    Had to drop into the ER earlier after a mishap with a skip. Was sat waiting and this fella walked in and stood at reception and he was the spitting dabs of Andy. The same body, same walk and the same face, down to his little beard.. He also had the shorts and baseball cap and I couldn't take my eyes off him. It's Andy! Is he ill? Why's he in the North East of England? Had he come a copper like me? WOULD THE FIGHT BE OFF??!?!?!?!

    Anyways, he bounded up the stairs to another department and he looked in great shape, like Rocky running up the steps in Philly. 10 mins later down he came and he bounced out the door.

    Phew!

    This is a breakdown of each round which I think is superbly done. I’m familiar with this lad, seems a decent chap.

    Eddie Hearn has back down which is what I said would happen if he knew what was good for him.

    There is no chance he'd have fancied his chances in Court, with his unreasonable terms being offered to a champion

    You said al haymon would decide the terms of the rematch , didn’t realise he liked Saudi Arabia so much?

    If Ruiz get more mullagh for getting on the way he has, fair play. He's called Hearn's bluff and won

    Looks like Ruiz Jr and Haymon have played a blinder in fairness. Wanted more money, got more money. I'm just happy we have a fight!

    Till it's confirmed I doubt they signed for just a couple million more. If Andy asked for 15 mill they would have had to give it to him or risk the time through court. If Dubai are paying that staggering amount of money for the fight then there is plenty to share around. Why did it take so long if it only took another couple mill to get it done?

    They demanded more money and got more money.

    They refused to fight in the UK even though according to you MR stooges

    "Ruiz will have to fight in the UK since he signed a contract which Eddie says happens in the uk"

    Al hayman made Eddie cough up and mugged him off.

    The only good news for you is that Joshua may well be allowed his TUE and personal ref who will call the action to a halt every time AJ spits his gum shield out and whenever Ruiz gets into his space.

    How do you work out that Al Hayman has mugged Hearn off ? Joshua is earning a shed load more.... Just think that through.... a challenger is earning around 2 thirds more than a undisputed champion. Well done Al - did your boy proud with that great bit of business !!! sure showed Hearn whos boss there :yaay

    Very well, let me remind you of a few words from your boy..

    Eddie Hearn

    ''I do believe the fight will take place on December 14th in Cardiff.


    He signed a contract with us that he was absolutely over the moon with, that gave him the opportunity of a lifetime. He will 100 per cent honor that contract.

    He just a thought Andy Ruiz Jr. in his country, in the US, I know he’s of Mexican descent but he lives in the US but this time he’s going to fight him in the UK.''

    So what happened? Why didn't it take place in the uk?

    And answer me this,

    Joshua said he wanted the fight in MSG, yet Eddie Hearn overrided his decision and insists it would have to happen in the uk and now he's made Joshua fight in the midday Saudi heat.

    I say this because I'm told that Eddie Hearn works for Joshua!

    In what work places can you step into dictate what your boss is going to do? If you are a boss and you have staff, does a member of your staff tell you what room you can work in? Can you tell your manager ‘’Hey boss, I know you would like to work in that indoors today, but you're going to work outside today’’

    Money happened. You’re deluded if you think the fight is in Saudi for anything other than the money. Ruiz May have wrangled a few more quid out the fight but it shows the contract was water tight that at one point he categorically denied he would be fighting there and categorically states it will be in the US and next minute he’s all in for Saudi.

    Who with common sense and logic, would deny money was the sole motive?

    I'm merely looking for answers directly from the Matchroom and Eddie Hearn lovers who believe in the fairy tale narrative that Joshua is in search for legacy and he alone is in control of his own destiny.

    I've always maintained that the entire goal of matchroom and their fighters is solely for money in cash out fights along with the reality that Eddie is the one pulling the strings to which point the fighters have little say on who and where they fight.
