    Fury v Wilder - Destroys AJs income

    Let’s assume AJs plan was;

    1. Fight Fury and win - $50m

    2. Fight Wilder in a mega fight after beating Fury - $100m

    Gross $150m in total.


    But now Wilder and Fury done this;

    If Fury beats Wilder, wave goodbye to AJ v Wilder at $100m. Fury v Wilder will deliver just $50m as there isn’t an international fight in Vegas.

    If Wilder beats Fury, wave goodbye to AJ v Fury at $50m.

    Hearn and AJ are check mate.

    But the narrative is that AJ is scared because he already turned down 50 million.

    If he's turned down 50 million .. all he's doing now is doing the same thing and losing one of the two opponents his detractors feel can beat him.

    If he only gets to face one of them..because one has lost to the other, then provided he wins he gets to feast on bums until gorman, Dubois or kownacki reach the top level. And all the while his casual UK fans will be giving him 30 million purses for that bum feasting.

    At least.. that's what the case would be if the truth fit the narrative

      Joshua is young. Plenty of big opponents will emerge. Usyk could be a huge fight in a year or two, joe Joyce etc. He doesn't need wilder.

        It puts the winner in great position bargaining-wise. And takes the loser off the table for now, forcing AJ and Eddie to come to the table and make a fair deal.

        Eddie’s been playing checkers. Wilder’s team is playing three-dimensional chess.

          Lol, some of these guys just make me laugh. They care so much about Joshua and Hearn losing money, they are here constantly reminding him that he turned down 50m dollars.

            He doesn't need Wilder if he doesn't mind watching his stock plummet...

                Hearn is gonna keep AJ safe & far away from Wilder for as long as he can. (To MILK him)
                Fury potentially stepping up & fighting Wilder in the U.S. makes Hearn/Joshua combo look bad & bumps Fury up a notch in "BALLZ" department.

                This fight definitely messes with their $$$.
                The split they will have to do with the winner will be expensive.

                  Nobody knows Usyk. That fight wouldn't bring in **** compared to Fury or Wilder.

                    I'm guessing there will also be a rematch clause if Fury is to win.

                    Not sure if Fury would get a rematch if Wilder wins, though I doubt it. Wilder will probably have to take care of a mandatory.


                    What if Fury takes the first and Wilder takes the second. Joshua could be on the outside watching a trilogy.
