Other than Canelo fights it's pretty much unheard of for big Vegas arenas to be sold out nowadays. Fury's last fight only did 5,000 so can't imagine it being too much of a problem to get tickets whilst you're over there.

Cheers mate. Think we’ll try and get them in advance if we can still, but that makes me more confident about getting in and not having to pay over the odds. I was half expecting Canelo to be fighting as it’s a Mexican holiday weekend.

You'll easily get tickets mate, wouldn't worry.
Looks like Rivas due to sue Whyte, Matchroom and UKAD

What was the actual decision of the court though? Fight him, or "if you break this contract, you will have to pay £10m to Mr Lewis" ?
If I sign a contract to write a website, and I decide not to bother, a court can't MAKE me do it - the other person can only sue me for damages.
Why would the orgs care about a private contract between 2 adults? They simply order the mandatory fights, and sanction the others.
As for a "false premise", that's just words. Words mean nothing.
If an org thinks AJ deserves a rematch, they can order it. Just like they did for Tyson after the draw. The IBF are looking to strip Ruiz if he DOES have the rematch, as it goes against their ethos!

I don't doubt AJ can sue him for ~£100m if he has a tight contract. And that'll probably make the fight happen. But that's another matter entirely.

It's not a private contract between two fighters though. The sanctioning bodies are, as with other relevant parties, part of said contract.
False premise isn't just words. He signed a contract on the premise that had he won, a rematch should take place next. You can't just agree to everything to get what you want, then refuse to uphold the very deal you negotiated in order to become champion.

It is just outisde Riyadh, having lived there for a couple of years the temperature will not be a concern, in December it often gets quite chilly at night and is often cold enough to require wearing a jacket.

Is it Jeddah I'm thinking of?

How can that be the case, if the IBF are going to strip him if he does have the rematch?

Yeah Jeddah stays quite hot all year round

Don't blame Ruiz for stalling if he's getting 9m to Joshua's 60m, considering he beat him up last time round, thought the reason Joshua never went in with Wilder/Fury is because he wanted more money himself.
Anyway hopefully Haymon can work something, rather see the belts get split up tbh.

Just loads of rumours
Actually, splitting the belts up might lead to better fights. Bizarrely.

Of course you can blame him though, that is if it's true that $9M was in the initial contract and isn't less (which I highly doubt).

Curnts tricks, he was given a life changing opportunity and paid life changing money for it....signed up. But no surprise in boxing.
He will be being advised but boxers have less morals than promoters once they get a taste.
Seems like all bullshit ref Ruiz as press conference is live this afternoon.
Well done Ruiz!!!
