Ah. Another self denying wilder fan who doesn’t understand English.
The fight was sanctioned, not ordered. Those are not the same. A sanctioned fight is Not a mandatory.
Well, unless you are trying to create a false narrative I suppose.

Sulaiman doing Uncle Al’s bidding lol.. Fury eyes are open now that he sees they don’t play fair, from the horrible draw decision to a sanctioning body doing a promoters negotiating lol.. I bet he starts to listen to AJ offer now, just like Billy Joe did when Hearn outbid Warren for the Andrade fight

[that g]

so why would Wilder object to giving Fury 50% ?

they gave him 50% last time

The splits were 3m for fury, 4m for wilder. How’s that 50-50?

Warren swore blind it was 50:50 then the purses were published ...

In before Hearn declares that the fight is not happening like last time.

Lol wishful thinking on his part.

Tyson mate just get a good lawyer Warren and Finkels records for court chases against fighters are eye watering.

If he is going to get ripped off in Vegas he should at least get a good pay day.

Just curious. Why exactly is it risky for Hearn again?

It would require both wilder and Fury to "promote" the fight even though their purses are set in stone/guaranteed. The two fighters wod have no incentive to help make Hearn money unless they both had promotional side deals.

Both Dibella and Warren would come in with bids based on the numbers they did from the first fight. Hearn doesn't have those numbers. He could throw a conservative low bid in, but would assuredly get outbid by both other promoters.

How did they give him 50-50 if Wilder got a 4mil purse and Fury got 3mil ??
Thats around 57.5% for Wlder and 42.5 for Fury so he gets a smaller cut if it goes to purse bids

But what about Breazeale? Are the WBC allowed to install somebody else as their mando, over his head, without being sued?

Remember, the WBC cited a legal obligation to Breazeale as the reason for giving him their mando spot, even though he wasn't the No1 contender.

Probably has something to do with Fury being emeritus.
