How confident were you that this fight would happen?

[Toffee]

I'm happy to be proved wrong and get the big event. But I didn't see Fury going through with it. Even two weeks ago I didn't think it would happen.

At what point did you actually think it would go ahead?

For me, I'm still not hitting the buy on the PPV. I want to see the card actually start!

I was much more surprised at the postponement. I always thought it would happen. It doesn’t serve anyone for it not to happen.

Not surprised at all. Whether Fury had Covid or used it as an excuse because he got sparked in sparring to delay the fight, it was always going to happen. I mean why would anyone be surprised, there are 10s of millions of dollars at stake for both fighters.

I was more confident this fight would happen over Pac Spence

[PRINCEKOOL]

Soon as Fury could not fight Joshua, I knew this fight would happen. I knew Tyson Fury would go through with it.

My only concern was? How would Fury deal with being favorite and no longer the underdog at elite level. Fury is clearly on edge, but he is dealing with it.

The second fight was not a conclusive ending to their rivalry, and it is stilll the second biggest fight in boxing.

Underrated Rivalry.

- -It's unholy Haymon/Arum farce that noone wants to see save a few derelicts.

Not a fight...

I didn't think wilder would want immediate rematch

10s 0f millions of dollars? Who's paying them - you?

They'd be extremely lucky to make $20m in ticket sales and PPV for in the fight in total.

You could be right, I saw a graphic saying Fury would get 50 mill and Wilder 40 mill somewhere yesterday. I dont involve my self in the financials of boxing usually, maybe they are making significantly less.

It's surprising how many on here aren't surprised.

When you consider that one of the fighters was literally willing to be dragged in front of a judge for trying to avoid it!

I'm not sure it made sense before AJ lost. Fury has proven enough through the two fights and had his choice of easier fights or a bigger fight.

Once AJ lost it makes a bit more sense. The bigger fight is tied up in a rematch.
