"It’s understood that on Thursday Ruiz received a fresh bout agreement with altered terms that will see him earn a total of around $10m (£8.2m)."

This seems surprisingly low. If AJ is getting $50M+, you would think Ruiz and his team would be able to squeeze out at least $15M.

Pay doesn't seem right considering he won the first fight.

That said I think it's in his interests to get an immediate rematch because if he goes 2-0 against Joshua he can sure negotiate a big payday for his next fight. The sooner the rematch is the more it favours him in my opinion.

So he whined about 7.5 andn ow it goes up just a bit to 8.2 ... exceptionally savvy work again US

What was Ruiz Junior's purse for the first fight?

Well Andy Ruiz Junior was a voluntary defense technically for Joshua 'And ether which way Joshua choosing him to fight has changed his life and career'.

Even if Ruiz Junior looses the rematch, I can see him in big fights vs Fury/Wilder.

So he wasn't happy with 9 million but that one million more made all the difference in the world and he's cool with 10......now when Hearn is suing him. What a coincidence lol.

He’s willing to risk his life and go to SA with all those tattoos for an extra $1 million before taxes?

Regardless of the outcome of the rematch, Ruiz is set for life.

He can fight Wilder or Fury. He can fight a Whyte or even a Povetkin. He can fight young up and coming unbeaten prospects trying to build their name up. He'll be getting great or very good paydays from now on.

He got an extra million dollars by just complaining he wasn’t getting paid enough. That’s pretty decent.

[BangEM]

You lot are all over the place. Which one is it.

[sicko]

Did he get $10 Million or is he being sued? Which one is it exactly right now because this forum is all over the place when it comes to this rematch
