Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz's Trainer Voices Frustration Over Joshua Venue Reveal

[Oregonian]

Andy deserves the lions share. He earned it. Him getting paid peanuts and owning the belts is humiliating and unfair. To win the biggest prize in sports and not allowed to benefit is perverse BS. Get your $50 mil and go to the UK Andy, like you said you would. Stand by your guns and don't be like other people we know.

Let’s talk numbers - why do you think AJ gets paid millions? He fills stadium in Europe. He can fight in Europe all his career and make million dollar paydays.

I love that Ruiz beat AJ but to say he is a household name that can generate millions on his own is to show you don’t know jack squat about the business of boxing.

If Wladimir was to come back and get a chance to fight Ruiz, it would never be an even split. That’s just a fact.

I don't think you know how contracts work.

I guarantee I have written more contracts and signed more than anyone on this board combined.

Pay has to be set among both parties for a US fight rematch clause.

It’s a US contract cause 1st fight took place in NYC.

This is a dumb question. Not clowning. Could Ruiz officially retire, drop the titles, and then fight Wilder for more money as the "uncrowned champion" a year and a half later. Then eventually fight Joshua since Joshua needs the rematch and he doesn't? Pardon my ignorance.

The most Hearn could sue Ruiz for, is his pay in fight 1.

This fight is not happening. Haymon kills Hearn in court.

I know the end game PBC is looking for.

why didn't they agree to fight in Macau or Tokyo? Would've been a lot less controversy and it's definitely more neutral than Wahhabi hellhole Saudi Arabia.

Wilder and making more money don't go together . If Ruiz left the sport he would go bankrupt with all the utilities he has acquired since the Joshua win.

AJ doesn't need the rematch he generates millions with anyone and if Ruiz chooses not to fight him he will have titles taking away with a civil.lawsuit because he has a signed live contract he agreed to .

Court does not have power to vacate titles.

Quit making stuff up.

Why are they making such a big deal of fighting in saudi. it's a nuetral location if the money's there go make the fight. FYI for some of the ignorant westerners Saudi is a religious country so who cares about them being anti LGBT it goes against all abrahamic religions morals. Now they are lacking behind most other ****** countries with women's rights but theyre slowly getting there .

People have been hiding behind religion to commit every kind of atrocity from genocide to slavery to female mutilation. Saying it’s your religion doesn’t make it ok.

lol yeah Saudi Arabia is considered one of the world's most repressive regimes simply because of their backwards views on LGBT and women. Not that they brutally crush any form of dissent, including hacking up journalists and putting teenagers to death:

CNN reports that the prosecutors want to “impose the harshest form of the death penalty, which may include crucifixion or dismemberment after execution.”

not to mention the attrocities they are committing in Yemen, that even Western powers that drool at the thought of these Saudi savages purchasing more of their weapons, are considering banning weapons sales to them (not gonna happen).

Here's a joke, Saudi money can buy anything, even to become head of UN human rights lmao

they can also blackmail the UN into removing them as Child killers:
