Tyson Fury vs Wilder has so many of you FOOLED!

[Kezzer]

I think it's going ahead. I believe Fury thinks he can win with another tune-up and a full camp.

Fury says a lot of things. Whether he does them is completly different

[Pigeons]

Eddie Hearn's fans are well-rehearsed on charades. They watched Eddie pretend he wanted Femi to fight Wilder for months.

perfectly possible explanation I agree its highly likely but on the other hand..

I think fury has come back to make as much money as possible as fast as possible so he can walk away for good and retire this is a money grab by frank warren and fury so I see them taking the wilder fight

as for wilder why wait for fury to improve any more he might never have an easier version of fury to fight so he is best of taking it now

Fury's been away 2.5 years and was never a PPV star. Wilder? He couldn't sell out a fight in Alabama. Just how much money do you think this fight will generate?

Am I the only one that sees this as a big stunt organised by Frank Warren to draw attention to Fury's next fight vs that Italian guy? Hey, Wilder's side might be in on it too.

Frank and Wilder's team both agree to lend each other a hand - Fury gets publicity for his next fight and Wilder keeps his name in the media / has a more powerful bargaining chip in negotiating with AJ - basically saying to Hearn /AJ 'If you won't fight me, I have other options'.

I think it's clear Eddie Hearn knows it's all a bluff - there is no fuccing way Fury gets in the ring with Wilder this year...NONE!

The promoters get the fans talking and the buzz going - and laugh at the free publicity they are getting. Wilder helps Fury sell PPVs for his next glorified sparring session and Wilder gets what he wants.

Happy to eat my words - but I will say the Fury/Wilder fight 100% is not happening this year

I gotta admit, the first part about free publicity and attention for the Fury/Pianeta bout is 100% true, but I also think that there would be so much $$ and attention to a Wilder/Fury match that they'd do it just for the payday alone.

.... but you're dead on the money about the first part.

You could be right because I think both Wilder and Fury are huge braggers who often say they will do things they don't intend to do. If they don't fight each other my opinion that they are a pair of BSers will be stronger.

Umm not so much? I wish them well in financial aspect if this fight happens, because that gives winner more power in Joshua negotiations. Wilder after taking Fury out by vicious KO could legit ask for 40% vs Joshua and he might even get almost that much if he's lucky!

[boliodogs]

Both sides have been saying it's almost done for a long time now. Almost only counts in a game of horseshoes. A fight is either done or you don't have a fight but only a bunch of talk.If this fight is officially announced I'll believe it. Until then this fight happening is only a maybe to me.

Agreed, this is more of a future plan for big money negotiations with Joshua for the winner. It's funny that they are saying this fight between Wilder and Fury will be a PPV.

you all are salty and hating on a possible good fight, stop crying. you all just don't want the fight to happen because it will not be a good look for hearn and aj, its sad. every since its been talked about, nothing but negative comments from these posters and hearn.

Again point out the crying or salt! Lol. You know no one is “Hating” on anything. You want people to believe that narrative, no matter how many times you say it doesn’t make it true. Love the sport and stop dancing to a fighter tune.

Wilder fanatics are truly like over emotional women !

When Wilder takes an L , can you imagine the state of what this forum will be like ?

Yeah I don’t get why they get some emotional over fans, media and fighters
Alike being skeptic about the fight. I don’t believe this fight happens this year. I guess am a hater lol.
