Ruiz $9 Million / AJ $60 Million - Ruiz to be stripped of belts

[Mark TKO]

Aj getting nearly 7 times what ruiz is getting?

This pisses me off. I'm all for rematch clauses but no way a challenger should get more.

I like AJ but not a huge fan, and I'm liking the way ruiz is coming across. I also want to see fury school Joshua but it could be I start to root for Ruiz here - who I do expect to win still.

Ruiz can't start bitching now because he's already signed the original contract and agreed the rematch split $$ which is why I think he'll pull out and be stripped.

[Fenster]

The figures are nonsense (unverifiable), click-bait, AJ won't be getting close to that amount.

1st fight - it was reported AJ got $35m to Ruiz $5 million (7-times more).

2nd fight - it is reported Ruiz will get $9 million, it doesn't take a genuis to multiply 9-by-7 - $63m. If Ruiz purse was reported as $20m these same fake guessers would be reporting AJ's is $140m.

[Mark TKO]

Didn't know rematch clauses had purse split agreements in them. That should be negotiable.

I do get it that hearn gave him the shot mind.

If this fight falls through its another major fuck up for the sport.

The Saudis have pumped a SHITLOAD of dollars into this fight, they're building a brand new outdoor open air arena just for the fight so i reckon the figures are easily about right.

Ruiz would be a fool if he does refuse to fight.

Do you have a source for this AJ $60m/Ruiz $9m?

The first reports came from twitter, that Saudi Arabia paid Hearn a $40 million site fee (Hearn laughed, saying "we wish").

I think Whyte turned down the bout against AJ because they were dictating what Whyte would get if he won and there was a rematch which I agree is wrong as your earning/power goes up considerably if Whyte won. These contracts are wrong and unfair.

[Mark TKO]

Yep. It's like you've got to beat the guy twice to be the big earner. Yet if you lose the rematch you'd be frozen out and no chance of a rubber.

It will be silly money though and ruiz should take it but I'd have a problem accepting less money than AJ. Let alone significantly less which it looks like - though not confirmed.

That would be a tough one, for Ruiz to ask for parity against AJ but no harm in getting a fairer proportion of the crazy money being offered by these billionaires.

Does anyone remember the last Matchroom/AJ negotiation that wasn’t a $hit$how?

Another excuse for refusing the Joshua rematch was they gave Whyte just 13 weeks to train instead of his ideal 14 weeks.

That was his final excuse, anyway.
