Originally posted by Bronx2245 View PostOf course "until his next fight," we won't be able to judge his progress. However, there's a lot of hate for this fight simply because Joshua already turned down a $50 million dollar payday, a number which he asked for, and now Fury is calling for Wilder! There's only 2 outcomes for Joshua fans, ONE: Wilder beats Fury, and becomes the man that beat the man, or TWO: Fury comes to Las Vegas, and beats the man Joshua was scared to face!
Glad to see you've managed to take the fanboy blinders off and at least acknowledge that we do not yet know the merits of a fight with Tyson Fury at this stage.

Originally posted by Deus View PostFunny that, your position at the start of this discussion was that Fury in his current state beats most heavyweights and that Wilder deserves full props for beating Fury if he does face and beat him. In fact that was the entire reason our conversation in this thread started in the first place.

Originally posted by genrick View PostIf it's WAY BIGGER, then fans should expect Fury to get more than $50 million guarantee.
Espinoza would get massive headaches how he's going to fund this fight.
This is a huge gamble. Nobody knows how many PPVs it will sell.
He’s fighting Breazeale next like you said

Originally posted by OldTerry View PostYour dislike for Fury and Wilder comes across loud and clear and I think you are wrong about boxing fans having no interest in them. Bottom line is that for boxing to sell it has to be entertaining and Fury and Wilder do know how to entertain. Both are good at it outside the ring and Wilder delivers it in side the ring; action, Drama, and suspense. When you watch a Wilder fight you know he's gonna win but you're always worried that maybe he won't.
I don't need to like them, I still want to see that fight. There is only a handful of fighters I like, period. I still tune in every Friday and Saturday for any fight of any significance.
I was talking about the business of boxing today, and it's about brand building.
What you described there needs to be sold, but neither fighter has been built up for people to know all that.
No one even knows who Fury is in US, as the Brits have said, no one will come out to see Fury except his people in the UK and how popular is Wilder in the US?
No one gave a **** about Loma vs. Rigo either.

The only thing that could top this off would be for the 39yr old Povetkin to KO Joshua.
