Copp: Ruiz wants more than $9 mil or he won't fight in Saudi Arabia

[Motorcity Cobra]

They are probably covered tbh, court would take future proceeds from Ruiz too and let’s be honest if Joshua has to fight someone else he probably could still make a huge amount?

You'd go to court to force him to fight. Ruiz is asking for money Rahman was trying to get out of the fight. And while he's in court Matchroom #1 money maker isn't fighting either. Can't believe Eddie would risk losing a $100 mil fight over a couple million. That makes no sense.

If they are getting 40 million why should the guy who knocked the other guy out get 9 million??

He signed a contract...and was given life changing money and opportunity. Ruiz has to thinking about the money hes getting, and winning the second fight

When you sign a contract stating the opponent gets to choose location, then you signed a contract to fight anywhere the opponent damn wants. WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT THAT? You idiots have been having problems with this simple **** for months. FFS.

have you seen the contract?

please send me a link of it

I think if Hearn has decent lawyers which you would think he does then the contract would be watertight.

I can respect that! Well said!

I think if Hearn has decent lawyers which you would think he does then the contract would be watertight.

However, Ruiz still reserve the right to appeal that court injunction also by getting it overturned.

[Mooshashi]

when did he sign a contract agreeing to fight in saudi arabia?

You mean you haven't read the contract? Everyone on the Scene has a copy...check your email.

I'm telling you now we going to see the IBF, WBO, IBO belts free pretty soon get ready for 5 different champions

if the contract was a for a rematch (determined places were already the UK/USA) and someone from saudi is offering HIGH MONEY to stage the fight there.....

wouldn't BOTH fighters require getting an up in pay?

Why does it seem like only AJ is getting a pay boost while Ruiz has to "stick to the contract"?

That is highly unfair especially when Ruiz already beat AJ for his belts

its fair. Ruiz wasn’t supposed to get the title shot In The first place. He agreed to AJ picking the venue. He had to in Order to get the fight or Michael hunter would have got it. He had zero leverage and signed away.

[Fanofreason]

AJ and Ruiz both have set amounts.

Hearn is trying to bump AJs pay and not Ruiz’s.

Hearn going down in court bad. Straight up fraud.

[Laligalaliga]

Yeah please do that and let it drag on for several months or even years. That's playing right into the PBC's hands.

They want to challenge the legality of this rematch clause in court anyhow. They believe it's unenforceable and non-binding to begin with.

This way they can prolong and delay the rematch for as long as they can in order to set up the undisputed bout between Wilder vs Ruiz; Early next year. That way Joshua would never get those belts back again.

Lolx.....are you this dumb? And you think Ruiz can fight while case is in court?
