Its explained in one of Hearns IFL interviews with Kugan Cassius, basically Furys team didnt understand the rules regarding getting an exception with the IBF. With the IBF once a mandatory fighter calls for a purse bid there can be no exceptions, when Fury won Glazkovs promoter called for a purse bid before Fury called for the exception where as when Joshua won Matchroom immediately called for one giving the IBF the chance to grant one.

That's why I love this site. Thanks for that green k'd.

Why didn't Fury get an exception?.

Because Kathy Duva didn't give them a chance to ask for the extension. She called for an immediate purse bid the day the IBF said they were to begin negotiations.

This shows that Hearn ****s all over Frank Warren as a promoter.

Is it too late for Indongo to ask for an exception?

Pulev was seen moments before IBF granted the exception. Photo below

Hearn negotiated that aswell, no doubt managed to sort it out aswell

So.. why didn't Fury get an exception, there was rematch clause there too.

Seriously, these orgs can not be allowed to pick and choose. It's not right.

Hearn is full of ****e! The IBF bent their own rules for the sanctioning fees. Fury & any other champion in the same situation got screwed. That is fine as I don't want Joshua stripped. I want 1 champion do wilder/parker make it happen!!!! Forget the rematch! Hang it up Wlad. Joshua needs to get the ortiz & pulev fights over with so we can have 1 champion. I don't want a rematch as Joshua will crush him in a few rounds this time.
