Again, hopefully Andy keeps his word.
Haymon being smarter, wealthier, and more powerful than everybody else is what they get off on, not good fights happening in the ring.

Originally posted by LetOutTheCage View PostYeah madness, i'm also unsure why Ruiz is so reluctant to fight in the UK, he already stopped Joshua once, he should be confident he can do the same again.
A lot of US fighters seem to have this mental block about fighting outside the US, as if there is some foreign bias out to get them.

Matchroom/AJ/DAZN will be using the best contract lawyers money can hire, people who are specialists in drawing up fight contracts, with years of experience in the field.
If Ruiz refuses to honour his contract he won't be able to defend his titles or even keep his fee for the first fight until the whole business has been settled in court, and it would very likely go against him, leaving him with no titles, no purse, and a huge legal bill to pay.
BTW, Ruiz walking away from the rematch clause in no way hinders his ability to defend his belts. Only the sanctioning bodies can do that. The only relief a court could offer is financial in the loss that they may sustain by the fight not happening. They have no ability to provide relief to actually make the fight happen. Even the sanctioning bodies would fight AJ/Hearn on that as they possess that control and will not give it up. Filing an injunction to prevent Ruiz from fighting someone else and defending his belts would be likely be laughed out of court.
So why do the rematches happen? Because it's in everyone's financial interest for them to do so. In general a challenger's biggest payoff is going to be the former champion. The sanctioning bodies tend to like it as well (bigger fees for them too!). Fighting AJ again is probably Ruiz' biggest available payday and carries no risk of a long and costly legal dispute over the financial loss AJ/Hearn would suffer if Ruiz didn't give them a rematch. That's why the rematch will happen - it's all about the Benjamins. Where it will happen will depend on how resistant Ruiz is to going to the UK.
