Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz-Anthony Joshua II Confirmed For 12/7, Saudi Arabia

[Bandman]

does the loser get beheaded? i mean this is saudi Arabia after all.

and im sure ring card girls will not be allowed since Saudis execute women for exposing too much ankle.

no alcohol either

Ruiz needs to hire the cartel for protection while he's there.

If it’s politics, then no one should be fighting in America as well with hateful and racist President ruling that country. Trump is a piece of shi..tt.

Black american athletes need to speak out more on injustice and not be fearful of the hit to their bank accounts.

Kaepernick should be the norm, not the exception!

Ok, so it’s on neutral ground. I am liking Andy Ruiz more now. If it was in the U.K. I would lean towards Joshua. But nobody knows what his mental state is after that loss though. We won’t know until after the first few rounds of the rematch. We do know, Andy Ruiz has more time to prepare, is extremely confident, and seems still like the more hungrier fighter. War Ruiz!!!!!

I just looked up some rules & they got a death sentence for drugs & saying your an atheist can get you in some undefined massive situation apparently.

I think you are being more unreasonable than I.

I just wanna know how sh^t differs there. You think SA is just Canada with sand or some sh^t.

yeah, you don't want to overreact to a some human trafficking and little slavery. I mean it isn't like these people were living the good life in the countries they came from anyway.

it's utterly amazing how hypocritical Western Democracies are when it comes to the evil regime of Saudi Arabia. If this fight were to happen to countries that are deemed enemies (Cuba, Iran, DPRK etc..) all the western elites and MSM would be screaming about "human rights abuses" and "lack of democracy". Yet the new Saudi dictator just had a journalist hacked into pieces, they are still chopping heads off of dissidents (even teenagers!), committing genocide in Yemen and there is ample proof that they are the world's biggest funder of Islamic terrorism. Wahhabism is the most backwards and repressive form of Islam, absolutely disgusting that this high profile fight is taking place in Saudi Arabia.

I don’t care for black Americans. They don’t care about us and the feeling is mutual.

My point is: if you think no one should fight in Saudi Arabia due to the government there, isn’t the same applicable to the US and their president?

Ruiz has no say so except he said no to Cardiff and Eddie obeyed

Lol...You believe Ruiz when he said that. So tell me, what would have happen if Eddie said Cardiff, What would Ruiz had done? Take another fight? Tell me.


How about this, SA offered 100 million and it was an offer no one would refuse. Eddie Hearn said on record that Ruiz has no say in the rematch location and that he was just blowing hot air.

Great points.

This whole thing could be a bit of a PR move.

To save face, Eddie is spinning and lying once again by saying that the Saudis have offered more than a $100 mil for the fight. Which I find it very hard to believe. This is just Eddie being plain old Eddie. He is doing this in order to avert a court battle.

If what you are saying is true then why don't Hearn seek a legal remedy against Andy Ruiz, Jr, in order to force him to fight Joshua in Cardiff? He can't because Team Ruiz have a good counter argument and case against Matchroom also which can drag on for several months or even years.

This will be very provable. Saudis have mad money, why would they offer up 100 million. They offer the WWE 100 million dollars for 2 show last year. Beside it will be apart of public record when the bout agreement comes out.

Why would Hearn take Ruiz to court when he didn't break the contract. Let Ruiz break the contract first & Hearn will handle him properly.

I'm no Hearn fans but Ruiz signed a deal knowing what time it is....be a man of your word and honor the rematch clause, which was offered to him as a voluntary.

Who is the US you speak of?

And NO. Saudi Arabia and The U.S are completely different beasts with mostly corrupt and inept leaders in common.

The U.S protects freedom of speech, the other silences it with bone chilling efficacy!
