Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I'm More Comfortable With Joshua Rematch in U.S.

[Ray*]

I have read this elsewhere as well. Don't ask for a source because i'm too lazy to try and find it but I did hear that Joshua has the choice of venue in the rematch clause. Ruiz should respect what he signed and knock A.J on his arse in Europe! Forget the judges, once he tags Joshua with a good right hand then it will be same old, same old again!

Not sure why Ruiz is that bothered, he beats Joshua again IMHO, all these ref is going to save Joshua is laughable. Would the judges favour Ruiz if the fight goes to a decision? Probably not, but let’s say he fights Wilder next, does the judges or ref favour him over Wilder? Like Luis Ortiz found out, Ruiz would not have the ref/judges or the ring side doctors on his side on a PBC card.

So just turn up and stop Joshua again, whether it’s in Mexico/America again or UK. Do what you have to do.

What does Joshuas stipulations for a agreed upon rematch clause have to do with a Wilder offer who was making a career high 2.1 million at that time and eventually turned down 120 million as opposed to offering a replacement opponent Ruiz who doesn't even have a belt at the time of drawing up the contract with the rematch clause terms that goes WITH the Joshua fight that Ruiz agreed to ? lol

If you had some reading comprehension and common sense you wouldn't be asking such a daft question.. but I'll answer it for you.

All you AJ fans kept saying "take the fight, win and your in control" blah blah blah.. but Whyte spilled the beans on the language in the contract, he called out Eddie Hearn to his face. If you beat Joshua you're not in control and he still wants the lion share of the purse whether he wins, loses or draws..(paraphrasing of course)

120million was for a 4 fight deal.. WHY? Why not just offer him a single fight with a rematch clause? Who make Wilder jump through extra hoops KNOWING it will make it more difficult for him to sign?

And AGAIN, stop pretending to know what the language was in the contract, NOONE knows what the rematch terms dictate.. hell even Hearn isnt sure if he can enforce the location they want.

[Straightener]

I don’t care where the rematch is to be honest just want to see it

Ruiz should be offered double bubble £££ to fight in the Uk ... I’m sure that’s what all this posturing is about

I'm sure the venue is in Joshua rematch clause so Joshua gets to pick if he's smart he'll run it back in America it can help him start the beginning process of becoming global and if he beats Ruiz and deontay in America then boom he's going to be bigger then LeBron Messi and Floyd

I don't think the venue is on a contract, thats nearly impossible. What is possible to be in the contract is WHO picks the venue.

You don’t think a ref like the one in Joshua/Parker would hinder Ruiz?

You signed a contract, honour it you fat ****.

You can kind of tell from the interviews that Hearn is worried that they’ll ignore the contract and take their chances getting sued. He keep saying “Andy knows what he’s signed and he’s a stand up guy”. This says to me that he is hoping rather than knowing that Ruiz will do the honourable thing

[Curtis Harper]

A-Side Andy isn't comfortable with honoring signed and agreed on contracts

[*Makaveli*]

Say the contract states AJ has venue choice and Ruiz refuses and they sue him , Ruiz will be stripped of all belts , then what happens to the belts ? Surely they are split up , so it would make sense for AJ to reach agreement with Ruiz or he has to try and gather all the belts up again ?
