    "Omar Khalil, working for the Saudi agency delivering the event, said fans who purchase a ticket will automatically be issued a visa to visit the country".

    So no background checks or anything like that? How desperate they must be to get this fight.

    Hopefully Ruiz gets a bit more money. Hard to say how the £84mil is getting broken down but Ruiz should be getting more than £9mil if AJ is getting £50m+ irrespective of what was signed

    If a fighter, manager or promoter had that sort of attitude in the board room they would allow themselves to be pushed around.

    Now I remember Ward trashing his original rematch terms and drawing up a new contract for Kov II fight.
    But Kov felt robbed and wasn't willing to stall his career to go to court with Ward who was basically retired by then.

    So if Ruiz wants to bail on the contract he signed that's on him but it looks silly. They will go to court and no he will not get to fight Wilder instead of AJ.

    What I will say is Klitschkos got slated for their "slave contracts" they used to offer like 1 million quid for a voluntary and if you won you had a rematch and if ypu won that THEN you had to fight the other brother.

    Well what's good for the goose is good for the gander so if you slated Klitschkos for that then you can't give AJ a pass

    For most fighters they add value, it gets their name around and hopefully makes them popular.

    Guys like Joshua, Canelo and Mayweather before them will make big money regardless now. Joshua could make more money than 99% percent of boxers just putting on a sparring exhibition.

    Sh1t thinking about it, Mayweather actually did vs that Japanese kid.
