Arum Fury playing Hearn so they can embarrass him as a bumbling fool???

[Monzon99]

Eddie Hearn is running around working like a madman trying to make Fury vs Joshua, while Arum and Fury sit back and give mixed messages, dropping hints the fight won't happen.

It almost seems like Arum is manipulating a scheme to secretly blow up the fight so he can laugh and mock Hearn publicly and then portray him as a bumbling inexperienced stooge, to destroy his credibility and thus severely damage Joshua.

Meanwhile Arum and Fury will hire wilder again, leaving Joshua looking like a big dumb fumbling idiot who will have to fight Usyk.

I'd trust Bob Arum as far as I can kick him.

Do you know how much money Arum, Top rank and Fury wouldn't gain if the fight doesn't happen? So yeah this isn't just about to "Laugh and mock Hearn"

[KingGilgamesh]

Arum and Fury are both leagues (and I mean ****ING leagues) smarter than Hearn so it wouldn't shock me.

Same could be said about AJ/Wilder before this though, and that was arguably an even bigger potential money maker.

Fury has defeated Wilder making the undisputed far bigger now . One of the 3 top guys was defeated by another . Two remain ,one is out the door making outlandish remarks while the the entire boxing community is waiting for the official announcement of Fury vs Joshua . This fight would dwarf the Wilder vs Joshua fight and will if it comes through . I can’t see it not happening with this much money being thrown around because Wilder learned the hard way by declining DAZN offers and both teams know another lost opportunity is possible.

Wouldn't call Fury smart, just well taught in deceiving and thieving from a young age.

Slightly different, Fury has a recognised promoter and network. They want and need the money from this fight. No other fight out there makes them this kind of money, with the 50-50 PPV on offer etc.

The Wilder one was slightly different because he doesn’t have a network deal, nor does he have a promoter deal. He had an adviser who uses him as a bait to enrich his own businesses.

Arum isn’t doing the same there, he already had a deal for Fury via ESPN, and they need to make the monies that they invested in him back. So he is willing to work and make money, and he is a business man, he isn’t emotional enough to want a deal like this dead because it would make someone else look like a plonker.

You got to be smart to outsmart Haymon, Finkel and Wilder altogether. What Fury did there was genius... You got to give him that credit... C’mon Son!!! They thought they were picking a cherry
