    How big would Wilder vs Ruiz be?

    If Ruiz beat Joshua in a rematch, he'd cement his superiority being the first Mexican heavyweight champion. Mexicans are the biggest fanbase in America with African Americans being right behind them.

    How big would that fight be? I hear people saying that Wilder lost out on a payday, but a Ruiz fight sounds pretty lucrative to me.

      In Vegas on PPV, they could bring in massive numbers if they promoted it right.

      All boxing fans would watch, plus you have the rabid Mexican fan base. Could even be bigger than AJ/Wilder if they promoted it right.

          If they could beat Canelo to the Mexican holiday slot then it's as big as AJ Wilder for sure

              Wouldn't be big until Ruiz got built up. Casuals had no clue who he was and hardcores didn't care for him. He's gotta be built.

                  I mentioned that it could be bigger than the AJ fight on another forum and got berated by some UK guy.

                      Right on point.

                              If Ruiz wins the rematch and Wilder wins his next two rematches? This fight will be huge.

                              But a long way away from that fight.

                                  Well, if Ortiz beat Wilder, then we'd have a fight between heavy heavy weights, the battle of the bulges

                                      Wonder how many people actually saw the upset in the US and it will do even lower viewership if the rematch is held in the UK.
