Ruiz vs Joshua II might be on PPV

[Bmore18]

Didn't Pugmire tweet that the Ruiz fight was the last one on his DAZN deal?

Ah got it, so the rematch is his last fight on the current DAZN deal.

Network fanboys rooting for networks rather than fans' benefit. LOL.

Why would fans want this on PPV?

Bizarre this is even a thread, Hearn confirmed in his interview with Chris Mannix the rematch will be on DAZN.

That’s why Hearn would go with the highest bidder. He isn’t a loyal one, showtime would tell you about that too

Showtime isn't going to give him a billion dollars ever; Haymon is as close to Showtime as anyone is, and he was able to get ~$250m for 4 years (would take 15 years to get $1b from Showtime at that rate).

You add that only the first two years of the deal were guaranteed (likely on an escalator with most of the money back-loaded too).

Greed is a mother****er; especially if you've likely got $800m waiting for you to hang around.

The fight is on PPV.

The rematch is not on Dazn guys.

Ruiz won the fight. His promotion dictates network and venue now.

Standard in USA rematch contracts.

This rematch seems completely unnecessary. Joshua got obliterated.

Usually after a beatdown like that you don't need a rematch because you already know who the better fighter is but ok.

It's Joshua's funeral lol

You would be right if it wasn't for the fact that Ruiz' fatass got dropped and almost finished at one point in the fight.

He's got a ton of heart, but it's no given that he will win the rematch against the pharmaceutical machine that is Anthony Joshua.

Referring to Hearn and making deals for his fighters. Nothing to do with a billion pounds or dollars. Hearn would take his fighters to any network that pays the highest money. He loves money, he isn’t some dumb truck who would stick with DAZN for “Loyalty”
