    Never heard of a "if I look good clause" in a contract before

    This Fury vs Wilder thing, nobody think's getting a deal inked now sounds weird?

    1. Since when does a contract get signed ahead of time when you have a fight in front of you?

    and

    2. Since when does a fight get made ahead of time if fighter x looks good in his next fight?

    It's all very unusual business to me.

    Am I the only one thinking this is highly irregular or is there a precedent I'm not seeing?

      I’m not sure they signed contracts yet. They maybe waiting to sign contracts until after the fight from the sounds of it.

        I'm 99.99% sure they haven't signed yet, but they're both saying it's 99% done.

          I don't think it's if you look good clause

          It's basically win your next fight but I doubt anything will be signed until after Fury fight

              C'mon McNulty you've been around for awhile. You seriously have never seen a fight agreed to when another fighter has a fight coming up? Heck GGG and Canelo had that happen recently

                Isn't this exactly what Hearn/AJ want Wilder to do for April?
