Comments Thread For: Hearn Doesn't Expect IBF To Strip Ruiz Of Its Heavyweight Title

[famicommander]

They just take a discounted sanctioning fee so they can have someone hold a belt on TV.

What a joke.

Name me the other IBO champs.

Julian Williams, Chris Eubank, Kevin Lerena, Tugs Nyambayar, Sven Fornling... all are ranked higher by the TBRB than at least one of the big four champs.

[Oldskoolg]

Let me say this again....THE IBO IS GARBAGE. the only reason you cornballs who splooge over it even know about it is because they latch it on to existing champions. When do you EVER hear of a “championship” fight or UNIFICATION with someone who just had the IBO? GTFOH kids...you been had, hoodwinked, bamboozled, led astray, run amok!

Hearn has been blabbing non-stop about the conditions involved with a possible rematch. But I would like to know what stipulations are in that contract. Because, Ruiz is now the Champ and he doesn't operate under Hearn's Matchroom banner.

Does the contract explicitly state that if Ruiz wins, Hearn who represents Matchroom, would DICTATE what happens next, where and when?

Or does Ruiz (The New Champ) have the option to pursue other choices.

Hearn may be trying to steamroll Ruiz into doing what works for Matchroom and AJ, negating the fact that Ruiz may have no obligation to do what Matchroom wants. Even though the financial rewards may be immediately greater.

I state "immediately" because, believe it or not Ruiz holds all the proper cards. And with good guidance can make a fortune while he holds all the belts.

AJ earned four times what Ruiz made in their fight. Ruiz has every right to demand the lion's share of the purse for a rematch. And if the finances isn't binding per contract, then Hearn\Matchroon can be bent over and plugged good for a 70/30 split in Ruiz's favor.

Just a thought ......

Have a think about it, do you really think as a late replacement being paid 10 or 20 times his career high pay Ruiz really would have been questioning the rematch clause (which Hearn drew up) too closely. I'd think not, he took the massive (for him) money and bet on himself and won, now he has the belts is known around the world and will get another massive life changing payday.

How ****** does Ruiz make Whyte & Ortiz look, this could have been them but they tried to squeeze more money than they were worth and got nothing, Ruiz gambled and hit the jackpot.

Not saying sign for anything, but when it is career high pay multiple times over plus the belts, back yourself.

Hearn is no idiot, be really surprised if they didn't have the rematch clause solid.

Keith Idec = BigPoppaPump. DUMB AS HELL GUY TOO.
1) Povetkin held a duel-tri belt [and you call him a full fledged Ex champion]
2) You bring discredit when you bring 'IBO'.

The funniest line in the story: The IBO doesn’t have mandatory challengers.

Exactly why did AJ parade that joke of a belt around? (Heck, he should have kept it and not defended it against Ruiz so he could claim to still be the champ, lol.)

They're all jokes of belts. Corrupt to the core.
Lineal title is all that matters

[James Hunt]

WBC and WBA are on the same level when it comes to being trash and corrupt. Why single out one?

Because WBC=PBC, and everything connected with PBC is pure gold for certain individuals.

Yup. I expect a lot of "complications" with the rematch but not bcs of the fighters.

I just heard that Hearn has options on Ruiz for 3 fights. This could get interesting with the belts though. If Arum was smart, he would pull a Duva and make a huge stink about getting Pulev a title shot. It was quite disturbing how fast the IBF moved in on Fury. Fury couldn't even climb out the ring without the IBF causing static.

With Arum involved, we can assume the criminal mantra of 'means, opportunity, motive' and think what comes next.

Arum has the means and opportunity to lean on any of the ABCs, just a question of motive. Arum would love nothing more than to manoever one of the belts over to Fury.

According Ryan Burton who writes for this website, says he just read that Hearn has options on Ruiz for the next three fights. But it seems that Hearn is trying to make sure Ruiz doesn't get a voluntary defense if he choses to do so or anything. Hearn wants all those belts back in AJs hands immediately. But Haymon is not going to lie down to Hearn. I think he will make things difficult for Hearn to control everything.

Rematch clause was in contract only way get around that Joshua decides to take another fight before exercising that
