Comments Thread For: Hearn on Joshua-Ruiz II: December 14 in Cardiff is Frontrunner

[champion4ever]

This dispute is going to end up court; Just watch what I tell you. Since when does the champion gets to be told where to fight?

The first fight Andy Ruiz, fought on Eddie Hearn's and Matchroom Sport's terms. He accepted all of their conditions; Including opponent, location, venue and date.

He even accepted short money on a short notice fight. Eddie Hearn has to realize that Anthony Joshua is no longer the champion but Andy Ruiz is. Therefore, he has the right to fight where he damn well pleases.

So it's time for Team Joshua to start respecting and accepting Ruiz' terms as the new champion. Matchroom Sport needs to be reminded that Andy Ruiz doesn't need them. They need him in order to get those belts back.

By the time this dispute is over, chances are all of the title belts will be vacated or stripped. Then Joshua may never see those titles again anyhow.

Hearn now knows that Joshua isn't built for fighting in America. He's too fragile.

Safest way for Hearn to get back control of the belts- Ruiz has no shot to win a decision there. Hope AJ keeps saying he wants to redeem himself at MSG and delivers

Keep dreaming, lol.

You think AJ is dumb, don't you? The fat Mexican has to do it in the UK winter to show he can win without a fluke hook shot.

I don't know how many times Ruiz has said that he's NOT going to the U.K unless Hearn pays him 50 million, which obviously is not going to happen. Yet here's Hearn pushing for the U.K, Stop it already Hearn, Mexico, L.A or New York are your options. You or your boy don't call the shots anymore.

LMAO. He was a VOLUNTARY. AJ didn't need to fight him and he begged for the fight by signing his life away.

Let him renegade on the contract, he would've to retire from boxing and give up all the belts, then lose millions, lol. I doubt Ruiz wants to give up on his new lifestyle and extra million, just to be stubborn. He knows better.

Cardiff in December!

They also need to keep an ambulance with a fat bed for an obese man near the ring for Ruiz.

Why is Hearn still talking like he calls the shots. Ruiz and his camp has said a number of times, Hearn doesn’t call the shots on the venue. He keeps pushing UK like the Cardiff's Principality Stadium where all the advantages would be for Joshua.

Something tells me the rematch probably won’t happen. I don’t believe Ruiz and his camp should agree to fighting in the UK as the current champion unless there is a substantial amount of more money involved than MSG or another US venue. What about Jerry Jones World at Texas stadium? A lot of the Mexican and Hispanic nation would come out to support that fight. If they push the date back to December 21st, that venue is available because the Dallas Cowboys are playing away at Philadelphia on December 22nd.

But I know the UK stadium that Hearn mentioned has a seating capacity of 74,500 and Jerry World seats 65,675. MSG only seats 20,789. I guess that’s the tough part about it. The US stadiums that are in partnership to host boxing events aren’t built with the largest seat capacities in the world. If the US college football stadiums got into the mix of boxing, that would be huge for boxing. Like the Michigan stadium that seats over 110,000, 2nd largest stadium in the world or Penn State the seats the 3rd largest.

20k msg still makes more money off ticket sells then 74k seat principality. Any major u.s stadium or arena will bring in more money from the U.K. counterparts so going come down to if Andy wants to give Joshua home field advantage if the location of fight wasn’t in contract which it seems like it wasn’t if location still being the issue, Hearn prob left that out thinking late replacement would be a cake walk for aj in his U.S debut

Andy hinted at this yesterday at the fight . He said they wanted it in the uk but he wants msg

Ruiz don’t gotta do ****t in uk that bum Joshua has to bring his ass to America if he wants to redeem himself but even that won’t matter cuz Ruiz will make him quit again he should just stay euro level where it’s safe for those bums
