Comments Thread For: An Interlude, Then Go Heavy

[OldTerry]

Ortiz is a very old man that was hand picked to go down, possibly during the ring walk.

BTW, what you wrote is not an opinion, it's a simple cut and paste advertisement.

I get your point, still I'm looking forward to the fight. Hopefully the upcoming heavyweight fights will lead to one that is truly meaningful.

For the Ruiz rematch in Saudi Arabia, Hearn snagged a $40 million site fee for himself and Joshua is slated to get about the same. Ruiz is only getting $10 million, a 20/80 split for the UNIFIED CHAMPION!

I hope Ruiz wins the rematch and goes on to a mega-dollar fight with Wilder. If Ruiz loses to Joshua I hope he has a lucrative rematch clause.

In the US it's "Ruiz vs that British guy"

To the rest of the world it's "Anthony Joshua vs that fat Mexican guy"

Yea, the big fat Mexican who made Joshua look like a drunk fool.

Joshua and Hearn take the lion's share in every fight. Then turn around and offer peanuts to Joshua's opponents. Ortiz was offered $5 million to Joshua's $30 million, less than a 15/85 split in purses. Ortiz's management were then offered $7 million, but knew they were already getting more than that for the Wilder fight.

For the Ruiz rematch in Saudi Arabia, Hearn snagged a $40 million site fee for himself and Joshua is slated to get about the same. Ruiz is only getting $10 million, a 20/80 split for the UNIFIED CHAMPION!

Al Haymon is too smart for Eddie ***** doe.

Al knows how to get around a rematch clause. He'll find loopholes in dumb Eddie's contract and AJ will have to fight A Side Andy in the US for whatever Haymon wants to give him, or go kick rocks!

Not a chance in hell of that. Nobody gets a rematch clause for a fight that's happening because of a previous rematch clause.

If Andy loses he'll have to wait till AJ gets his mandos out of the way before a rubber match can happen.

Obviously math wasn't your subject.
Ortiz is an old man with heart problems that can't draw flies. AJ offered the old man 6 million and said no to fight Wilder for 3.


Buy a calculator.

A very old man everybody is scared to look bad against. Except the one fighter in the division who gave him a shot in the first place. Then Joshua refused to fight him because he didn't want to pay him and ended up hand picking Ruiz instead for a much smaller price. But Joshua ended up paying a bigger price for lowballing Ortiz, didn't he...

Andy "the cheese" Ruiz!

I'm sick of these guys not fighting one another and I refuse to pay for less. I paid for Porter/Spence and Loma /Campbell but I will never pay to watch Joshua or Wilder fight someone they previously knocked out.

14x his previous best pay. But you know...haters are gonna hate....and not understand math...
