Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: I Would've Fought Joshua In UK If Money Was Right!

Agreed What is that an upgrade or a downgrade?!

Upgrade is 99 cents a week which includes unblocked content like interviews , live streams and ability to post an introduction video about yourself which is a requirement.

A downgrade cost 1 cent a day and is limited posts daily of 11 and a curphew of midnight to stop posting in your retrospective country or legal action is taking with 3 strikes and your account is reported to the bureau .

An alternative is the 7/11 package that's 77 cents every other week for 11 months and 1 months free and that comes with a how to box video by the Mods on here .

Andy Ruiz Jr is no more. Here before us we see PBC Ruiz. IM NOT FIGHTING IN THE UK, IM NOT FIGHTING IN THE UK. I would of fought in the UK. Just another script learnt lying PBC zombie.

No you wouldn’t have

I don’t think that’s my business to be saying, ‘You know what? I wanna fight here. I wanna fight there.’ … It wasn’t me."

Now Andy you ain't got to lie, Mr." I ain't going to Saudi Arabia!", Mr." I want it in Mexico! "

If Andy isn't careful he's getting hurt.

He knows his fans aren't picky when it comes to excuses.

Maybe he would have fought in the UK, but I don't think his team would have been happy to give Joshua home advantage without getting at least 50% of the purse - which would never have happened due to the pre-signed rematch clause. Matchroom then tendered out to the highest bidder for a neutral location, which allowed Ruiz Jr's paycheck to be increased without lowering Joshua's.

Ruiz was never going to get the same money as Joshua, he can beat Joshua and fight Wilder for the undisputed title and I'll bet he still won't make close to as much as Joshua, no knock on Ruiz, just how it is.

No matter what Hearn, Joshua or anyone says, I still think the money from SA was so good they couldn't turn it down, and used Ruiz not wanting to fight is the UK as a bit of cover. Hearn claims the extra Ruiz is getting is for some additional promotional obligations which weren't covered by the rematch clause, and while there may be some truth to it, it's more likely Ruiz was pushing for the best deal he could get from a weak position contractual, and Joshua's side obviously wanted to avoid the legal route which is bad business for everyone.

End of the day, if the reports of $40M for site fee is anywhere near correct Joshua is going to make a ridiculous amount off this fight.
