Comments Thread For: Skill Challenge Prepared To Pay 'Premium Price' For Fury-Usyk, Joshua-Wilder

I agree and seriously hope this show comes through but my concern is the many moving parts itll take to make it happen and the fighters may not end up the problem all the different promotional companies agreeing may be the hiccup.

Usyk and Wilder have both signed deals with the Saudis so their teams must be on board with the plan. Hearn is telling us that AJ's contractual obligations won't be a problem.

But does Fury actually want to fight Usyk or not? We'll soon find out.

I don’t believe Fury wants that Usyk smoke.

That said, I would PPV the crap out of this.

The unified HW champion is an asset no matter who he fights. If they just wanted the Fury fight they could have just bought it like they have others, they didn't need to sign Usyk, but their approach has changed as they have gained experience on what is involved and the money that can be made.

Unfortunately for some Game Changed.

A lot people, especially in the US, are underestimating Usyk's popularity world wide. John Fury is crying about Usyk turning fight fans against his son. That would never have happened if Usyk himself had no clout or credibility with those fans.

He will be an asset to the Saudis ... if he gets past Dubois. Nothing can be taken for granted in the HW division. DD is a young, hungry guy who packs a punch.

Everyone is just sitting around waiting for Saudi money. So you will not get any decent fights unless saudis throw the money at it.

I won’t pay nothing for Joshua or Wilder.

So you will pay something? How much?

As I said, Game Changed
