Fury-Wilder to be announced this week according to Fury

[removed]

The fight is happening, despite what cancer the Hearn/AJ crew spout about it.

so now they are announcing that they are going to announce the fight fury is back on the crack fight is not going to happen

It doesn't matter when they announce it. The stadium is almost sold out so it's irrelevant.

First off, they were "almost sold out" a month and a half ago. This is not a good sign long term. It indicates fans are starting to turn off to Hearn's and AJ's BS.

Second, it isn't ticket sales they are trying to affect. This is Fury and Wilder claiming an even more coveted belt. By announcing their fight the week of AJ's, they automatically win the Pettyweight Championship of the world by stealing a bunch of media attention from a guy who has jerked them around in the past.

Doing this is great for egos and s##t, but they should have announced it the week of Canelo-GGG.

Honestly, anyone with a bit of common sense knows the fight is on. That bit after the Pianeta fight was legit.

All the announcement serves to do is to officially open up the media hype season.

When you look at it that way, this week is the best time to do it since there will definitely be some attention on AJ. It's a free way to hype the fight as you know every other question will be about Wilder or Fury or Wilder vs Fury.

A no brainer really...

If Wilder and Fury think they are the draws, why announce it this week? Because both are the B side.

Again, this is all about the petty.

Both men have been jerked around by Hearn.

What better thing to do than steal thunder from his golden goose and hype their own fight at the same time?

Cool! A bit skeptical though, after Floyd's announcement.

[Derranged]

LOL but you aren't wrong. Some boxing fans are weird as f#ck.

You get the sense that some fans would rather a fight not happen just to say that one fighter ducked the other.

I sure hope so. WOrd was they were going to announce this week but all I heard was Floyd/Manny 2 talk. Unless Wilder/Fury is on the Floyd/Manny undercard, I don't see how Haymon does both on PPV in December.

Unless they put Wilder/Fury on Fox and they get a HUGE payment to do so..
