Hearn and Saudis paid Ruiz a few million extra money to take the fight easy and spar Joshua. He is happy with the money.
He was paid and he lost. But come on... how much would you have to pay to let the HW champ lose, kmowing a win would make him so much richer? Stupid idea and grasping at straws for no reason. He should have come in 800 snickers lighter to have a chance.
I remember when Ruiz won the belts and it was “haymon is calling the shots down, it will be on Andy’s terms, Hearn and AJ are nothing now”. Haha Now look at it...
Idiots like this who display their below average intelligence like a badge of honour should be banned from the internet!
He got paid more than he was contractually entitled to for the rematch based on the initial contract. He used the leverage of the fight going to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to negotiate a few more millions to his paycheck so good on him. He did not take it easy on AJ he lost fair and square.
All that matters to Brits is that Joshua gets more PPV buys mostly from poor UK residents limited budgets, I'm sure lots of children there are neglected to pay all PPV bills! Doesn't matter who's the best, what matters in Joshua is a Brit and gets more PPV purchases to fatten Hearn's Bank Vault!!
If Joshua was American the Brits would mostly trash him for being an American Hype Job and would NOT be buying his PPV fights guaranteed!
I kinda have that feeling as well. He showed up fat in a title match, and showed no effort during the match. It was like a joke.
the Joshua popularity is a Soccer Nationalism Mentally, it's the same as why Americans for the most part hate Soccer, Americans like NFL Football which is controlled domestically for the most part and plays cities against each other even though most of the players are not from the city they play for and could care less other than getting PAID!!
If Hearn is so confident and Joshua thinks he's the new Klitschko Octopuss, let's see Joshua even fight a Klitschko KTFO Victim in Pulev in MSG New York and see if Joshua looks like Popeye without his Spinach like he did against the Blob in NYC!!
