What will come first: Wilder arbitration result? Or Fury-Joshua official announcement?

[kafkod]

Wasn't it Bob Arum who said "Yesterday I was lying but today I'm telling the truth?"

He said that as a joke when he was drunk, but no doubt he would lie if it benefited him and he thought he could get away with it. Lying about the arbitration wouldn't benefit him in any way though, so why would he do it and risk looking like a buffoon when the truth comes out?

He's not in negotiations with Wilder. That'd be 2 for 2 bud. I can say the same thing back and say it seems like Joshua can never make a deal with the WBC champion short of the WBC champion handing him the belt. We can all be dumb ****s if you want to be a dumb ****.

Why not just be rational and unbiased about AJ for once and say that he can't make a deal with the WBC champ unless the WBC champ wants to make a deal with him?

Arbitration announcement. Why are people still acting like this announcement isn't being held up by arbitration?

That was very well said! You are one of the very few people on here who actually gets it.

[champion4ever]

The Wilder arbitration result. The reason why the Fury/Joshua bout hasn't happened or been signed yet is because Team Fury is boxed in now. They can't make a move until they get this Deontay Wilder arbitration case resolved first.

Why not just be rational and unbiased about AJ for once and say that he can't make a deal with the WBC champ unless the WBC champ wants to make a deal with him?

You're just an if you don't agree with me let me explain your motives to you megalo-douchebag type bud.



This rabbit hole started out by me giving an example as to why I'd see AJ on top should the fight fall through.

Fury kids came a crying, I said I see their POV, you been crying ever since. The **** you want me to do? Echo your ass? I done told you I don't really give a **** which narrative you buy into. I done told you I can see AJ as top dog if the fight falls through. I done said I can see Fury as top dog is the fight falls through. I've been flopping like a fish, but, since I won't bite on narratives intentionally put into the media and agree with your interpretations of those narratives I'm the hardline mug here huh? ****ing projection son, eat a **** on this one Kaf.

Dear lord .. no wonder I was at a loss to understand where you were coming from on this. You were coming from 2 different places at the same time.

Here's where I'm coming from ... both sides want the fight and neither side is lying to the media or to the fans. Arum is telling the truth when he says the arbitration with Wilder won't stop Fury/AJ from happening, and Hearn is telling the truth when he says he's 100% sure the site fee money will be paid, in full.

Fury doesn't share Hearn and AJ's confidence in whoever it is that Eddie is dealing with in Saudi and he's worried about inactivity. He wants a cast iron guarantee that the money is there and he wants it fast. I won't blame Fury if he gets tired of waiting and goes in a different direction, but a lot of people out there will, because that's just the way they are. Other's will blame Hearn and AJ, because that's just the way they are.
