Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder Won't Take Step-Aside Deal To Allow Fury-Joshua, Says Scott

[FLY TY]

Oh well. This should get rid of half you trolls on here. Step aside money!

I guess Eddie Hearn, world's greatest promoter, can promptly get to work on the Usyk fight, unless AJ drops the belt to fight another bum. And Fury can get busy deciding whether he wants to retire, or die.

He won't take any step asside money! He's in the same cash out mode as Errol Spence.. Step asside $ is fraction of what he could get for getting knocked out again. I say knocked out again because he made apoint of saying he doesnèt need skill cause he has power lol.

What's the point of offering step aside money when Fury and AJ TECHNICALLY have no contractual obligation? I'm fighting Wilder if I'm Fury at this point. Revisit site fees / other Venues for the AJ fight for the Fall. I think what everyone (involved with AJ & Fury) ultimately want is the appeal to the UK audience. By December though shouldn't the UK be open enough to pack crowds? I mean we're just coming off 70K attendance at AT&T (in the US). Do they not think by December that Wembley (or any other Stadium) wouldn't be able to pack THAT many people? From what I gather the fight in Saudi was only going to host 20K people with an obvious HUGE fee for tickets. It just seems the aura at Wembley (by December if both win their upcoming fights) would be on historic levels of anticipation.

I wouldn’t mind watching Wilder get brain damage on live tv again. Hopefully Fury gets him out of the sport for good this time around.

something tells me however that wilder wants the money lol

[DaNeutral.]

Well odlfcourse he isn't, the thing he does best is refuse, stop or block undisputed. This will be about the 8th time he has done it.

Not that I blame him on this occasion.

Should take the step aside money and take the winner for undisputed if possible. From a business standpoint it’s the best way to maximize his monetary gains. Wilder has a punchers chance but that’s about it.

He's going to take the step aside one way or another. Courts cannot make Fury fight wilder, they can only make him pay, in the form of damages, for not fighting him which would be a breach of contract. But what would that be? 40 mi in damages?. And that's what they would pay him to step aside. Saudi's down care about an injunction issued in the U.S., they would pay the money anyway, and Fury would be liable for the damages. Wilder can not stop the Fury/A.J. fight, he can only get paid for it taking place. The only problem is that the WBC would not be allowed to sanction the fight, so it would not be for the undisputed championship, and punitive damages could be granted.

Exactly...

Wilder should take the fortune in step aside money and prolong his options/career. Eight kids to four different women spends fast...

Damn, smh. This dude spewed a metric fuck-ton of horeseshit after Fury snuffed him last February. The world was relieved after the finally went silent....thank you, COVID. Now he's come back in an attempt to ruin an Undisputed HW bout...with two men who can and will give us a great fight! What a bummer.

Beyonce Wildher did nothing in the rematch but miss right hands and get pummeled all night long. He got washed and sent home with his goofy outfit and useless right hand. Let's start a GoFundMe to help pay the step-aside fee so we can see a real fight in August.

Seriously....if the Gorilla Glue girl can score big, surely us boxing fans can pitch in and pay to keep this dude away until AJ and Fury are done handling business. I'd rather send about $25 bucks to keep him away than another $85 to watch him fail because he only believes he needs a right hand and nothing else.

And trust me, I'll pay the $85 to watch him get pummeled into oblivion, but I believe in getting the most for my money. Lol

Wilder is a dumbass he should take the money, get a promise he fights the winner with a good cut have a nice ringside VIP weekend in Saudi Arabia sh** talking to the media hyping up him facing the winner

Instead he is going to fight Fury within a few months get battered and his careers as good as over
