Comments Thread For: Warren Hopes Wilder Takes Less Than $20 Million To Step Aside

I don't think so. I think Fury could fight AJ, but he could not put his WBC belt on the line and the fight would not be for the undisputed title. And that's what the Saudi want. Remember when Linnox Lewis put his title belt in the trash and said he didn't need it? Well he went ahead and honored the rematch clause instead of giving up the title. Same thing here. Besides, no one can force Fury to Fight Wilder. They couldn't get an injunction in Saudi, so the fight would go on and Wilder could only get damages against Fury.

No, I don't ever remember Lennox Lewis putting his title belt in the trash.

I remember Rid**** Bowe doing that rather than fighting Lennox Lewis though.

Never in my life have I seen so many people completely brainwashed. These last couple of months have been nothing but lies. WAKE UP!!!

LOL! Anyone seen RobbieBarrett? The wannabe legal expert who for months proclaimed that the mediation/arbitration could not possibly affect the Fury/Aj fight? Complete with legal ramblings of why the contract did or did not have any stipulations that Wilder could point use to gain the 3rd fight.

I must say, Karma is amazing. All the Hearniacs will be crying for years over this one ... after they all were loud and abusive to anyone who tried to explain that contracts matter, and the contract may have to be satisfied ...

Live and learn kids.

Saudi’s spend more then that on toilet paper in their gold palaces. If that’s what it takes Hearn needs to get them to drop that bag in Alabama.
I think Wilder would take that if a guaranteed title shot is included.
Not sure AJ would have any interest in being obligated to that.

I don't think it's legal for AJ to be obligated as a third party in this way. Two fighters can have a rematch clause directly for themselves -- so Fury owes Wilder his fight from the rematch clause from their two-fight series. It's nothing to do with AJ though. If Fury fought AJ and Fury loses, there is no way to foist that obligation to fight Wilder on to AJ (as I understand it).

If you're Wilder, 50 mil or no deal. As AJ-Fury will prob be a trilogy fight.

Why, so everyone can say he's ducking and didn't really want it?

I get it's smart business...but if I'm Wilder and I know I can beat Fury this time...nah, I take $20 million since Warren put it out there, go out there and do what I think I can do, THEN demand huge money to fight Joshua.

[Reverb]

"I hope Deontay will accept less than 20 million." That's got to hurt, having to say that when you want a guy to just sit on his ass.
What is the current record for step aside money anyway?

I couldn't help but chuckle, a lot, since hearing about this monumental mess.

I guess you are at a loss for words today? You **** yourself as you know a 3rd and final beating of the Bumsquad is coming. Why are you riding Tszyu's nuts so hard always got his picture there, seems kinda odd?

If Fury hadn’t gotten a 15-count in the first fight - from a referee who bizarrely insisted on doing a 10-count over a guy.who was clearly knocked out cold - there would have been no second Wilder-Fury fight. Wilder did everything wrong in that second fight: overweight, obviously unfocused. I have a feeling the Fury sycophants are so angry because they fear what may happen in a third fight.

So Arum admits that a July 24 date was in the cards. If the decision went Wilder’s way… There you have it so all those people crapping on Arum & Warren for “not doing anything” or ripping them when they tell Hearn to STFU with the daily announcements of the fight. Shelly Finkel doesn’t look so ****** now does he? All you keyboard lawyers & know it alls look so smart now. Eddie Hearn looks like a complete moron again… couldn’t get Joshua/Wilder finalized nor could he get Fury/Joshua finalized. Fury & Joshua could have already got their mandatories out of the way & fought at years end if they won. Arum & Team Fury are just as much to blame as they tried to screw Wilder over. They tried to avoid the rematch they were contracted to give Wilder. Hearn should have known better to start the ball rolling before a decision was finalized in the court challenge.
