It’s all about the coin .... always has been

Whoever pays to go see the fight in Saudi is ******ed

Might be Joshua’s last payday if Ruiz ****s him again

[Roberto Vasquez]

Andy Ruiz is refusing to sign the contract because they're only gonna give him a $9 MILLION cut of the $50 MILLION revenue. The fight might not even happen unless earn with Hearn coughs up some more money for Ruiz.

lol funniest thing ever. Now you're going to see that everything Ruiz said was lies. Anyone with half a brain knows what he signed up to. Ruiz has no say where the rematch is.

Ruiz is not the nice guy everyone was saying he was. He's already lying.

[P4Pdunny]

So much nonsense going on here.

[REDEEMER]

U would think people who come to boxing forums would know about boxing ����

It doesn't ****in matter whether we think fatboy deserves lion share our not, fatboy signed a contract. He needs to know his role and come back on the straight and narrow.

Fast Eddie just held a press conference confirming fight has been signed.

This couldn't be further from the truth though , forums run on uneducated to just thick people that's how forums grow.

That's a lie. AJ ultimately left the decision making to Hearn and McCracken , it won't be surprising if they postpone this fight if A side Andy challenge the contract and it gets moved to the U.K where he further hurts himself .

This is a Ruiz and Joshua fight not a Joshua solo. Your argument works for the first fight but not the second. Ruiz forced the upset and now it's his name that they want back in the ring with Joshua not anyone else.

Can Ruiz make $10 million fighting Arreola?
AJ can make that fighting an Uber driver.

Simple facts

[Sinbad]

Anyone remember when Ali wanted to be a true WORLD champion.
Fighting for the whole world to see.
Didn't he defend his title in Malaysia, Philippines, Indonesia...big ****** countries huh?

Idk, I think you're underestimating Ruiz' value here. He is the champ. He is the guy who lit the HW division (and the entire sport) on fire with his upset win. The AJ-Ruiz fight was bigger than any of AJ's previous fights (even the Wlad fight) because it got 1000x more attention in the days and weeks after than any of those fights. Hardcore boxing fans are all salivating to see the rematch and so many more casual sports fans are interested as well. I am one of two boxing fans in my office, but everybody, even the old ladies heard about Ruiz' victory. None of those casuals knew who Anthony Joshua was before that fight. The rematch is a big deal, much bigger than the first fight, and Ruiz is not just the no-name opponent this time out.

I get your point. Here’s the difference:
AJ is a mega star in Europe. Casual fans in the US didn’t know him and didn’t know Ruiz either.

Ruiz will NEVER make the kind of money AJ commands.

To prove my point, Wladimir Made way more money fighting in Europe than the US that’s why he never bothered coming here.
Very few American boxers command that kind of crowd pull plus money.
Floyd is actually the last one. Oscar and Canelo had/have the Mexican crowd’s support.

If Ruiz gets beat by AJ he will be forgotten as fast as we forgot about Buster Douglas.

I like Ruiz and I hope he beats AJ.
