Frank Warren: AJ v. Fury never signed; Wilder never asked for step aside

[Zelda]

So Tyson Fury announces the fight. But Warren says it wasn't even close to being done.

Which one is it?

Did you watch the video?

Tyson Fury was happy with his end, i.e., Prince Khalid assuring him the money is there. The UK broadcasters issue remained to be solved which would have delayed the fight but that has nothing to do with Fury. Boxers are not involved in PPV business details. What does that sound strange to you?

[sicko]

people took a quote from Frank Warren and turned it into "Wilder Asking For $20 Million" when Frank was just saying that he it could probably take up to $20 Million for him to step aside and that he hope it would take less than that

of course people who absolutely hates Wilder as well as Fury somehow turned it into "Wilder Wants $20 Million To Step Aside"

So we believe Warren? Who was telling everyone that the negotiations were preventing Fury from fighting, even though he couldn't fight anyway?

Also the fight wouldn't have happened until Sep/Oct because stuff had to be worked out, but they had the Wilder fight sorted in days? Anyone going to still say they didn't plan the Wilder fight after hearing this?

Throughout this whole ordeal Warren has been the only one tampering down expectations including from the very beginning saying the arbitration could possibly rule a third fight. He's been the only realistic one yet you all were saying Warren doesn't know what he's talking about.

Warren said Joshua negotiations were preventing Fury fighting and Fury wanted to get in the ring as soon as possible did he not? So Warren was lying just like Arum and Fury.

So why would we believe him now? He's been proven to lie to make Hearn look bad.

Warren doesn’t seem like he’s in the loop for a lot of things. He was denying a rematch had been done with Wilder well after it was confirmed.
There we’re probably some things that hadn’t been worked out but are minor to the split, location, guaranteed money etc..

So Warren confirms the obvious: There were lawyers involved. Arbitration was known by all to be a possibility and Usyk's interests were being protected. According to Warren nobody even signed a contract for Fury Joshua or am I missing something?

I will try to make this point again, at the risk of sounding redundent. All these promoters knew everything. They all revealed information based on the best interests of their clients. It was never in any parties interest to mention the arbitration, or Usyk was it? So it was not mentioned. I keep hearing about bad faith, the fans, etc... It just does not work that way. You will not hear anything in these situations related to the good of boxing, the good of the fans. Shelly Finkel... You do not hear from him do you? Why would he step in and say anything? Why not alert the fans "hey guys Wilder might win the decision!" Think about it.

Fast Eddie was trying to get this done... He knew the situation. Why would Arum stop him? Warren just said it in this interview: "Its a better fight." thats it it is that simple really. I wish people would stop treating the promoters like fighters who have fans... It is ridiculous.

Barret is as dumb as Redeemer... Still trying to make Fast Eddy out to be a good man lol. Warren is right that they all had lawyers and you can bet lawyers told fast eddy about the arbitration.

Also found this from March from Warren. Saying everything was agreed just the site needed sorting. Now he's mentioning TV etc.

“But what I can say is that everything is agreed, it’s an imminent announcement and we’ve got to work on a site, and that’s it.

“It’s absolutely moving in the right direction and everybody is on the same page.

“Nobody is more frustrated than the fighters and us, we’ve worked like you cannot believe to get this over the line.

“I think Tyson is a bit peed off about it because it’s dragging on and on and on.

“Hopefully everybody will be getting the good news soon, they’ll be happy and everyone can more onto the next stage of this, which is to get this site sorted out.

“We hope it doesn’t happen later, we’re working hard to get it done sooner rather than later.

“The contracts are agreed and they will be signed, 100 per cent, I’m confident of that.”

By the end of the week?

“I hope so!

Fight was imminent, everything agreed, now it wasn't close?

[DaNeutral.]

I have no interest in anybody "on that side of the street”. They have all proven themselves to be sneaky and liars and are all contradicting each other.
