are green. Mauricio likes the colour green lol.

Helenius fight nearly sold out. Almost did 100k ppv buys Vs a total unknown. Ruiz did 40k Vs Ortiz. Wilder Vs Ortiz did more than triple that.

They low balled Ruiz.. Everyone knows this.. I thinking it was 70/30. At least give him 40..

Big George Foreman used to say that a strong boxer with quick hands and some pop is a difficult fight for any big man. Wilder's team are looking for a much lessor risk, 70/30, 60/40 whatever it takes.
