Comments Thread For: Fury Confirms Negotiations With Wilder For December Fight

[KnickTillDeaTh]

More empty words from Fury but it's OK, boxing fans are the biggest morons in the world so they buy it. I bet Wilder knows nothing about this so called negotiations, it's all in Tyson head.

Wondering if you read the article. Most of the quotes were from Warren not Fury.

Like it or not, this fight (assuming it gets made) is the biggest fight at the moment in the heavyweight division. Much bigger than AJ vs Povetkin. The only one bigger is AJ vs Wilder, but Hearn and AJ decided it was too soon to take the risk of a big hit on his career.

UK fans are super supportive, so when they get a popular guy they back them like Pinoys backed Pacman. Brook was huge until Spence put him in his place.

This news will make Hearn mad as hell, but he will tell the public Joshua will take on the winner.......but won't say just how soon, or where, etc.

Fury's got balls if he's serious. He doesn't belong fighting anywhere near that level at the moment and I'm not sure 1 more mediocre fight and a few months is enough for him to get back in form.

Smart move by Wilder, he gets a big name on his record irrespective of Fury's condition which will help him in negotiations with AJ.

Is Fury going to accept less than AJ was offered though? Is the money still there for that fight?

Wilder's camp isn't going to front $50m to Fury for the fight, but don't be surprised to see that the split ends up being near 50/50 for the event (Warren gets the UK rights for BT Sports/BoxNation, DiBella/Haymon get the US rights for Showtime/SHOPPV, Barclays Center hosts the event, and both camps look for sponsors and to max out the revenues).

Doubt that it gets to what they were thinking Wilder-Joshua could draw in Las Vegas, but fairly certain that they can get to the $40m-$45m that Joshua draws in London from New York.

Wilder will find a way to duck Fury, cause Fury will beat Wilder even out of shape and Wilder knows this.

Wilder is wild while Fury is just fart?

[StrangerInTown]

Yeah. Sure. Deontay, regardless of his flaws, is a prime conditioned athlete with immense power. He would end Fury.

This 50 million dollar argument is some ******ed åss Pactård in blackface shît. Y'all keep repeating the same fake åss argument because you know Wilder has no real legs to stand on in his quest to promote himself and exaggerate his under achievements. I really used to love the guy but I don't respect the art of deception. It's the Bob Arum playbook. The exact same play that he used in the six year long Mayweather negotiations. And y'all support this fake shît?! It's pathetic. Pacquiao fans were the most vile foul mouthed petty simpletons of all sports fans and Deontay Wilder's mindless pack of zombified minions are almost identical.
That being said, this is a good thing. If Wilder and Fury's desire to one up Anthony Joshua causes a fight like this to be made I am all for it. Especially since it's two guys fighting that I don't particularly care for. I'm not sure how good of a fight their styles will make for but the match up is interesting. If Fury gets in there and just tries to avoid getting hit all night it's going to suck. But if he comes to mix it up and try to land some hard shots it's gonna be good. If Wilder gets gun shy because he is having a hard time tracking him down it's going to be even worse. But if he let's his hands go even while Fury is playing artful dodger it will still be good. Let's forget about Wilder v Joshua and hope that we can at least get this fight.

Are you like one of those loons that didn’t believe in the lunar landing too?

Would be a very interesting fight. Wilder doesn't normally fight people with actual boxing skill. He prefers ****ers looking for that one shot IE Ortiz.
If Fury get's back to even 50% of where he was he will school Wilder. Fury the person I can't stand at all. But as a boxer he is very skilled and underrated. If the Tyson that fought WK turns up Wilder doesn't stand a chance. If the Tyson in his last fight turns up Wilder KO's him.
It all boils down to which Tyson turns up. If it is half the Tyson that fought WK he wins via decision. If the fat blob turns up Wilder takes him out within 5 rounds.

$50 million for Joshua not Fury. You don't know anything about the business, Fury isn't a draw to that level he's dbeen on Sky PPV once after Boxnation's £12 million bid collapsed and it sold 500k. He's signed with Warren to be over paid for easy comeback fights.

Taking Fury's twitter seriously is like taking Broner's instagram seriously.

no one even knows if that fifty mill was even legit to joshua and it was most properly offered with them taking all of AJs market over here...box office numbers etc to make up that amount.
We all know fury's rematch fight with klitchko at the MEN was cancelled because hardly any tickets were sold lol
Fury i guarantee you now will not be facing wilder or anybody remotely dangerous for the next year and will settle for can fights.
Fury never hardly faced anybody dangerous when he was active let alone on a comeback trail lol

To make a fight you need two willing parties.

Tyson Fury/Frank Warren sound like they are willing. Unlike Fast Eddie and the coward.
