He's been presented with the perfect way out... If he has any type of team around him, they will surely MAKE him take this route.
He gets paid a lot of money for nothing, gets to regroup and get paid more money to knock out a tomato can and get some confidence back and can quickly re-establish himself as the only threat to the winner of Fury-Joshua.
Taking two vicious beatings from Fury in the same year will finish his career... The way he is talking since his loss, he isn't ready to share another promotion with Fury let alone share a ring with him!
Fair point around the financials...
It's just a shame this rematch clause exists...
Be like if Hatton had one after Money put a beating on him, or Prince Naseem after Barrera beat him up for 12 rounds.... Pointless running fights like that back
Except it's not.
Fury will always be the better pure boxer, but let's not kid ourselves.
Wilder was landing with his jab, Wilder was willing to throw this time, and Fury couldn't do anything with Wilder for 4 rounds after having him ****ed.
Hatton lost, but let's not act like it was just one-way action in the fight.

Fury wasn't the champ though...
Stop dreaming, he won`t get any "step aside" money if he doesn`t fight Fury again. Contract about Wilder and Fury fights doesn`t say anything about Joshua.
Except its being reported by various media outlets (ESPN and FoxSports) that Fury ISN'T REQUIRED to sign the rematch clause and its his choice to opt out.
Stepping aside then hoping to face the loser? I'm not seeing it. Better to take another beating get another big check and go home to Alabama.
I agree and he'll be better remembered for doing it. He'll retire rich with a legacy:
World HW Title for 5 years
41 Wins
40 KOs
2 Losses which were both to a great fighter.
1 Draw
Hall of Fame numbers for sure
Yes it is in Wilder's best interest to fight Fury again and then retire.
Wilder and PBC have no choice but to take the rematch, it’s sink of swim. They cause this themselves due to the politics they played. Now that could bite them in the ass if they don’t win back the belts or try to.

If Wilder is looking for the easy way out then I do agree with you. However if he is interested in leaving a favorable legacy he has to fight Fury again. Another loss to Fury doesn't harm his legacy as he could then retire with a record of 41-2-1 with 40 knockouts and the two losses would be to the same man, a great fighter who just happened to have Wilder's number (at least that is what people will remember). Let's face it, if Wilder chooses another path his legacy will be damaged. One more loss to Fury won't hurt his legacy and the financial compensation is better than step aside money. Losses to men other than Fury could keep Deontay out of the HOF while having held a world championship title for five years with a 41-2-1 record with 40 KOs and both losses to the same man won't.
Not arguing just curious did he not do the rematch with Bradley n pac man str8 away?? Can’t remember
I can't remember either but you're probably right. He doesn't like doing them though, prefers to build them up.
I remember him touching on the subject years ago and the numbers actually backed his argument.
I'm not even sure they have to, to make Fury-Joshua first. No one ever said anything about how immediate the rematch would be. I'm sure if Wilder takes the rematch it'll be his next fight but that doesn't necessarily mean Fury can't fight in the interim while Wilder gets his **** together.
Thing is Josh just made a deal with Usyk to fight Pulev first and still have time for the wbo mando later didn't he? I'm not sure Pulev would do a favor or that Usyk will do another.
This is a good point. Bob's never been one for immediate rematches.
It'd be down to Hearn and Arum to pacify Usyk and Pulev, but I do think that the trilogy is most likely.
We'll get the initial PPV range in about two weeks (traditional PPV count is undercut by the fact that both Fox Sports and ESPN were also selling the PPV direct to consumer), but if Wilder-Fury 2 did get to 1m PPV buys, you're looking at $45m+ for the US TV, $15m+ on the live event, maybe another $15m+ for the UK TV, sponsors, etc.
Wilder's piece of the take could end up being $50m+ (split in his camp).
The third fight could be worth $30m+, simply speculating right now with incomplete information.
Wilder was spent after 3 rounds, and Fury still couldn't get him out of there, lol. (And a nice joke with that vicious beating talk, lol).
Does Fury have $25m to pay Wilder to step aside, then pay Arum his 30%, and then pay Warren his percentage too? Unlikely, lol

You couldn't add any of this information in your post?
Bro, it would've been quicker to Google it than type that response tho?? Now were both wasting time...

Couldn’t agree more. It’s a lucky stroke for Wilder. Take it, Deontay!
Hey man, great avatar pic.
But you guys with this new age mentality about boxing just kills me. Taking one loss and your career is over. It’s hilarious and it’s insulting. I know barely any of you ever saw the old school way fighters acted when they won and lost, but good lord were in need of some humble fighters to re-educate everyone.
Wilder can defeat Fury and Fury can defeat Wilder.
Anyone who would be upset for Wilder to exercise a rematch clause is silly. It’s completely up to Wilder and his team. So many kids run their mouth on this forum because they don’t respect boxing. Not saying you don’t, but there’s a lot here that don’t even understand what they’re saying.
Champions come back from these type of defeats. Let him decide if he wants to be a champion.
