    The Problem with the Wilder-Fury Promo

    Does anyone know the problem with the Wilder-Fury promo?

    Their back and forth tonight was quite boring and very underwhelming, to say the least.

    Is it because they have too much respect for eachother?

    Or is it because Fury's performance was lucklustre, and therefore he doesn't present a challenge to Wilder?

    What is it??

    Either way, I hope it can pick up as they get closer to facing off.

    They genuinely seem to like one another , so the animosity just seems fake.

    Wilder literally handed Fury the WBC belt after his win and Fury walked around the ring with it, before handing it back.

    Fury has a great mouth piece and makes press conferences entertaining though.

      These guys like each other and are going to make each other a lot of money, snubbing Hearn in the process, proving he doesn't actually run shyt. They're probably just excited.

        It was a smart move by them to go ahead and fight.

        But let's be real Hearn and Joshua still run the division .

        Fury and wilder combined money likely won't even match what AJ is gonna make fighting Povetkin.

        And still, the winner of their fight is gonna be the B side to Joshua. Especially Wilder. Lol poor Wilder.

        If Fury wins he might he able to demand 40 percent but not Wilder.

        Joshua is his own brand just like Canelo and Mayweather and Pac.. He doesn't need the right opponent to make 8 figures twice over every time out..

          I actually agree that there were some promotional issues, it was clear at the end of their fight announcement that both men like and respect each other. Dunno, I hope they can generate a believable type of tension between each other but I don't know?

            End the day this isn’t WWE.

            Fury v Wilder is huge, it doesn’t need fake acting to sell out Vegas, sell 1.5m buys.

              Damn, that belt bit is a massive disappointment. How the hell did Wilder think that was a good idea??

                This fight will tell us just how popular Wilder really is in the United States.

                  It's the mutual respect that made it boring, Fury's fights never look good so that's not it.

                    I was thinking the same thing. In Mayweather vs McGregor, they seemed to have respect for each other also, which I think took away some of the potential **** talk from McGregor. You can tell when he genuinely hates somebody like Aldo or Khabib.

                    Fortunately that buildup was still good, so maybe this one will be also.
