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

[smashup]

Read this on a few sites today; Joshua gets a huge slice of the pie $$ for the rematch and Ruiz point blank won't fight anywhere but the US/Mexico.

Ruiz team seem to think there's "another contract" they've yet to sign for this rematch.?

Long story short if Ruiz refuses to fight he'll be out of action and lose his belts.

I don't think this fight will happen 😉

If Eddie can do press conferences to announce fights without fighters the next step is obvious. Eddie can do the fight without fighters.

Let’s not be silly, if the IBF just granted him an exemption to fight Joshua then Ruiz is doing his proper paperwork. It’s evidence he intends to fight Joshua otherwise he wouldn’t bother filing with the IBF. Eddie, and more importantly the wildly inept DAZN people, need to step up and make the fight happen. They desperately need Ruiz, so pay like desperate people pay and everyone is happy

Yup rematch clauses are insurance policies....you didn't realize this? This is all a part of the game.

I think that Ruiz is going to accept. He just said that he wanted it to be in the US or Mexico. He wouldn’t turn down that big of payday. He also went into the first fight knowing that in case of a rematch, he has no say in the venue.

Used to be I didn't care who won. Now the more I read the more I'd love for the 2nd fight to end just like the 1st fight or worse.

I was rooting for AJ to win the rematch destructively because I want the AJ/Wilder fight to happen. But Eddie is such a constant lying dirtbag.... Hard not to root against all his fighters. In the end I will root for AJ, but phony AJ and Eddie make it hard.

I agree, I think Ruiz wants a bigger slice of the pie and I think he will get it.
