By Keith Idec - Andy Ruiz Jr. overcame a knockdown and additional trouble Saturday night to avoid ending up on the wrong end of a huge upset. Ruiz got up from a second-round knockdown, recovered from Chris Arreola's left hook early in the third round and beat the veteran heavyweight by unanimous decision in their 12-rounder at Dignity Health Sports Park in Carson, California. Judges Lou Moret (118-109), Pat Russell (118-109) and Zachary Young (117-110) scored their bout by wide distances for Ruiz, who was listed by most Internet sports books as a 25-1 favorite entering their FOX Sports Pay-Per-View main event.

It shouldn't be PPV.

[TonyHaye]

How on earth can this fight be PPV? I mean they never share the real numbers anyway but there is no way this fight even breaks even. Entirely pointless making this PPV.
