Comments Thread For: Arum: Andy Ruiz "Hit The Lottery" After $700K Buyout

[Drigo]

Arum dont take care his fighter like Al Haymon did. Thats why PBC fighters prosper more. Crawford should do the same or he will be great only in his own claim...

[Bob Haymon]

Terrence Crawford should do the same thing! Follow Floyd and Ruiz footsteps! If he wants to be great, go to PBC to fight all the marquee names and more money! Go Bud go please!

Ruiz went to PBC and they put him with Dimitrenko. He'd be fighting Johann Duhaupas if Miller hadn't failed 3 PED tests.

Totally agree!

Agree! But he won't get this opportunity if he was still with Arum

In this heavyweight environment you don't let go of any heavyweights. It's not like Andy was outclassed against Parker. Some people had him winning that fight.

I had him more than winning the Parker fight. That fight got my vote for robbery of the year. Parker faded badly in the second half of the fight. Seemed to me Ruiz was out punching him big time. If that fight was held anywhere else Ruiz would have been a champion sooner. After Andy's brutal, and I mean brutal demolition of Dimitrenko, I was surprised team Joshua would take such a dangerous fight. When my boy's told me that fat f**k was getting a major ass whupping, I said that when I saw him enter the ring for the Dimitrenko fight I thought the same thing. Ruiz proceeded to make him quit on his stool. I would be surprised if he doesn't give Joshua a bigger ass kicking this time.

Bob arum has never had good luck with heavy weights for whatever reason.

Aside from Ali, Frazier, and Foreman.

Anyone who buys out his contract with Top Rank goes on to win the lottery. Mayweather did it for the same amount and if Terence Crawford is listening he needs to jump ship.

I like the fact that Arum creates a leeway for boxers to buy themselves out. Mayweather was able to, and Ruiz did it as well.

I think Ruiz is a smart guy, he was able to break the chain and use his Mexican heritage to pursue the Joshua fight, especially after Luis Ortiz duck his career payday guarantee.

Getting the AJ fight has changed his life around, but like most people he wasn’t as humble as I thought at first. All the “Am not going to SA, we having the first in the states, am the A-side” etc

When you knew what you signed from the first fight. Anyways good luck to him for the future..

I scored the Parker fight to Ruiz too, I thought he was unlucky because that fight was in New Zealand.

And yep a lot of people slept on him, looking at his Babyface and chubby built, we had a whole loads of “Let’s just get this over with” mentality from posters that you think knows their boxing.

I watched Ruiz against someone similar to AJ (Joe hanks) and I was like gosh this guy knows how to fight those big muscle bound guys, I was derided by one poster on here for “Comparing” Hank and AJ. And how Hearn can’t lie to the public with this fight etc

Then I saw a Roach (Former trainer of Ruiz) interview who thought Team Joshua was made an error fighting Ruiz on short notice because that boy “Can fight”

Ruiz in the big time now and good for him too
