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

[Corelone]

The Arabs are balking. They're still trying to figure out what to do with the Andy arena in the dunes. They can get this thing for 50 mil, or less. The Wilder 100 mil was an overbid to make 50 mil look unacceptable. 150 mil is an exaggeration on the 100 mil, but it never happened. Somebody is fabricating.

Fast forward to this time next year and we will probably still be in the same position.

Hearn - "Secretly Bob don't want me to get the deal, because i'm going to say what did you do? Nothing, just sat in bed and said hurry up Eddie you're running out of time."

[Bob]

Bob's a 90 year old fossil stoner & can't even remember meeting Edward last week.
This deal isn't about the undesputed fight any more its about Edwards ego making the deal & the money involved.
If it was about boxing at all the fight would have happened already. Its been 11 months since they signed to fight.
All promoter's are filth alway's delaying & marrinating to the detriment of the sport.

Lol. Eddie lied about 100 million, and only got 60 million for Ruiz. Fury-Wilder2 did damn near 20 in gate revenue, and nearly 80 on ppv without a hitch....

Trust Eddie, or go with the sure bet?

And still they couldn't even breakeven according Bob Arum. You untelligent fanboys are always embarrassing yourself in the public place, unknowingly.

I guess that contract didn't expired.... thought fury will never fight wilder again due to slander... looks like I was lying yesterday but today I'm telling the truth all over again smh

Has felt like TR and the Fury side has been stalling for a while, hoping to drag it out and that it won't get done. Don't think Fury wants it next, feels he probably loses unless he can get a tune-up first

according to Eddie yesterday, there’s no stalling from anyone’s side and everyone is on board. If he thought they’re stalling, he wouldn’t say that. He’s in contact with lawyers for both fighters, As they’ve given the go ahead to make it.

eddie said 2 weeks ago there was 6 offers from site fees , then Joshua said days later there only 1 offer. 6 or 1? Big difference

who knows really. I believe both fighters want it at least.

It seems like making any worthwhile high-profile fight is like getting a tooth pulled. No wonder this sport is swirling down the U-bend.

Only?

He got over $40 mil site fee.
1.5 mil UK PPVs (around $35 each) = $52.5 mil

So Joshua-Ruiz 2 raked in near enough the same as Fury-Wilder without US PPV. Fantastic numbers. Well done Eddie.

Edit: Seems you're the liar. Fury-Wilder 2 did a $16.9 mil gate and 800k buys at $79.99. That's around $80.9 mil not 100. OOOooopppsss

Forgot about that actually. Maybe Wilder won in court.

It's not in court.
