    Joshua ain't fighting Wilder. It will be Whyte. No way he takes on any dangerous opponent.

    60/40 seems reasonable to me. Both guys don’t have a lot of options in my opinion.

    Ruiz hadn’t left the local McDonalds between the two AJ fights and clearly forgot the directions to the gym.

    It all depends on what sort of condition he shows up in. Fit Ruiz gives Wilder a headache. Fat Ruiz gets KO’d inside 5.

    And this is why the HW division is stagnant right now. All the current champions and ex champions have gotten a taste of $10+ million in a fight and are expecting that much or more to fight each other.

    Ruiz has the best win out of the two of them. Beat Ortiz beat AJ, former unified champ.

    Why does Wilder deserve more? Wilder is hardly a massive draw.

    Wilder is the A side, ain't no way 50/50 is happening. I would expect something like 65/35.

    Wilder also struggled immensely vs Ortiz aswell.

    I agree though that it shouldn't be 50/50 I think 60/40 would be fair.

    Bro Wilder and Ruiz was ordered to fight since what? Last year? If Wilder wanted that fight, he would have already make it.
    There is a zero chance that Wilder, who was been ducking fighters all of his careers and never fight a fighter in his prime or close to it, will suddenly start taking any risk.
    And you got to have in mind that Ruiz is currently going through hell and lost tons of weight, and is probably not training. He is getting sued by his ex-wife, who wants to take everything from him, and Wilder still don't have the balls to fight him ....

    And then some trolls on here saying that Wilder will beat AJ, yeah good luck with that.
    There is level to this.

    Aha the bigger draw, the one that couldn't sell even 100k. for his return fight? Less than 75k. against Helenius. Never being a draw, never sold any big PPV number.
    Both he and Fury needing each other to sell some decent PPV.
    At least Fury can sold out arenas, Wilder can't even do that.
    Ruiz has huge Mexican fans behind him.
    This is a 50-50 or 60-40 at worst fight.

    You are a fair poster, and i like you, but hell explain me how the f*** that is fair offer?

    Wilder was one belt Champion, Ruiz was Unified Champion.
    Neither are Champion, they are number 1/2 in the division, so this is a true 50-50 fight.
    Also neither is a huge PPV star.

    Wilder sold less than 75k. PPV in his "BIG Return" fight. And if we looking at the total PPV numbers, it's going to be in Ruiz favor.

    In order to sell a good fight, you need 2 players.
    Currently no one in the HW division is the A side, maybe with the exception of AJ, cause he holds all the records in PPV, but he lost draw power, due to losing the titles.

    70-30 is a typical mandatory split with a champion and mandatory.

    Sorry, but this is a true 50-50, or at the best 55-45 split. And most probably should be 45-45 split, and the rest for the winner. Make it 40-40 and the rest for the winner is fair as well.

    The only thing Fury and Wilder run is away from Usyk

    This is The Dosser's one chance in a 46 fight and 15 year career to finally secure a win over a prime fighter above D level and his greed and delusions of grandeur are going to ruin his chances. Nobody knew he was outside of the hardest of hardcores prior to Belly Fury dragging him from obscurity

    And I mean in his own country

    This content is protected


    And all he's known for now is getting beaten like a dog x 2 (should be 3 times) on his own soil by the only prime fighter he's ever fought above C level and for the literally countless fantastical excuses he made after Belly beat him half to death.
