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

[15 round fight]

Yes, very tactical. A win by Wilder will not only increase his earning potential, but it will also take away the Fury mega fight from Joshua. Hearn can see this, and this is why he's offering Wilder big money to fight Whyte now.

That is correct.

To those saying at least he has balls for wantin the fight, lol wut? Dillian Whyte called out Wilder after the Browne fight, and would fight him now in the US no problem, as would Chisora.

The difference is unless Fury has miraculously upped his performance level, let's be honest even though it was an exhibition fight his last one he looked BAD. Then I could see this being an easy KO for Wilder.

Whyte on the other hand would come to fight, get in Wilders face like no one else has and imo would be a real handful for him.

If he wants to take the easier fight though who am I to judge.

Good way to stick it to Hearn

Tactical move by team Wilder. A win definitely puts pressure on Hearn to give him a percentage.

If Wilder-Fury gets made for December (especially for the first couple of weeks of December; college football goes largely dormant from about Thanksgiving to the start of bowl season in mid December), Wilder is going to have a legit PPV fight on his hands for Brooklyn (It'll likely do less than the 750k that I thought it could do after the "confrontation", but 350k-400k is still a good take).

He wins that fight, and if Eddie Hearn comes with any BS (no percentage, must be on DAZN, rematch for only Joshua, etc), Wilder could tell Joshua to "wait his turn", fight the Ortiz rematch for his second PPV, and leave Hearn/Joshua to figure out how to convince Kubrat Pulev to not push the IBF to strip him as they wait on the Wembley date and the Whyte rematch.

Depending on how those two fights draw, you likely head into that next round of talks with the fight no longer having a default of having to be done in the UK (especially if Wilder has the option to fight Kubrat Pulev for the IBF belt, in a possible 3rd PPV).

For the people who are saying that the talks, negotiations and potential match up between Wilder and Fury is a hoax; Just remember that $50mil is a lot of money to turn down. Warren isn't bullshitting because if the funds are indeed available then he would have to be a damned fool not to take it. Team Wilder gave Joshua the first chance at it but he turned it down.

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.

This fight will be pretty huge. HW division needs this.

This is pure fantasy and fiction. Just like the 50 million from Wilder hahahaha. Fury won't fight anyone with a pulse for another year at least. And Wilder has yet to fight anyone with a pulse except Ortiz, who was on heart medication hahahah. If this fight goes through, I'll be the first one to gladly eat my words but I'm a lot smarter than that hahahah. We haven't been able to believe what Fury has said for 3 years now and Wilder has gone through the last 5 years without fighting Klitschko, Pulev, Povetkin, Miller, Whyte, Parker, Joshua and anyone else in the top 20 so why would we believe that he would all of a sudden fight Fury? He won't, and they won't

Agreed. The 50 million is pathetic and I am in shock daily that guys keep repeating this nonsense. I highly doubt the fight goes on but it would set up the April fight at Wembley perfectly wouldn't it? And yeah, I'm having a hard time figuring out how the fight between Wilder and Fury would play out too since Fury is a slapper and Wilder would struggle against someone taller, like Klitschko did against Fury. I will eat my words if the fight does happen but again, I know better. Both of these guys like to run their mouths and not back it up.
