    Andy Ruiz is suspicious regarding fighting in Saudi . I dont blame him. Lets face it he wasnt supposed to win was he But he did;!!! He beat the almighty AJ into submission LEGITIMATELY!!
    The first fight was officiated fairly & there was no corruption involved, for a refreshing change
    Why is Hearn so adamant in the fight not being held again in the US in MSG ??? Why is Ruiz only getting 10% is another sticking point To be honest that is INSULTING!!
    I agree with Ruiz the fight should be held in MSG providing a bigger % goes to the current champ
    Stick it out Andy Dont get robbed

    All fine and dandy, as long as the fight happens this year.

    Ways Ruiz could win:
    Joshua's mind is more fragile than his chin.
    AJ has been on roids all this time and is crap without them.
    Aj uses the same stupid game plan.
    Ways AJ could win.
    He fights the way he has up until that fight.
    He knocks Ruiz down and doesn't rush in.
    AJ freakin' learns how to hold.

    Since that fight Ruiz has been way over rated and AJ way under-rated.
    AJ should win but it won't be easy.

    Doesn't that depend on the contract Andy signed?

    It wouldn’t, not if AJ had already agreed to a set amount of cash.

    I’m not particularly an AJ fan. He’s certainly not one of my favourite fighters. Unlike most on this forum I don’t have any bias’ towards boxers.

    I agree however that Ruiz should get a little extra, just nothing substantial, and I think he will, as you say I doubt Hearn wants a drawn out court case, when he could give Ruiz an extra couple million. Maybe bring is to 10m from the 7.5 it currently is.

    Completely irrelevant.

    Ruiz agreed to the terms. Now he’s realised he shouldn’t have agreed to such shitty terms, it’s his bad.

    If you sell a coin for £1000 and the buyer goes and immediately sells it for 1m, then you don’t deserve a penny of that 1m. You agreed to the £1000.

    Ruiz agreed to 7.5m. He didn’t realise the fight would be worth 80m. His bad, the fact is he accepted and agreed to 7.5m.

    Maybe the Saudi choice was really Hearn's response to Ruiz challenging the contract? After all, now there's an enormous sum of money been announced that will doubtless form part of a claim for damages. Add a charge for reputation, distress, legal costs and all the other factors lawyers love to include and you are looking at an imposing amount for Ruiz, or anyone who may be backing him to have to think about.

    Could be that he knows Ruiz plans to break the contract, perhaps for a fight with Wilder and the Saudi announcement is a chess move.

    There are people out there who think like this and have conversations about that kinda stuff. It's strange that it isn't even in the UK. As I said, Joshua puts on a Thobe and the rest is history.

    Every move Ruiz makes is through Al Haymon. I wouldn't put faith in Hearn successfully swindling Haymon and Co.

    Ruiz can`t do a ****. He agree and sign to the contract, a contract that gives him his highest payday combine to his previous matches. In the rematch he will earn even more. The sum of 9 mil is a pure, and he will earn more, depends on numbers and etc.
    He gets even more, then what is in the contract, same for the venue, he didn`t want in UK, so Hearn make it in neutral place, while in the contract is written that Joshua side choice where the venue take place in the rematch.

    If he refuse to fight and the fight does not go on, this is breach of contract firstable and i can tell you that such contracts have insanely huge forfreit/penalty. And secondly he will get Sued, HE not Joshua, so firstable he will be inactive for long period of time, he will lose all the belts, because of that, also he will lose every f**** penny he has ever earn and maybe even come to a huge - balance.
    He simply doesn`t have a chance in this case.
    Maybe Al Haymon want exactly this, so Wilder can have easy time taking the spread titles.
    Joshua most likely going to earn back 1 or 2 of his title, for sure not all his 3, but he won`t stay without a title.
    It`s not a perfect situation for him, because he won`t avenge his L, and he will be 1 or 2 title less and in very bad spot to Unify with Wilder, cause now Wilder will have all the cards.

    But still the one to lose all it`s only Andy Ruiz.
