Comments Thread For: Hearn: Money On Table For Undisputed Fight But Fury Doesn't Want Usyk Next

[El_Cholo]

So lots of posturing has cost fans 2 big fights that should have been happening in March (Usky/Joshua) and Apil (Tyson/Whyte). Now for sure the Usyk/Joshua fight won't take place until April/May. And Tyson/Whyte, it's anyone's guess due to the Whyte/WBC arbitration issues. What began as such a promising year for HW boxing has ended up being a slow, wimpy fart.

lets be fair mate, the posturing as been going for years, Joshua didn't really want to fight Usyk either until he was forced to.

Lets not go over the old ground with talks about Joshua vs Wilder either.

There was never a set date or month with Usyk vs A.J . It was always a spring fight . But April was always more realistic then March .

The Whyte vs Fury fight was never going to be in March ,Furys claims of March 26th or whatever date is also ridiculous either way when arbitration was not supposed to end in enough time to promote that fight . No one’s missing anything the fights are due at their respective times when they were able to happen which is a month or so near each other .

I believe everything Hearn says on this one because a) it’s pretty clear that AJ is in a rebuild phase with no head trainer even confirmed b) it’s end of Jan and we’ve still heard nothing substantive on AJ-Usyk negotiations and c) there’s no way he’d come out with this if it was untrue because stepping-aside isn’t exactly great optics for AJ, even if doing so makes sense.

Fury is insufferable with the amount of BS he spouts. He wants to avoid Usyk and also swerve Whyte by offering him a split that no top HW would accept, but didn’t get the memo that there’s literally no money to go around for him to face his typical soft touch before he rolls the dice, if at all he ever does.

Gypsy Queen straight up ducking Usyk - what a big loud mouthed tart.

I've been saying for months that something's off with these Usyk-AJ negotiations. Only days ago, I said the camp looks uncertain about strategic direction for Usyk, unlike pre-Ruiz, because I argue AJ has no plan for dealing with him.

To me, this was reflected in Hearn struggling to remove 'step-aside' speculation, and If ever these guys were gonna dispel such a perception, this current rhetoric is NOT it.

Anyone who's worked in sales, and Hearn will know this, can tell you explicit admission of a deal on the table and contemplation of signing is a "buying signal".

Regardless, I reiterate my October prediction: April rematch is never happening. June earliest, if at all.

And I reiterate wat I said in November. If Fury-Whyte happens, its September. Otherwise, undisputed will land before that particular match ever does.

Not surprising if this is all true, only time will tell. Usyk is a nightmare of a chess match of a fight for Fury. Fury wins imo... but it wont be pleasant to watch and even harder to score as Fury would probably hold and smother Usyk alot. Seems like Fury wanted a cake walk fight in March and then go for Winner of AJ Usyk.. avoiding Dillian altogether. Less then 8 weeks to prepare for Usyk isnt ideal for anyone.

People need to stop repeating Roy Jones' ****** statement. Fury v Usyk will be a beautiful fight watch, not boring at all. Listening to pro-***** Roy Jones is becoming unpleasant.

Agreed with you on all of this, including Fury's insufferability, bar the fact that one should always be hesitant to take an individual's POV as gospel.

In this instance, we're getting someone unassociated with Fury reporting on Fury's plans. Could be true, I mean, I wouldn't struggle to believe it.

But take with a pinch of salt till confirmed, I say.

Hearn getting Joshua a rematch after such a one sided beating and Hearn demanding 45% of a the purse for a fighter who only two fights ago was knocked unconscious by a now retired veteran has a lot to do with this mess.

Chatting nonsense as usual. Firstly, it’s becoming increasingly apparent that Hearn/AJ would be comfortable avoiding a 2nd Usyk fight, so what has their rematch clause got to do with the hold-up if they’re not set on enforcing it?

Secondly, where does it say anywhere that Hearn himself wouldn’t accept less than a 45% split? Either way, Fury/Top Rank could easily flat out refuse and accept the purse bid, but why is it that they’re mutually agreeing to extend the deadline and the hold-up?

Fury/Top Rank are just as complicit, and it’s becoming more obvious that Fury hasn’t a clue what he wants beyond an easy ride to the end of the rainbow.

That’s exactly what Fury wants to do avoid two guys Whyte and Usyk not sure he’ll get away with it though without dropping a belt ,we’ll see ?

The loudest one in the room usually is the guy that doesn’t want to fight and he’s done this numerous times before an official statement comes out so he confuses people with his empty call outs days before .
