Comments Thread For: Arum Reveals TV Plans For Fury-Joshua, Says It Likely Lands in Jeddah

[Blackstarr]

If Wilder wins arbitration, it' will be a binding decision. So that's why Fury, Arum and ESPN have to wait for the decision. The decision could very well be that Fury has to honor the contract that he signed.

So Arum advises you to wait another two weeks...

What you’re refusing to understand is that the decision will be binding with regards to whether Wilder is entitled to compensation, which would come from Top Rank, and NOT whether Fury is compelled to fight him. You’re getting the scope of the potential judgement completely wrong.

As such, any decision has no bearing on the AJ-Fury fight. Why is this so difficult to understand?

Even with a massive site fee from the saudi's who only have money to offer this fight , Eddie will be looking to sting the fans with a huge PPv fee from the 'dead PPv scene' It's a shame this fight has yet again ended up in a country that really hasn't got a clue and will not do it justice.

Eddie this, Eddie that..what is it with your constant obsession and trolling, did the man f*** your wife?

Why don’t you pick up your discontent with AJ and Fury? They were given the choice to fight in the UK but didn’t collectively agree to it - if they insisted, Hearn would do as told.

Besides, didn’t Fury confirm only just last month that he would never fight in the UK again - what do you say to this?

But no, continue hating on the one person that has been doing the most to deliver this fight - absolutely pitiful.

Nonsense. Even Wilder himself has stated that he won't be fighting Fury next. The arbitration is about whether or not he is entitled to financial compensation. That's all.

Arbitration isn’t the athletic commission ,they can’t force Fury to fight Wilder . The entire process is in fact a compensation case ,if Wilder was looking for a fight he goes straight into court and team Wilder doesn’t waste their or his time with the ongoing due process .

They’re not waiting on Wilder they are waiting on paper work to finalize the deal to make the announcement.

Honestly Hearn,DAZN and Joshua need to give the Saudis a huge discount. They paid a arm and a leg to host AJ-Ruiz 2 and it was a terrible fight, for all that money they blew I would assume they will learn from their mistakes.

i would tell team Joshua and team fury here’s a offer take it or leave it. They won’t make more $$$ if they don’t go it in Saudi Arabia so it takes for them to play hard ball with Arum and Hearns. Stop being gullible and put your foot down

Exactly this.

You mean the dudes brave enough to get in the ring and fight? Yeeeah, why am I not taking issue with them and not the lying parasite? Hmmm, I wonder...

Exactly this.

They aren’t competing with Hearn or Arum in negotiating the fight price ,they are competing with other sites by bidding on ,it and actually trying to convince both parties to stage it there so they have to give more , its not a take it or leave it situation and it’s certainly not a hard ball one either . The Saudis are willing to fork over the cash to stage the huge event , so no it’s not exactly this . That makes no sense what the other poster said .

No one is throwing money for the sake of throwing money, if this fight is a bad investment then its a bad investment. Who says they're even competing. I'm starting to get the impression that there isn't remotely as much interest in even staging this fight as they're suggesting. By and large, the boxing doesn't really care, likely because of covid. And because there isn't a unified sanctioning body/promotion like MMA has with the UFC, no one is interested in closed events as the backend proceeds from PPV's and gate revenue is how a ton of fighters and those on the periphery make their money. But even then I'm actually shocked at how little they care. This is an English affair. Its whether the Saudi's care enough about the "image benefits" so many claimed there were from hosting this fight the first time to do it the second time. Maybe there is and maybe there isn't. So far, on matters relating to this almost everything I have said has turned out right and everything you have said has been wrong, You were wrong about Fury fighting in December, wrong again about mediation not having an effect on Fury's willingness to finalise, wrong once more about this fight actually be agreed upon and likely wrong again here too.

I just don't know what world you live in. Its one where you pretty much reverberate every single ****ing thing Hearn says. I have no idea why. Hearn himself claimed 35 days ago that they had to agree to a site in 28 days. And now we're sitting here with Joshua as recently as last Wednesday saying that this fight would likely take place in the summer at Wembley and now Arum apparently saying it might be in Jeddah. I mean...what?

It’s not a bad investment it will bring a lot more cash elsewhere . You guys can pretend to be high ranking business men but you guys are forum people hating on subjects you know little about ,this is called trolling I guess ? I don’t recall anything you say turning out right just like the Ruiz vs A.J situation where you said Ruiz would force the fight where he wanted it ,. ,yea can’t think much anything you ever said being right ?

Hearn said 28 days because that’s what both sides wanted .

It seems obvious to me that if that if Fury/AJ happening was contingent on the result of Wilder's arbitration, then everybody concerned in trying to make Fury/AJ would have waited for the result of the arbitration before investing their time and effort. I'm not a Wilder fan though.
