Lennox Lewis/Rahman 2 and court decided rematch clauses

[W1LL]

People who keep going on about "only $9 million??!" make me cringe every time. If AJ/Hearn hadn't given Ruiz the opportunity, he would still be making a hundred grand fighting on undercards. If the rematch clause is concrete from Eddie's side, then Ruiz will have still profited massively from that two-fight deal. He has to fulfil the legally binding obligations that he willingly signed for.

I don’t think Ruiz is trying NOT to honour the rematch, he is however trying not to honour everything in the contract. We shall see how this plays out, I think a little mediation would help.

So back in 2001 Rahman was offered 17 Mil for the rematch and you fools think it’s okay for Ruiz to only get 9 Mil in 2019???

Ruiz has every right to fight this bs

he needs a new manager to better negotiate..LOL

[Eff Pandas]

That is why Lawyers make a lot of money

I doubt this even makes it to Court. Things have gone silent which usually means negotiations are happening behind the scenes which is great

Tend to agree. If Eddie sues as OP suggests I suspect this gets uglier & maybe postponed & Andy will still get more money for fighting in a ********* country or it gets put elsewhere eventually anyway. Might be a good thing for Joshua doe. I'm anti-an immediate rematch, but if thats the move I think more time between fights is more helpful than less.

But w/e just give Andy some extra money for dealing with the weird ass Saudi vibe & lets get rolling officially already.

But he is refusing to fight AJ on the terms he agreed to in the rematch clause. That's the issue.

And to save you the trouble of asking .. no, I haven't seen the contract.

You admit you haven't seen the contract AFTER saying you know what's in the contract. Do you see how silly you sound?

Do you have to see something to know something? Only PBC tards are questioning what everyone knows about the contract, because they're tards with an agenda.

Where did I say I knew what was in the contract?

Do you think Ruiz is there reason this fight is worth a lot more than it would be if AJ had won and he'd be fighting someone not named Wilder or Fury?

You stated matter of factly he's not following the terms of the rematch clause. Then you admit you haven't seen the rematch clause. Those two statements don't add up

So do you believe Hearn is lying when he says the rematch clause gives him the right to choose the location of the fight?

If so, why do you believe that?

Have you seen the contract?
