That's actually pretty dope.

Can he also get them beer or no?

Seems like a lot of terms weren't covered under the rematch clause.....

Even though we kept getting told the rematch clause terms were airtight....

Eddie thought he was going pull as fast one putting it in Saudi Arabia with no commission. Haymon said hold up. Americans are controlling this fight. And he got Mexican TV rights.

From ESPN, some of the new terms for Ruiz:

- a better financial deal than the $9M for the rematch that was originally guaranteed, incl Mexican TV rights
- VADA testing, like 1st fight
- a rep from US athletic commission TBD
- ref & judges w at least 40 world title fights or exp

Have they or you seen the contract?

Yeah, especially how Ruiz said he wasn't going there because of security concerns, that one way to make it a home town crowd, plus all Joshua fights are VADA tested.

Ruiz said he wasn't going to Saudi Arabia, but as we all knew he was signed up to a rematch which gave Matchroom location discretion, and this is the best you can come up with to save face?

Thread starter is one of the clowns that said people can't talk about contracts if they haven't seen them. Then he makes threads like this. He's a clown and a bet welch.

Sound like Andy got everything he wanted, props to Eddie too for Compromising and negotiating as well as everybody that was involved and was able to just come together and work this thing out and make it happen

It could've gotten messy and went to court and we would've been stuck with NO Fight

Hopefully Saudi Arabia ends up being a HUGE Success and it officially becomes a serious player in boxing that would be great for the sport of boxing and more importantly the boxers to make a lot of money

I am tired of seeing big fights in the same damn boring Venues over and over with Sh#T Crowd. I think Boxing Should do events from different parts of the world where fans are actually excited to come out and watch boxing

I don't think VADA testing was something new. That's not what Rafael said, just said they will be handling the drug testing just like the first fight.

Overall seems like fair a deal. Experienced ref and judges benefits both fighters.

A side Andy! Love it. Thanks Mr. Haymon. Now let�s get Canelo out of his dAZN contract
