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

[james240]

That was in America.

Exactly imagine the UK.

If he suffers an "injury," he won't get sued.

I mean Joshua is in the power position and the rematch will happen, but these are the types of things Ruiz can do to get himself a better deal. Also depends when he has to rematch Joshua. Within what time period does the rematch have to take place?

Ruiz is in the power position, he has the belt, and Joshua is damaged goods without a rematch win.

Ruiz also can go to other networks.

These shenanigans involving Hearn can be argued to demonstrate bad faith in negotiation, and invalidate the contract.

They can at the very least get the venue changed. Especially given the Eddie Hearn was involved in this.

[Weebler I]

Why are UK fans ok with a fighter testing dirty and the other fighter not being informed?

They're not, but UKAD and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) clearly is, which is crazy really.

Bear in mind US heavyweight Tony Thompson benefited from this silence when he fought David Price and the test result wasn't made known for a long time after. I think Fury also fought after failing a test.

It's something that needs to be sorted out, an absolute joke. Hearn is also a villain here, he knew and let it go ahead which is morally wrong even if it isn't legally wrong.

Of course the B sample could exonerate Whyte, but they rarely do.

Set up how?
He would probably be robbed on a DAZN show in the UK or NYC.
Hearn isn’t just going to let Haymon have all the heavyweight straps so he can hold them hostage like Wilder.
If Ruiz is keeping the belts he’ll have to knock AJ out again.
If AJ really was physically or mentally not right then he can show the first fight was a fluke.
I think they’ll give Ruiz some more $$$ and get the fight in the UK.

[IMDAZED]

Hearn’s amazing 2019 continues. What a reality check this year has been for his minions.

[DaNeutral.]

Exactly imagine the UK.

I imagine it would be more fair. Historically the big robberies have come out of the US, biggest ped cheats have come out of the US.

Ya'll merrkans forget all this?

[Fanofreason]

LMAO.

He'll have to retire and end up as a American cleaner after paying all his earnings as damages.

Nope. He has to sit out 10 more months and contract is void.

Learn business.

[Fanofreason]

Bruh, he literally signed a contract to do the rematch in the UK. This could get ugly.

No he did not. Eddie left location blank.

Exactly... Without a negative B sample the Saturday fight has to be a no contest... I'm pretty sure GYM lawyers are already on the case and ready to push the "Send" button... And there's also that shady Gloves story to deal with... Seriously, Whyte is in deep s-h-i-t if all happen to be true...

[Bobby Deez]

Hearn recently pulled two of his fighters out of fights near the fight date over opponents dirty tests when he didn't have to but he allowed Rivas to go in blind like that? Thems dirty doings my dudes
