What was he supposed to do? Put the fight off for months to help Wilder. Boxers and their teams can't worry about that. Every big fight hurts every other big fight if the dates are close. If boxers went out of their way not to have a big fight near the time of another boxer's big fight then no big fights would ever get made. Wilder and Fury will still make big money. They won't starve.
What you talking about there is no Wilder Fury fight just bull**** to keep them in the Headlines and keep fools like you happy.
I think it was probably going to happen in December. Not a sure thing, but a probability.
Now? Not so sure. That Vegas site fee has probably been put on hold.
No no no no no no. You are now missing the point. Wilder/Fury would take place a month BEFORE Mayweather/Pacquiao not a month AFTER.

Okay, we'll just disagree on that.
Personally, if I invite buddies over to watch May/Pac 2, it's going to be tough to convince them to stay in a month later to watch Wilder/Fury.

I don't think so. They are going a month before not a month after. The PPV that is usually affected is the one that happens AFTER a prior months PPV. That's what upset DLH and GBP last August when Mayweather/McGregor took place in August and they had to go in Septemver after 4.4 million buys.

Wilder/Fury buys would be absolutely atrocious if they went a month before Mayweather.
Gotta remember, these guys are about money.

I thought Manny couldn't fight in the US because of his taxes. Where would the fight even take place? Floyd will never fight out of Vegas. He was supposed to fight in the octagon too remember that?
This isn't happening in December. If it happens in January, then it won't stop Wilder/Fury from happening. If anything, it stops Spence/Garcia from happening as that fight likely gets pushed to January due to Wilder/Fury being in December.

If it happens in December or January, then it absolutely does.
That's a big if though.

Rematch may happen who knows. But this surely isn't going to kill the Wilder/Fury fight.

Floyd is a fughin' genius. EAZY money for both fighters & the casual will eat it up.
Money beats that azz easier... or May lays down for a trilogy. (Either way... Mo $$$)
Yeah I agree they just throwing dates out of the blue but I could see a rematch happening tbh. Easy money grab for both of them. They at the end of their career so another payday wouldn't hurt.

Pacquaio will square his tax bill and the fight will be in Vegas. 0% chance Floyd fights outside of Vegas. ZERO.
I think it will be in Vegas to if it happens but that was response to the hypothetical of Floyd fighting overseas.
Okay let's say he will fight overseas for this. Where exactly would the fight take place at? Which venue holds the fight? Who puts the money up for the fight? You think all that gets agreed to within a month? Fight would have to be done first two weeks of October for it to happen in December. Not happening…. At least not in 2018.
