Comments Thread For: Arum on Fury-Joshua: Fight is 'Dead in The Water' For July, August

[DaNeutral.]

Please...undisputed or not, nobody is paying for a fight at 3 pm with 2 fighters they don't know. This fight does less than Bud Crawford does on ppv.

Fighters they don't know? Joshua sold out MSG and Fury Wilder did great. Ruiz would of never sold out a venue like that or he would of. Wilder never did those without Fury. I'd say both fighters are well known. I'm not agreeing it would do 500k in PPV's but let's not pretend they are total unknowns.

[STREET CLEANER]

Fury could be the greatest heavyweight in history but we'll never know because he'll be fighting the undefeated #58 Peter Kadiru after another 2 year hiatus while Wilder is still sitting at home twerking and figuring out how his corner managed to inject drugs directly into his superhero costume while Joshua is content to avoid Ruiz, Fury, and Wilder while negotiating his latest Eurohype fight in a 30x30 ring in Saudi Arabia while Ruiz can't decide if he's motivated to fight another aging contender from 10 years ago or eat another aged brisket that's been slow cooking for 10 hours while Whyte continues demanding a title fight after getting brutally knocked out by his latest 40+ year old cherrypick gone wrong.

LOL, post of the week.

Where did I say Bob was telling the truth?

Work on your comprehension kid.

Why don't You work on your boxing Facts kid!

Hearn implied “terms were agreed” in June 2020. They evidently were not. What’s non-factual?

I bet you’re paying £20 to watch Chisora tomorrow aren’t you?

Always Arum holding up big fights...Always

Yeah, you're right. It was $120 million.

No Wilder was not offered 120 millions to fight AJ, get your facts straight.

[KnickTillDeaTh]

He was offered 20 million to fight brezeale, and 40 million each for two fights with wilder, and he/they turned it down

Yes, so he was offered 80 million to fight AJ not 100 million. This is kindergarten math FFS. You guys type 100 million which not only is it not true, you don't even realize that the offer didn't include a split of PPV. AJ would get 100% of the skysports PPV while Wilder gets 40 million flat. keep trying to make that offer sound legitimate, the facts don't support your BS, neither does the person who made the offer/s

[KnickTillDeaTh]

I have a theory...Hearn/AJ are keen to make the fight next because to them Fury's inactivity is a significant advantage. Fury/Bob were open to it if it's in July but now that seems very unlikely, they'd rather have another fight first before going in with AJ.

If AJ ends up defending against Usyk and Fury has his third fight against Wilder, inactivity won't be an issue anymore. I wonder if Eddie would still be as keen to make the fight?

Good assessment. I think there are more complicated factors, like the Wilder Arbitration, but what you wrote is absolutely a factor.

[KnickTillDeaTh]

Joshua-Fury will be US PPV. Joshua isn't in Hearns DAZN deal.

AJ fights on DAZN on a fight by fight basis. ESPN would put this on there APP with an additional fee to watch, more than likely in conjunction with DAZN. Likelihood of a US PPV is very slim. If you think DAZN is just going to step aside and let this fight be all in ESPNs hands, you're crazy my friend.

Fight by fight basis. That means DAZN has no rights for the fight. Unless DAZN makes a huge offer it will be PPV on ESPN. Why would ESPN want to give up exclusive rights for DAZN?
