Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I Have Not Signed Anything Yet, I Want Rematch in NY!

[GLeon12]

Are UK fans usually this racist?

I'm surprised, but not surprised how openly racist these AJ supporters are. They literally have zero legs to stand on when throwing out all these verbal spears at Andy. He beat the absolute crap out of Joshua with everything favoring him that night. AJ and his team are completely delusional thinking that he still the main attraction here.

Mexican Nationals, Mexican-Americans, Latinos, Americans, Fat guys everywhere, anybody that has ever been counted and anybody that has ever been an underdog are rooting for Andy. He is a folk legend FOREVER for what he did that night. He will have massive support until the day he retires.

Andy Ruiz has established a diehard fanbase overnight based on what that night symbolized. He will draw millions of viewers for the rematch, just to see him confirm what we already know. AJ's fans turned on him QUICK and only want him to win the rematch because they're embarrassed they talked so much crap about Andy.

Have y'all been asleep? Latin fans keep this sport alive with their unrelenting loyalty and passion for their guy. Andy vs AJ is the ultimate David vs Goliath story. An absolute cinderella story that would be ridiculed as cliche if it were not real.

With all that being said, Eddie Hearn better get his head out of his @ss and realize Anthony Joshua LOST in brutal fashion. He does NOT get to run the whole show now. Once Matchroom allowed a boxer to fight after being found cheating with PEDS, the venue became a MAJOR concern. Hearn should be more concerned about facing criminal charges and/or a civil suit from that. Should he not be suspended as a promoter or investigated for these actions?

I REALLY hope this fight gets signed ASAP in a LOGICAL location (i.e. Vegas, NYC). Keep it out of the courtroom, and please keep it out of Saudia Arabia (idiotic, desperate, unfeasible venue). Hell, why not make it in Sydney Austrailia, or New Zealand? That's a pretty neutral venue, and exotic enough for Matchroom's liking? Or how about Italy? Spain? New York was AJ's welcome to America, suddenly he claims it was to Ruiz's advantage???? WTF kind of remedial logic is that?

Through this whole ordeal, I wish to see Ruiz end AJ once again, then take on the winner of Wilder v Ortiz or Wilder v Fury, depending on how taxing these fights are for the boxers.

Ruiz kicked in the door, and not only sat at the table, but grabbed the best seat in the house, and took the biggest leg off the turkey. Get used to it Hearn and Joshua fanboys. Win or lose, Ruiz is here to stay, and already has a more satisfying legacy than the others. PERIOD.

It’s posturing from Haymon, he’s hoping if he makes it seem like AJ might get frozen out altogether, they’ll crumble on the venue. In the end Eddie will stump up even more for Saudi and that’s what’ll happen and Al will pocket a tidy pay off from fast Eddie

Just fight in NYC.

FCK NO!!

Ruiz doesn't call the shots, he signed a rematch clause on a voluntary defense. The time, date & venue is decided by Team Hearn. It should be on neutral grounds.

I'm saying this as someone who lives in NYC.

AJ should just fight in New York. A ring is a ring, once you get in there it doesnt matter where the fight is. You just do what you need to do to get the win.

Ruiz the United States Heavyweight Champion.

I thought Wilder was. No UK world heavyweight champion to speak of.

Somebody's trying to play games here, I'm just not sure exactly who. I just wish whoever it is would knock it off, I don't know why every worthwhile fight in this division has to be such an ordeal to make happen.

Haymon isn’t a fool. Something’s up

Haymon isn't GOD and he's definitely not a lawyer. He's going to cost Ruiz money and time lost on his career tied up in litigation.

Hearn will win this in court because Ruiz will not be able to explain to the courts one good reason why he won't honor a rematch contract that he signed.

[Queen_Leia]

Andy just needs to let his legal representation handle it and focus on training.
Hearn is just playing games

How so?...Hearn has a binding contract which includes the rematch clause with Andy Ruiz signature on it. The burden of proof will be on Ruiz to prove in court.

No fighter that has tried to break a rematch clause contract has ever won their case in court.

This Hearn being the fookboy he is they getting extra money and don't want to compensate the champ accordingly. Ruiz ain't no dummy he has the belts he holds the cards he can take another fight and sit AJuice down for a few months too. So if they want the fight in SA pay the man

LOL...this statement is funny. Ruiz has no leverage at all. Hearn and his team will win this case in court. Ruiz has put up so many obstacles for a fighter who signed a rematch clause on an optional defense that Joshua didn't owe him.

Ruiz wants --

1. Wants more money than what he signed for in the rematch clause.

2. Doesn't want to fight in the U.K

3. Doesn't want to fight in SA...he has given no reason.

SA world risk level is level 2.. the same risk level as Mexico & India.

The Saudia Arabia argument is BS because it the same as Mexico, you know, the country that he wants to hold the fight in.

Ruiz will lose in court, his excuses are nonsense. Ruiz career will be on hold while this goes through litigation. Any promoter who even attempts to promote him during this time will be sued for interfering with a legally binding contract.

In the meantime, his belt will be stripped from him due to inactivity, Joshua will continue to fight because he's not involved in the lawsuit and more than likely will pick up one of the stripped belts while Ruiz career rots away.

Ruiz should just fight in the U.K...a ring is a ring.

Thank you. Hearn is just petty, trying to humiliate Andy, like he tried to humiliate Wilder. He wanted Wilder to come begging with hat in hand, shuffling his feet, all yes'm boss. Now he's trying to bully Andy with nothing in his hand but a piece of paper. He could have made a sensible proposition, but no, he wants to play the victim.
