Andy Ruiz smiles: I'm not going to the UK to be set up!!!!!

[mjbjst]

He has no choice. The fight will be where ever AJ says it will be. It's in the contract he signed to get the fight. He won the fight but he is not the A side unless he wins the rematch.

Let them fight in the UK so Ruiz can knock that big robot out in front of his fans

At least he's honest.

These Messicans, for all their bytching about how they're treated in the U.S., need Las Vegas to build their careers.

Canelo, Santa Cruz, Maragrito... Without crooked judges the chances of a Mexican champion in relevant divisions almost evaporates.

Think about it, when do you see Mexicans making waves in other sports? It's a massive country on the border w/ the U.S., they're the largest "minority" in the U.S. But can you name any great Mexican athletes?

Exactly.

In Boxing there's judges, and that gives them an angle for success which team sports and olympic/collegiate sports don't offer.

I'd love that. But his honesty shows his own perception of that happening.

AJ was clearly a fraud. But no one thought him so much a fraud that even Fluffy would expose him.

I like Ruiz's chances in the rematch, but he's only the slightest of a favorite. Close odds.

[KTFOKING]

so what would he get out of delaying it besides delaying his own 10 figure payday lol?

10 figure payday? If Ruiz is getting that he should agree to fight Joshua in his own backyard!!!!

Lol, but I mean just causing a disruption here by delaying it. All he could do is be difficult to either get a better deal or getting the fight back to NY.

Somebody explain to my why Ruiz should trust Hearn enough to go to the UK and fight Joshua after this stunt Hearn just pulled?

I see it playing out pretty much like the first fight unless an lands something huge

Eddie Hearn can't be trusted.

AJ seems pretty chinny. But he won a shoot-out with Wlad. He underestimated Ruiz, and then panicked when he realized what he was up against. He'll be better prepared for the rematch.

that's not to say he won't still get tagged and hurt, but the likelihood of it playing out the same way is very slim.

[Motorcity Cobra]

The main takeaway from all of this is Hearn can't be trusted

shiiiiiieeeettt I meant 8 figure payday. As in 10 mil.

Or be difficult and end up in court spending that money on court fees instead of just honoring his contract and make that 10 mil
