Comments Thread For: Wilder-Fury Rematch: Purse Bid Set For February 5, 60-40 Split

[Ake-Dawg]

Fury will get 50/50 imo. Wilders team won't want it to go to purse bid which will allow BT sport or Sky the chance to snatch up the fight. You know they want those corrupt judges in America.

If this went to purse bid, Hearn would not bid. Too risky. Warren would...but either way it's a win for Wilder. He has to win by KO anyway.

There's a lot of Wilder detractors that didn't read the article lol

[Straightener]

Hearn has called fish eyes bluff . 60/40 is a top deal for fury

Warren has had a brown trouser moment for sure ....... s**t house dosser

[AdonisCreed]

This is the wbc offer for a purse bid not Haymons offer. If Joshua were to fight Wilder just for the WBC title he’d receive the same thing smh. Are you new to boxing?

Wait slow down!! Who do you think you are spitting out facts lol

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder set to clash again in US, says Frank Warren

"We're trying to make that fight at the moment, everyone wants the fight and most importantly the fighters want it," Warren said.

"The venue is looking like the US, that's where the money is. Tyson was disappointed with the judging with the last fight, as I was, so a lot of things need to be sorted but the US is where they want it, probably in the second quarter.

"Vegas would be one of the options. I wouldn't want to go back to California, I didn't like working with the Californian commission and there were a lot of things we didn't like there.

"Tyson is already in the gym working hard, ticking over, and I think we would get it (the fight versus Wilder) before June."

Warren believes Fury's willingness to travel to a champion's back yard is in stark contrast to Joshua, who has never before fought outside of Britain in his 22-fight professional career.

"We're not complicated, Tyson is the most uncomplicated person you will meet, and he will fight anyone," Warren added.

"He went to Germany to fight Wladimir Klitschko and he went to America to fight Wilder.

"It's (Joshua's promoters) Barry and Eddie Hearn's agenda that complicates it.

"Joshua is their cash cow and they want to keep milking it," he added.

That's because Wilder had all the leverage, they had to cater to him, Fury was a voluntary. Now it's a mandatory. Fury said he wanted the rematch in the UK, now he has the leverage to work with it.

I've never heard of a sanctioniong body calling a purse bid for a voluntary defence.

Anybody else have any info about that?

I'm wondering if the WBC have ordered Wilder to defend against Fury?

Otherwise, if they can't reach a deal and Wilder isn't prepared to fight in the UK if Warren wins the bid, he could just walk away from the whole thing.

And if it's going to be a normal, open type bid, there would be nothing to stop Matchroom taking part too.

[aboutfkntime]

So Frank Warren wants 50-50 against the biggest star in boxing, 50-50 against a guy who makes more money than Fury and Wilder made combined in their fight, but they only get 40% against a Wilder who is not a star and or PPV attraction by himself.. hmm.

See Fury he got 8mil to fight Wilder in his home country and got robbed!! Even if AJ offers him 30% Fury will make 15 to 20mil at least!! But Frank calls that offer “derisory” and goes to fight Wilder for 40% and probs get 10mil.

that would be a cool story..... if Hearn had offered Wilder anything close to 30%

but, he did not

so that is not a cool story..... it is a cool story bro
