    None of that has anything to do with purse splits though. Literally the only factor relevant to how much the fighters should get paid is how many bums they put in seats and how many tickets they sell, i.e. who is the bigger draw, and there is no way anyone can argue that Wilder isn’t a bigger draw than Ruiz.

    Doesn't WBC determine splits on past earnings of the previous three fights?
    It's not inconceivable that Ruiz would be equivalent to Wilder. (Though in truth, I don't follow their earnings)
    Also, it's not like Wilder is moving the needle by himself.
    Ruiz v Arreola allegedly did 125k+ in buys. Ruiz v Ortiz, 65k+. Wilder v Helenius did allegedly 75k+ in buys.
    I don't see an obvious A-side

    Andy Ruiz came into the second fight without even training and took AJ the distance. AJ is a bum and Usyk is a hype jobe any natural talented heavyweight dismantles him. AJ was a gun shy clown in that fight hence his reaction at the end AJ should have taken more chances.

    70-30 is what I call pricing himself out of a fight.

    Wilder has had 1 fight in the nearly 2 years since Fury beat his ass for the final time. I don't want to hear anything about Wilder being ducked. He's biding his time and waiting for a big fight to land on his lap.

    I don't think Andy Ruiz Jr is scared of anyone. He was fearless when he fought AJ. After he was knocked down, he didn't hesitate a bit to brawl with AJ again.

    Ruiz would be a great replacement for Whyte. The trilogy.
