Ruiz getting a flat fee of 9 mil for the Joshua rematch.

[redmish]

I think it should be stipulated that the champion earns more than the challenger. Ruiz earned them titles and deserves the bigger split. Joshua was awful in the first fight and deserved to lose.

Be careful Rexy I've gotten plenty of flak for having that opinion before. They just don't get that it's rude to count other people's money.

There is no big fight without AJ in terms of generated millions beyond what is average to below average with the other guys.

Like I said theres AJ and then everyone else, to say otherwise doesn't actually apply to the real world ,that is the event needs Aj not Ruiz because the other option is wilder and he cant even sell with Fury who is a bigger draw then Ruiz at least now and hes doing comical numbers at the gate himself .

He left his comfort zone (The UK)? Anyways I haven’t seen any boxer leave their comfort zone when they make the sort of money he makes. So good on him fighting in America and not Saudi.

Ruiz comes out a winner either way. He just went from making $200K to making $15 million for two fights in a year. Mommy doesn’t have to struggle anymore.
He wins the rematch he has some great PBC paydays coming up. He loses he can still get paid nicely as a challenger for the next few years. He’s a marketable guy and has a great story to sell.

Yep, either way his name is up there and out there. He would be commanding a couple of millions for each fights if he loses the rematch. If he wins then the sky is the limit, either way he is shinning.

Saudi Arabian sports en****** have put up close to £70 million for the fight to take place in the Middle East, according to the Telegraph.

Saudi Arabia fended off fierce competition from US, England, Wales as well as Dubai to land the highly-anticipated rematch.

Joshua's set to earn a staggering amount of money with Ruiz Jr on a fixed purse of £7.5 million ($9 million) due to contract stipulations.


In the last 11 months, Saudi Arabia have hosted two major fights involving British boxers. In September 2018, Callum Smith beat George Goves in the World Boxing Super Series super-middleweight tournament final.

While Amir Khan's last fight took place in Jeddah. He reportedly earned £7 million to fight Australian Billy Dib in July.

Joshua will have the chance to avenge his sole professional defeat when he meets Ruiz Jr again on December 7.

He lost his WBA (super), IBF and WBO world titles to the Mexican-American on his US debut in New York.

The Matchroom boss will host a press conference on Monday to formally announce Ruiz Jr vs. Joshua II.

And ahead of facing Ruiz Jr again, Joshua has opened up about his defeat, explaining in detail how the Madison Square Garden crowd and having one eye on Deontay Wilder were responsible for his loss.

"This fight, in terms of what it meant, there was no real gain in it," he told JD Sports.

"So beating Ruiz, I could be sitting here now and it wouldn't have meant as much to me as it is to train for the rematch.

"Everything it meant to Ruiz winning, is everything it didn't mean to me beating him.

"In the second round I heard the crowd booing, someone told me there was a fight going on in the arena, that's why. But [my] debut in New York - crowd's booing.

"The week before, Wilder had knocked [Dominic] Breazeale out in the first round and I'm fighting two weeks after, so [I thought] 'let's go and handle business', I don't want to let the people down.

"With this fight here, I feel like where I've been fighting for so many years, when I came into the boxing arena, it was like I was steamrolling through.

"Joshua's going to fight, yeah, boom, knock them out, so from walking into a gym, to three years later competing in the Olympics, from turning professional to three years later becoming world champion, it seemed like this was already written in the stars.

"But I think behind the scenes, the efforts, the education, the mind training that it takes to develop these skills and capabilities to be in that position are tiring.

"When it looks easy, they never truly respect what it is you are trying to achieve.

"My purpose for that fight was, 'am I fighting Wilder next?' The purpose for that fight was, 'what is he doing next?', it wasn't solely on winning that fight."

YOU are the one who's a stupid idiot

Says "never going to happen" then follows up with a thread promoting that it's "actually going to happen"

This idiot's agenda toward PBC is a mental illness, stick to being a pedo, you pedo
