What’s not true? People aren’t stealing fights? What planet are you living on? What’s not true?

I wouldn’t call FuryWilder II a bullsht fight. And that fight was promoted by ESPN and Fox and still couldn’t crack 1 million. And both networks moved their programming to Las Vegas the week of the fight.

First fight was Showtime by themselves with a lot less guaranteed money. The 2nd and 3rd fights were cross network promotions with both fighters getting huge guarantees. I’m sure both promoters lost their shirts in those fights.

So you’re saying that they lost money making a trilogy, or they got so excited that they went crazy and lost their shirts!,,…
