Comments Thread For: Eddie Hearn Makes 'Seven-Figure Offer' For Andy Ruiz To Face Dillian Whyte

[The D3vil]

I actually like this fight.

I'd want to see it.

Fast Eddie should make a 7 figure offer for Parker to fight Usyk instead.

Hate to burst everyone's bubble, but this fight a'int gonna happen captain. Uncle Al is not in the business of helping DAZN dig themselves out of a hole. Hearn has to make his own fights and stop looking so desperate trying to sign PBC fighters like Andy and Charlo. He needs to make Andrade v 3G v Canelo, Lylian White v Filip Hrgovic, Haney v Ryan. PBC has plenty of work for Andy (Wilder, Efe, Kownaki, Ruiz) where he can still make millions. So please stop looking so thirsty Eddie, because your attempt at trying to become 'King of Mexico' is starting to look like an act of futility.

Lol, no doubt. I guess I read your post the wrong way. As far as the offer, if it was so high, why didnt Hearn say the amount? Since when is Hearn shy, as a matter of fact, when is Hearn not willing to brag about the amount of money he throws at a fighter/fight? The question has to be asked, even if the offer was low seven figures, should Ruiz except it? I think he should. The way his last fight went down, there is much to rebuild, and he'll have too. Beating Whyte on his own home turf would go a long way, even for low seven figures, it's more than worth it.

As far as taking the Mandatory slot, he cant do that just by defeating Whyte. First, Ruiz has to be ranked high by the WBC. If he is successful on becoming highly ranked which will require a committee vote, he can then petition the WBC to make the fight an eliminator, which would require an additional committee vote. Right now Ruiz is ranked 7th, being that he just held 3 world titles, I believe hed be successful if he requested for this fight to be an eliminator. The last hurdle is Whyte himself. Whyte has historically refused to fight eliminators, going as far as allowing the WBC to strip him of mandatory status. Will Whyte agree to fight Ruiz if the WBC called for an eliminator? A lot of if's on this one.

As far as Dolan, I'm actually not sour on him. There isn't that many owners who'll throw the amounts of money on their teAm that Dolan throws on the Knicks. He'll cross the tax threshold like it doesn't even exist. Has he made mistakes, for sure! But he tried man, hired Phil Jackson, who knew Jackson would try to destroy the Knicks. Dolan stepped in and fired him when he needed too. Dolan try to hand the reigns to Mills and Perry, but they aren't doing so well are they? Perry pretty much drafts and signs the same type of players over and over. And who the Fhuck really thought Fizdale would be so bad? As long as Dolan keeps spending the money, and only steps in when absolutely neccessary, the Knicks will be ok.

I highlighted so many great things! Loved your insight! No way should Ruiz fight Whyte, if it means he's not Wilder's mando with the victory! We were vibing for a second, until the last point! YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO OAKLEY! Sorry, i'm 50+. That's unacceptable! R.I.P. to Anthony Mason! Forrest Projects Stand Up! Salute to the whole Iran Barkley family!

Nothing like .com stock

What morons to accept that

BWaHaahaHA!!

[markther]

I believe a highly motivated Andy Ruiz Jr. beats Whyte. The Andy Ruiz Jr. that fought Joshua in the rematch loses.

[DougalDylan]

Will Whyte agree to fight Ruiz if the WBC called for an eliminator?

He's already the mandatory why would he be in an eliminator?

[Bornboxingfan]

I truly believe Andy Ruiz Jr has had a reality check from the Joshua rematch. His new mansion sounds nice, but it's a huge lifetime expense. I like his chances.

[sammybee]

Ruiz Jr is a dangerous opponent for Whyte. Go ask Joshua.
