Are the PBC fans going to come in here and ask boxingscene and the writer if they've seen the contract? The article says Joshua chooses location and date.

This ****ing idiot will end with **** all if he ain't careful ... how long do you thing Barry Hearn has been in boxung ? Do you really think Hearn would give at the time an average fighter a golden chance and not cover himself and his client completely in terms of a water tight contract if something were to go wrong ? Ruiz best wake up or end up skint in court .. my guess is he's just playing the game to get a extra few dollars or afew more flights and hotel rooms or whatever ... dangerous game if he digs in thou ..

He's not weaseling out, he's using the leverage he has to make the fight on his terms. The leverage being the belts he took of the paper champion with his lucky punch from the gods

Andy Ruiz does not need this rematch, AJ does. Very simple contract.

If "not everything is correct in the contract" then why da *** did he sign it? And not just that. That contract is the result of negotiations in which his super-duper "advisor" was also involved.
If I was Hearn I would sue this little fat ***er.

The rematch is confirmed but the location of the fight is still pending. Patience is a Virtue.

"Not everything is correct in the contract" is a really odd way to phrase it, the contract is correct, it might not be what you want it to be or what Hearn is claiming it is, but the contract is what is signed and agreed.

That really sounds like "I don't like what is in the contract".

Does anyone think if the contract didn't give Hearn location choice Ruiz wouldn't have come straight out and said it by now, leaving aside yes it would have been crazy for a promoter for not to include that initially.

It could be he's been told the contract wasn't drawn up or worded properly. Seems unlikely though,. I'm sure Eddie's lawyers know how to draw up a contract.
