Comments Thread For: Arum on Fury-Wilder 3: We're Finishing Paperwork For July 24; Hopefully Done Today

Wilder better not wear a ****** outfit that weighs him down on the way to the ring.

This will set up a British stadium fight nicely at the end of the year, the indoor Millennium stadium holds 78,000.

This is so ****** as a business standpoint and a risk factor standpoint. Pay wilder 20 million and got make 4 times that against Joshua. If wilder won't accept step aside money, fight AJ anyway. The ruling says you have to fight wilder by September 15th. Fight AJ August 14th and then see what happens. If fury wins, he's stripped on the wbc belt... Big deal. If he loses oh well.

If he fight's wilder a 3rd time and loses his big pay day is over... Plus wilder and aj will never fight each other. No one wants to see wilder vs fury 3 and not one wants to see aj vs usyk.. Only the individual fans of those boxers do which is a fraction of the sport of boxing fans.

Lol at people praising Arum, he doesn’t have a choice, was ***** slapped into honouring a contract that’s been in place for what 15 + months.

A contract he said expired, honestly praise the guy that made a compete **** of everything because you think it one ups Hearn.

Weirdos.

I cant think of anything funnier than a bum like chicken legs wilder sparking fury out cold with lucky, eyes closed, overhand right. It would be everything the lying, gyppo fraud deserves. I'd live all of 2021 in lockdown just to see it.

Not really. It was an agreement between Fury and Wilder that either fighter (loser of the fight) can ask for a trilogy.

They agreed on a 2-fight deal. The contract stated that either fighter could trigger a trilogy. The contract also stated that if the loser of the rematch triggered a trilogy, they would get 40%, winner gets 60%. Given how successful the rematch was, 1.2million buys, the trilogy should be around that ballpark. So Fury will get 60% of probably a large pie.

I know for Fury v Joshua there was talk of a supposed $100million each, which is more than what he would earn vs Wilder, but I doubt Fury is angry at fighting Wilder a third time for 60% of the revenue.

Where did you get 1.2m buys? The buy rate was 800k. Where they slightly broke even… So that isn’t really that successful.

People are really weird must be whatever they put in their kool aids. I was one of the guys who actually went with what Arum said. So I definitely isn’t going to be praising him like he did something special. If there contract didn’t expire like he claimed then he wasted everyone’s time.

This is a good excuse to go to Vegas plus I haven’t really went anywhere since the pandemic

Even though I kinda agree with this, it would be impossible for Fury to fight AJ then Wilder a month later.

They just have to hope that they get rid of Wilder like they did in their second fight. Because if this fight goes the whole 12 rounds, I doubt Fury would get the decision in America.

True… Some British fans might get what they wished for in the end.
