Edgelord grifter Fury leading us into an indefinite postponement death spiral

[dan-b]

In a recent exchange I had on here another user couldn't get it through his head why I was insisting the fight should go ahead on 23rd December. He thinks insisting on that date, after the Ngannou outcome, made the fight less likely. I think the opposite. By allowing Fury to move on this date there's a good chance the fight won't end up happening at all.

There's a rematch clause after all, so the loser could have made their excuses between the 23rd and the return bout. The Saudis should have told them to get on with it or the deal is off.

I'm not sure how many Fury die hards are left, but whether you're willing to express it openly or not, you must have some doubts too. It must be exhausting being invested in this guy. Inactivity, "retirements" and postponements. It's tedious, and I'm looking forward to boxing being able to move on from this embarrassing episode.

It's within living memory for all of us when we had active champions and boxing wasn't just a grift for assorted cretins (Fury's father being among them). We can get back to that.

No one with a brain is fighting a huge fight 8 weeks after the rough fight Fury just had. And anyone thinking he is, needs to think about this in a more serious way or quit being a biased weirdo.

The main thing is both guys will be getting insane money for this fight & neither is gonna pull out of the rematch let alone the first fight. Usyk is just having a lil fun right now after the dogging Fury tried to give him about the date next month. Fury obviously knows how to get attention, but Usyk is doing a good job here as well. Y'all ppl taking this next month or bust sh^t seriously need to quit falling for the hype & attention getting tactics. Usyk is no dummy. He knew in the 3rd rd there was no fight w/Fury next month. So did all the power brokers involved in this event. The fight will happen in Feb/Mar most likely & it'll give both guys time to be at their best. And I believe Usyk even said he'd even prefer a longer camp ideally. Both will get a more ideal situation when this fight happens than rushing it on 8wks notice.

I'll explain it again, although I thought I made it pretty clear, I don't share the confidence of others that Fury will stick to the next date either. Most of the other stuff you wrote was irrelevant/boring so I'll ignore it.

Fury might feel he needs to set the record straight with Francis first but before that in the summer of next year he'll have a voluntary tuneup which the WBC will allow. Who will he face? Of course none other than Derek Chisora...again. Fury will win and promptly after that retire.

You must not understand how money works lol.

Too many of you guys got basic, after the bell rings 5th grade school beef, low level thinking takes on how this game works. Its a business at this level not a sport. These guys are gonna make generational wealth in this fight alone, if they both don't have it already. This ain't about confidence like a fight would be to you or most of us who've never fought at this level or for money at all, let alone how much they'll be getting. This is about a sh^t ton of money & history book level legacy sh^t. If you don't get that idk how to explain it to you, but when this fight & the rematch both happens I'll look forward to further backwards logic on why it did from you ig.

The fight was never gonna be likely for Dec 23rd even if Fury did what he was supposed to in that circus fight.

Fury-Usyk will happen in early 2024. Fury isn’t walking away from a Saudi payday. I still favour Fury to win too tbh.

I think the problem is that Fury doesn't have a decent training camp left in him. He's got that silk pajama syndrome.

Irrelevant waffle again. I'll try once more and then I'll let you have the last word you're obviously determined to have. Given Fury's history and relationship with the truth, I do not believe moving the date is a mere technicality. I think there is a high possibility he will not end up fighting at all.

Floor's yours, I won't be responding to you again.

Why was it never gonna be likely when that was the date most involved, including Fury himself, were talking about?

I don't share your confidence that Fury will show up, but if he does I too think he will probably win on points.

I thought Fury said there was a contract that said it had to on that date? Fury should be in decent shape having just had a training camp and done 10 rounds. If he ducks this he's gonna look like a p*ssy.
