Comments Thread For: Andy Ruiz: A Little Bit Says Joshua is Being Forced Into Rematch

[Blond Beast]

But he could absolutely fight scrubs for tens of millions. He could absolutely get away with that while claiming Ruiz landed a lucky punch.

And the next title fight would get bigger and bigger with a couple of comeback wins under his belt.

Financially, the riskiest move is Ruiz. Back to back losses and he's in a different position.

That tells me he wants the belts and believes he can win them back.

Yeah but Ruiz was supposed to be a scrub too remember? I mean AJ finished up his camp in Miami. We all know AJ isn’t sum elite heavyweight compared to history. They know he could potentially lose to another no name. Meanwhile who knows what would happen with Ruiz. The belts could get split up. Maybe Wilder could try and unify with Ruiz. If Wilder won think how much he would demand vs AJ? AJ was supposed to be the man and got paid like it. They wouldn’t be fighting Ruiz right away if they had to pay him 30million. AJ wouldn’t be fighting in Saudi if he wasent getting paid extra to do it, at the same time he can drag Andy there and not have to share the bonus. AJs made a lot money before he even left the UK. This is the best risk vs reward. Even if AJ loses they can be proud of how much he made. Maybe AJ wants the rematch right away? Whose to really know. But I’m sure Hearn knows that this is the best value he’s getting. It’s not like it’s in the UK. AJ May very well win but Hearn knows that if he doesn’t it shows he’s still done the right thing by getting the most guaranteed money.

Last time they were in the ring together AJ literally quit rather than continue fighting Ruiz....

That's pretty telling about who wants to fight and evo doesn't

With all due respect, that's moronic.

And that's with every possible bit of due respect.

So your definition of a guy who "Quits" Is someone that keeps getting back off the floor and fights on?

A quitter goes down and keeps his eyes shut for 10 seconds.

War Andy! Show Joshua that Mexican style one more time.

No AJ quit, there was no "fighting on".

He wanted to avoid getting heavily KO'd, so just took easy cowards option and quit in the corner.

FACTS.

You must be an AJ fanboy, they hate facts and refuse to accept them.

AJ was beaten, fair and square. Concussed, dazed, beaten. The last knockdown was a nothing punch - he was out on his feet before it.

So your opinion is that it makes it certain that AJ doesn't want to fight Ruiz. Never mind that it was AJ who exercised the option for a rematch. AJ signed for a rematch. AJ constantly spoke about wanting a rematch. AJ filed against Ruiz to ensure it happened.

If you want to talk about facts, then there are your facts.

Plenty of beaten fighters opted for rematches.

No champion has ever quit like that before.

He doesn't want to rematch, he just wants the money. Can you imagine how bad it would look if he turned down rematch?

From what ive been hearing and reading direct from Team Ruiz it sounded like they had to be forced in to the rematch, IM NOT FIGHTING IN THE UK, IM NOT FIGTING IN SAUDI, IM NOT THIS IM NOT THAT. Unfortunatly Haymons lawyers couldnt find those loopholes all the Deontay Ruiz fans were talking about.
