Comments Thread For: Arum Frustrated: Hearn 'Radio Silent' on Fury-Joshua Site Deal, Fury Might Fight Wilder Next!

[mxtali]

That’s why every big fight with AJ does not get made. Hearn

Which fights would those be? Wilder admitted he turned down a bigger money offer to fight AJ. And we see he’s trying hard to make the Fury fight.

At this point, if this deal doesn't get done. it's because one or the other team doesn't want to get it done.

Just seems like a one way street here. Arum and warren aren’t even trying to make this fight. All the responsibility is on Hearn to deliver the fight when AJ is a bigger draw and star than fury.

A frustrated Top Rank chairman Bob Arum told BoxingScene on Monday that he would not be surprised if plans for the all-British undisputed heavyweight championship fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua, in the works for late July or early August in Saudi Arabia, fall apart and that Fury next winds up facing former world titleholder Deontay Wilder for the third time.

Arum and Warren doing the square root of f**k all to make it happen. Hearn doing all the work. No reason for it not to get done, and not surprising that it is taking time.
It's one of the biggest fights ever, and the fighters want a king's ransom, it's covid, there are several countries vying to host it. You had Fury's situation with Wilder, and plenty of other unusual stuff. The supposed boxing fans on here who don't want this to happen are really not boxing fans - they are fans of their skin colour or of their country.
I'm a boxing fan and I wanna see it. Joshua, by the way, will expose Furyike Fury did Wilder- and I think Fury knows this.

How could anyone doubt which guy wants it? Fury is crapping himself and AJ still trying to get it done. Like Wilder, Fury may wriggle out with excuses. The only guys at HW who are real are AJ, Whyte, Povetkin, Parker and some of the prospects. These duckers are doing my head in, and the 'fans' that fall for their lies are dumb as a post.

From what I see on Fury himself he thinks the fight is happening even posted himself in Vegas high energy with Sugar Hill I got the impression it’s on I would go on that considering he and Hearn actually met and discussed it recently . Fury calls the shots more then anyone just cause he thinks he’s running the show and it’s about him as he should but Joshua is the money man .

I hope so.

That's what it was gonna be this whole time. AJ vs Usyk because they owe Usyk after trying to cheat him and that's why he's not fighting Joyce. And Wilder is owed a trilogy contractually agreement. And besides the Fury vs AJ fight cant make as much money during a pandemic.

Except the deal never guaranteed Wilder an aj fight. AJ lost his belts when fat Mexican beat the black out of him. So fight could of never happened, let alone be guaranteed contractually

It was a 3 fight deal, Wilder's mandatory defence against Breazeale, then 2 fights with AJ. So yes, it did guarantee Wilder 2 AJ fights, provided he beat Breazeale. of course.

Referring to something that happened 4 months later as a valid reason for Wilder turning down that offer is unbelievably dumb and irrational.

By this crazy "logic" no fight could ever be contractually guaranteed. What if somebody signed a contract then fell down the stairs and broke his neck? What if he was involved in a car crash? What if he had a career ending injury in training, like Pirog after he signed to fight GGG?

Wrong again. AJ was booked to fight Roly poly Mexican when this mythic deal went down. With rematch clauses that meant it was a multi fight deal. Leaving no room for 2 Wilder fights.

Not sure how Eddie could contractually guarantee a unification title fight, when AJ had no belts... lol

No one in history of boxing has created a contract to fight someone several fights in the future. For obvious reasons. Get a clue... ya aj nut sucker
