DAZN has made a long term commitment to stream Hearn fight worth around $1billion. All of that goes up in smoke if Hearn is even accused of fixing fights. That is a huge risk. Plus he promotes a ton of fighters. He loses that if he fixes fights.

nobody EVER lost fixing fights football basketball games etc

Heavy is the head that wears the crown. You could tell that AJ was relieved when he lost the belts, but it was that moment that allowed him to rejuvenate and re-calibrate. Meanwhile, Ruiz discovered the difficulties that arise from being a champion: preparation/studying, media obligations, excess income and the fair-weather friends/temptations that come with it, etc. I think we found out that (currently) he doesn't have the discipline/maturity to be more than a transitional champion.
