    Prob the worst place to host a fight, but I’m sure joshua will be able to juice himself up and not worry about anything.

    Ruiz reminds me of a cross between Gabriel fluffy Iglesias and Theodore from Alvin and the Chipmunks! War Ruiz!

    Ruiz don’t want to fight in the UK but will quite happily fight in Saudi Arabia. OK then.

    I dont care where it is. I wanted the rematch to be in America cuz if Joshua is still aiming on being a big sell over there he really needs to overcome that loss on American soil cuz so much hate created negativity can come from going back to the UK or what ever. But mostly i just wanted it to happen and all the talk was Ruiz and his team were going to make this very difficult if it was to go Cardiff even though technically they had signed that contract.

    Personally i felt they were pushing for it to be back in the UK and were getting ready for a bit of a battle for Team Ruiz to play ball then a real big offer came in from somewhere we could all call neutral ground. So take it, 2 birds with one stone. I struggle to believe they wont be giving Ruiz a bigger share of the money just to sweeten it up so they do play ball and everything went through smoothly. Im just happy its looking done cuz im looking forward to the fight. I believe AJ can do it, i believe AJ was far from 100% on it that night for reasons people still debate and i believe he will be this time. But Ruiz still threw the punch that clocked him on the top of the head and from there he was too aggressive to allow AJ any chance, if there even was a chance that he could recover. If the same man can throw the same shot against the same opponent then Joshua could be in trouble again. Good fight, looking forward to it and it will tell us alot about what really happened in the 1st fight cuz the excuses and conspiricies have gone through the roof on this one.

    Has Ruiz said anything about it been in Saudi?? I’ve not seen anything ... find it weird that he’s not posted anything on social media about it ... prob means nothing though ... just a bit strange

    They're trying to rip him off. With an apparent $84m pot they are only paying him 9m?

    I'd guess they're only aiming to pay him what the contract he signed says they have to.

    If Ruiz signed to take $9 mil then this is going to court.

    How exactly does he deserve more? Is Ruiz the one generating the money here?
    9mil is hardly a rip-off.
