SA Paid $40M Site Fee For Ruiz vs Joshua II

[Ray*]

Doesn't seem like he will get more than 9-10M or whatever his set purse was for the rematch.

This should be in primetime in the UK though and should do over 2M PPV buys. After Sky Box Office gets its cut and the distributors, Joshua should see at least 20M or so of that money as well.

I don't know how much DAZN will pay for the fight, but Joshua should be clearing 45-50M for the rematch.

With the site fee $40m, DAZN showing it in America, sky showing it on PPV over in the UK, I would shocked if AJ doesn’t clear 50m.

Yeah, 50M may have been too conservative. I just don't know the percentage he gets from the Sky Box Office PPV buys.

But may be able to approach 60M or so if he gets to keep majority of the PPV money.

DAZN may only pay 8-10M for the fight though because it will be in the afternoon going up against the SEC championship game. It won't be doing all that great numbers in America. Could do well in the European countries though.

But it will make up for it with the insane site fee and the UK PPV money.

It sounds bad but I'm sure Andy will walk away from this Event a lot richer than before. This is a man that was on the Shelf with Bob Arum with Lawyer Feels piling up on him and no money coming in so I'm sure he is total fine with his current situation and is about to go in to this fight getting at least 8 Figures

More motivation for him actually, if he He win this fight again then the world is his and money really won't be a issue

[Henniger]

AJ's cash out fight.

Pretty sure Ruiz will clear north of double what he made in the 1st fight

I agree, at the least 50 mill.

Thats what I'm saying. Between Ruiz making more than double what he made in the 1st fight (assuming) and AJ making close, if not more than 50 mill, the fight is ALREADY a success. Might even be a trilogy if the rematch is a good one, obviously with AJ winning.

How does the site fee get cut. Either way Joshua getting a nice bump in pay for this. I wonder how much Eddie takes doe.

Sources tell @TheAthleticBOX that Eddie Hearn secured a site fee in excess of $40 million to bring Andy Ruiz-Anthony Joshua 2 to Saudi Arabia. Ruiz’s purse was set in the rematch clause, — a fixed guarantee — so he won’t see any of that money, but he does get his neutral site

My understanding is that Anthony Joshua is on a 80/20 Joshua share of the proceeds, ie Hearn and Joshua budget the event, Matchroom Sport puts on all the bells and whistles for the show, Matchroom Sport deducts all of the expenses (I'm assuming Joshua has some small guarantee written into the aggreement), and Hearn takes 20% of whatever is left as profit for the event, with Joshua taking the rest.

Saudis pay 50 to host, DAZN pays 50 for the US rights (Sky Box Office has its own math, so will ignore it for now), the remaining miscellaneous comes to.

Matchroom Sport stages the event and pays everything else for (10), less the take leaves Matchroom Sport with 20 and Joshua with 80, plus the UK amount.

SA has gold toilets. My cousin's friend, who she went to college with, is a member of the royal family. When I met her, she was talking on 24k gold Iphone. Them mofos got MONEY!

Saudis Arabia is a petrostate that's not running out of the stuff any time soon, and can get their oil to market at basically $15 a barrel, lol.

The sad part is that that's about it for Saudi Arabia

F#ck if this is correct. Yea see this is why Joshua needs to be running his own ship. Thats a lot of mfing money to promote a guy who don't need a promoter. Hope you are wrong.

Truth be told, they need to get AJ all the money that they can. Because a loss would be devastating to his career.

Andy vs. Joshua II: Desert Storm

The ring card girls will be dressed as belly dancers

"Sweet Caroline" will be replaced by prayers to Allah

It's Saudi Arabia. Understand that point.

You'll likely see white tunics with the bespecaled head scarf, and there will be breaks to pray (multiple depending on the time of the event).

Folks are gonna trip
