Ruiz’s side thought even a loss would raise his profile for future PBC fight, was a significant payday, and pretty much signed anything they had to to get the fight on short notice.
It was one of the biggest upsets ever and that changed Ruiz and Haymon’s thinking. I don’t personally think they can walk away from the contract and keep the titles but time will tell.
I personally think this is just some posturing 5 months out from the fight. They’ll change the location or throw him some extra money and the fight will go on.
