All done for leverage in negotiations.
It will also disrupt the training of any potential opponent as they'll feel like they can ease off the gas now until they get a new fight signed.
Smart move on McGregor's part.
However if he is genuinely retired then good luck to him, he made a lot of money and has set himself and his family up for life.
Oh wow... I'm willing to bet that this comment threat quickly turns into the retarded comment thread in the history of boxingscene.
I remember I used to read boxing news 24 and there was a poster that went by the name of 'the bearcat' and this is exactly his type of thread.
Anyway, Fury is irrelevant and he knows it. He is simply trying to appease a certain fanbase including his own to get more people on his side.
Y’all don’t see through the bull**** yet? He’s willing to wait for the Whyte fight which takes place December 22th weeks later than the fight and have no issue waiting on him. However wants Wilder to agree to something when he fights December 1st and can negotiate after the fight. Why they not forcing Whyte to agree to anything when his fight is much later? If folks don’t see through the bull**** and can’t figure out Whyte is his opponent all along and they sitting up new games and excuses i don’t know what to tell you.
Simply because Whyte is easy to deal with. Both Matchroom fighters and Whyte understands he is the b-side and will accept what offer is given to him. - He knows better than to bite the hand that feeds.
Negotiating with Wilder will be more difficult due to the inability to agree on a financial split. It will be especially difficult when he beats Fury... So they want to agree it all now so that after the Fury fight they don't lose a couple of months of potential promotion time with negotiations.
If it happens then Wilder stops him early, might take him a round or so to find an opening but when he does he is going to send this Brit back into oblivion!
how long till the Wilder bathwater drinkers get here to defend his honour you reckon?
No idea but I can't wait. They can't handle the truth...
The same way Wilder won't be able to handle fighting a competent fighter like AJ who can box, brawl and recover when hurt without needing the referee to give him a extra couple of minutes rest... All infront of 100k roaring AJ fans for a flat flee of $15m which is $10m more than that chump deserves... No wonder he lost his pen I completely understand his cowardice if I'm honest... Americans in general are all loudmouth cowards who simply think they win an argument automatically by shouting the loudest... WRONG!!!!!
I was in Dallas last year and your typical yank (ugly, retarded fat ****) was spouting **** over parking (he was in the wrong, as American's typically are) and as soon as I walked towards him he bottled it. Just as I imagine Wilder does as soon as he gets a contract for a tough fight put to him.
Maybe when he sells his belt to AJ he can go and fight for the Alabama bucktooth title in a barn somewhere.
Suppose with the money he'll make he might just be able to afford to put himself through elementary school so he can learn to spell his name... scrap that comment he'd need at least 30% more for that. the greedy ****er.
British Humour ey!
I predict a draw. I just had a feeling that Parker is going to nick it in the eyes of the fans but it will end in controversy.
It doesn't make sense commercially for either one of these fighters to have another loss on their records (especially Parker. Having back to back losses will push him down the rankings), a draw will preserve their records, also sets up a bigger rematch in April for them... A decent little undercard fight for AJ -v- Wilder - 4 well known heavyweights fighting in a stadium.
Well 3 and then Wilder.
All just posturing. I remember this pikey scum saying that if he was to fight AJ the financial split would be 50/50 so he's changed his tune.
Notice how Wilder hasn't said a word in respect of these negotiations.... What does that tell you people?
I think Wlad came at AJ because he didn't pull the trigger with Fury. I believe if he fought Fury in a rematch it would've looked different. Wlad fought like he was waiting for the perfect shot, instead of trying to create the opportunity for it. When Wlad got in with AJ he refused to make the same mistake again so he let his hands go. Wilder has a decent jab, good hand, and foot speed, and a long reach. If Fury was a lefty I wouldn't give Wilder a shot, because he'd nullify Wilder's jab like Ortiz did. I think Wilder will be able to land that one shot he needs, mainly because he never gets discouraged and Fury will win most of the early rounds.
I've always maintained that the Vlad that showed up against AJ would have finished off any other heavyweight. The shot he dropped AJ with would have put anyone down.
Wilder flattens everyone bar AJ & Chisora.
With all the relevant heavyweights showing up you will be able to see actual £ signs in Hearns eyes and a rock hard stonk on! No amount of booing will send that bad boy floppy.
Unconfirmed reports that the AJ v Wilder fight has been agreed and will be announced next week at a Press conference in Cardiff. Fight date: Saturday 27th October! :boxing::boxing::boxing:
Mike Tyson would beat Wilder today, let alone in his Prime. I imagine it playing out very Similar the Sammy Scaff fight or possible even Peter McNeely fight.
Wilder is a protected fighter with one average win against an old Cuban who nearly stopped him.
This failed basketball player needs to sign on the dotted line, come to the UK, hand over his belt and get back to the land of nailing your mother, daughter, auntie, cats cousin with a nice healthy bank account.
Firstly he is hyping his win up massively. He deserves credit but this is ridiculous!
Secondly AJ has a fight in the coming weeks so not point even starting negotiations.
Thirdly I doubt he is scared to fight you, he has openly stated he wants to unify, Wilder will get his shot he will just have to wait unfortunately. These things always take longer than expected.
I hope Brooks plan comes off but we need to see if that he still has the confidence he had before both his eye sockets where destroyed. Hope he doesn't become gun shy because he is a good fighter... I mainly just want to see him smash Khan!:banana:
Frampton needs to look good in this fight. He's looked a little past his best in his 2 previous outings. Hopefully with a new team around him he'll have a new lease of life:boxing:
Shame we can't have a third event on that night: Warren v Hearn. I'd have to give the edge to Hearn due to his youth and the fact he has a few amateur bouts in is earlier days. Old fish eyes is a sneaky one though so it's a close fight!:boxing:
Why is it always Hearn pushing for the unification and making the offers?
Apart from coming out in the media and saying '50/50 or no fight' how come Finkel or someone from Wilder's team actually send a formal offer or contract as a starting point?
I can see this sort of headline becoming a daily occurrence until the lying, fat, coke head, drug cheat gets flattened. Old fish eyes is just trying to build him up again.
