Andy Rice Pudding Ruiz Rematch -$50m of the best Eh Day

Is the rematch terms not agreed in the original contract?

 

Yes they are. The same article that references his tongue in cheek comments also states that’s he’s due £10mil for any rematch.

 

He's lucky if he gets a 50% guarantee out of it.
This is unlikely to be a $100M+ fight, so a $50M demand is really out there.

 

I can only imagine how happy you are, pal! Haha.

 

Hearn can't complain. He chose Ruiz because he thought he'd give it a go and then fold as opposed to Hunter or Kabayel, both who could have realistically boxed the crap out of Joshua in a 12-round stinkfest.

 

Apparently so. Rumour is he signed for a guaranteed $10m if he won or $1m comeback fight if he lost

 

He'll be stripped

Joshua doesn't look like he cares much about losing or the rematch

 

He looks fine and seems positive.

 

Hopefully it’s just him putting on a brave face and it’s his way of coping with a setback and he’s devastated inside, rather than it being a huge relief. I do suspect the latter though.

 

The rematch split is likely 80/20 in AJ's favour. We know Hearn pays opponents as little as possible and Ruiz wasn't in a position to refuse anything.

The good news is 20% of the rematch is worth life changing money. If he wins, he never has to accept less than 50% while he holds the belts.

Go and win the rematch Andy lad. It's a great story!

 

That’s @TonyHayers at 1:37 with the pipsqueak high pitch voice.
