Comments Thread For: Wilder's Manager Confirms Negotiations For Tyson Fury Fight

The war is won, no one cares about AJ v Pedved. I have to see that said nobody. Fury will sell, his name is gold, he may not get $50 mil, but the circus is coming to town.

100,000 people at Wembley and 1 million people on PPV care about the Povetkin fight. More interest than Wilder could even conjure up. And it's PPV, not basic cable like Wilder does.

So you think this fight makes sense then? You must think so little of Wilder if you want him to fight Fury with all the advantages he'll have. That's cowardly in my book. But i'm sure it's fine in yours. Sad.

Stop crying.....

Anyone who thinks this fight happens in December don't know **** about boxing. It's just smoke and mirrors. A fat fury would be mad to go from complete bums to a wilder fight. Especially with Warren as promoter who is known for being over cautious.

This is great. Wilder Fury will crap all.over any ratings AJ has ever done. A win here makes Wilder the A side as well!

Which argument are you going stick to? Is it the ring rust one or now mind frame argument? If fury feels as though he ready for fight after August one who are to say otherwise? Just a Joshua nuthugger who had no problem with a ring rust Wladimir taking Joshua on without any tuneups before hand because he daring to do something your idol didn’t have the balls to do

It's both. Fury is not mentally or physically ready for a fight like Wilder. He needs more time. You brushing over this shows how low the most disgusting fan base in boxing are prepared to go.

Wlad was mentally ready though wasn't he? He was also in the best shape he'd been in for years. So don't try and tell me they are the same because they're not. Not by a long shot.

After the Joshua/Parker fight, Joshua called out Wilder or Fury. How would you feel if Joshua and Fury were in negotiations?

Joshua mentioned Fury because Fury wouldn't shut up about him. But he had the good sense to know Fury is ready yet.

Joshua wouldn't make the fight with Fury at this point so they wouldn't be in negotiations.

wilder said he'd take any offer because it wasn't about the money. So hearn offered 12.5 mill. It came out in the press because it normally does anyway. wilder then did a 160 and talked mad ****. Then they came with the 50 mill offer.

what is a 160??? A middleweight fight?

[that g]

this is actually a good move by wilder, tbh. he gets the lineal champ at his weakest, but it poses just about enough risk/reward. sink or swim, but not to the level that a joshua fight provides. personally, i think he would have been better served fighting breazele, because at least the joshua fight would still be there even if he loses, since there's already so much bad blood, and a standing contract.
with fury, if wilder loses, joshua's attention will shift to fury immediately.

it seems like a stick-it-to-joshua/hearn move to me. a chess move to try to make the joshua fight closer to a 50-50 purse split

if joshua was the one ducking wilder and a mandatory to fight fury, he would be destroyed on social media by wilder fanboys, and it would tarnish his legacy. but it does look different because wilder is not "the man" in the heavyweight division.

I think that Fury & Warren are hiding something. Fury would make more money & can justify losing at this point to big names. They are worried he might lose to a bottom ranked opponent & that would kill his value.
We all know Hearn likes to feed AJ’s leftovers to Whyte & Wilder’s to Miller.
The heavyweight division just got hotter
