We all know Forbes magazine just pull out numbers from its arse. That's the same magazine that said Kyle Jenner and Jay Z are billionaire when neither are close to that number. And the same magazine claimed Deontay Wilder made $50million. LMAOOOOOO.
However, from reliable sources, we know Saudi Arabia paid crazy money for the rematch on Dec. 7 and Ruiz is making $12million max.
Ok, let's do the maths:
- Saudi Arabia site fee: between $50 - $100 million
- UK PPV: people are saying it's going to be £49.99 and it's projected to do over 2million buys since it isn't in the UK.
- DAZN is planning to buy the rights to the fight for the US and all the other countries it's in: at least $30million
- Then you have the broadcast rights to 150 countries excluding Mexico.
Once you deduct the fixed $12million Ruiz is expected to get, whatever is left in the pot belongs to AJ and his team. And I'm Ruiz will get decent backend money from Mexico's broadcast rights as well.
It's pretty easy to see why AJ and Hearn smiling pretty hard. And they don't even need to spend money on planning and other expenditures TV stations spend - Saudi Arabia will handle all that.
