I just wanna see them fight again!
Only male groupies like yourself get involved in all that $ earnings bullshet!
You Fool's aren't getting any of Ruiz's money so what the Fucc do you care how much he's getting paid???
All that talk about all the Dad bods of the world would clamor for Ruiz to get a respectable salary is comedy!
Real boxing fan's don't give a fucc about none of that!

Innovation and change happens when someone sees a process or something that is “wrong”. PBC saw something in the boxing game and decided to change the game. I hope you don’t troll them for wanting better for boxers. I see disadvantaged people getting mistreated and I say something about it. You can be a meek person and stay quiet to injustice or be part of something that looks out for the little guy.

Ruiz has 0 leverage. He wanted the fight on short notice and knew Hearn had 2-3 other options.
So he signed what he had to in order to get a shot at the heavyweight titles.
Hearn picked the site and Ruiz got a guaranteed fee. Hearn threw him a few extra dollars to get it done.
Hard to feel sorry for a guy going from 100k to over $15 million in a year. Plus win or lose Ruiz will get some more good paydays against Haymon’s PBC guys.
Your worth is what someone is willing to pay and the Saudi’s said AJ was worth what he got.
Nobody forced Ruiz to sign that contract. If your that upset about it you should point the finger at Haymon. He didn’t think Ruiz would win so he advised his guy to sign it all away.

Unless you're a huge star and the champion isn't, you have to agree to terms for the rematch in order to get the first fight when you're a voluntary challenger.
If you're Andy Ruiz, and you make 4 million for the first fight, and if you win, 10 million for the second fight, why leverage do you really have? If you turn it down, where else are you going to make that money?

AJ was very much the A side going into the first fight and the contract for the first fight probably made sure he would get most of the money in a rematch if he lost. Ruiz probably had to agree to take a very short end in a rematch or they would have found another replacement. It was a take it or leave it situation so Ruiz took it and became champion. No rule I know of makes sure the champ gets more than the challenger. The champ should get more but in this fight he gets a hell of a lot less. If Ruiz wins again I think he becomes the A side and can make some huge money but getting 10 million bucks for one fight is not so bad. AJ has always been a huge money maker and very well paid.

AHHHHHHH, So pocket watching is ok again now cuz its a Matchroom fighter. Joshua cant help it if he is a world wide mega star. Ruiz is getting WAY above market value for the fight.

Ruiz is getting good money along with Aztec TV money, so he'll probably gross over 15 mil. At least he isn't stupid like the Alabama fool, crying about AJ's money. Just several months ago Arum was tossing him to the curve, saying, he was no good.

Because Hearn had rematch clauses and this is what you have to accept if you want the first fight
Ruiz knew what he was signing up for. He’s still making great money anyway. He isn’t gonna make that money against anyone else, even if it’s 8x less than AJ.
