Andy Ruiz has all the leverage

[Mr. 29K]

Why would Andy Ruiz fight for $9 million when he can make more than that?

Why would Andy Ruiz travel to the UK or Saudi Arabia when he can just say no?

What going to happen?

According to the Lewis-Rahman lawsuit over that rematch clause, it looks like the punishment is a year and a half away from boxing.

So what? Andy Ruiz took two years off after he lost to Joseph Parker.

The other part of that would be that the titles all get vacated.

So what?

There isn’t a heavyweight champion right now. Andy Ruiz could just claim to be heavyweight champion like Tyson Fury does. He could just do what Rid**** Bowe did and get announced as being recognized as the best heavyweight in the world and being the former champion.

The other part of the title getting vacated is that Joshua and Hearn don’t want that. They wouldn’t be involved in any title fights after that.

The IBF would order Pulev-Kownacki. The WBA “super” title would disappear and the winner of Charr-Bryan would be the WBA champion. The WBO would order Usyk-Fury.

Ruiz could sit out a year and a half, go to four different champions and say, wanna fight? I want more than $9 million. He’ll probably get it.

Joshua, on the other hand, would have to wait until he’s named mandatory to get a split between 25-35%. He needs the rematch way more than Ruiz does. I think Ruiz might get a bump in pay or a venue swap to avoid going down the legal route.

For the first time, you actually posted something worth reading. Bravo. Green k.

Yay, finally!!!

It’s not a troll. I think Ruiz has all the leverage and I think it might benefit him to walk away from the fight.

You've got to be retarded if you think networks will pay Ruiz more than $9mill without any belts to fight after a 2 year lay off.

[ShaneMosleySr]

I think he would make more than $9 million to fight Wilder at this point.

What leverage does Joshua have in this whole ordeal? He loses a shot at every belt if he doesn’t get Ruiz in the ring.

No.

Because the liability will be 100M$+ and it will be on PBC, Hayman and Ruiz.

[Boksfan]

PBC ****** really support Ruiz vacating belts and retiring? Crazy.

[juggernaut666]

he has AJs belts hostage, thats about it.
this fat lard has no leverage at all.
i can guarantee you he has no capability of selling out an auditorium.

No he doesn't ,he will be stripped and replaced in the event with the IBF leaving him. Ruiz has no pay day without the belts and is legally binded to fight with them against Joshua. The ones who have been arguing this forever on here are idiots.


Ruiz had no leverage signing the initial contract hes not going to have them now with belts knowing the terms haven't changed and leaving the belts hurts himself, how do these guys not under stand this ?

[ralex]

He does have some leverage. Do you think Hearn wants to see Ruiz stripped without BJ getting a chance to win them back?

It was arrogant of Hearn to decide on Saudi Arabia without having all sides on board.

[Boksfan]

Haymon won't pay Ruiz over 9m without a belt and after 2 years suspension, you Haymon trolls have no brains.
