Comments Thread For: Deontay Wilder vs. Tyson Fury Rematch Purse Bid is Postponed

[Redgloveman]

Logical if you think about it. Fury came away looking like a winner and Wilder escaped with his belt. They're waiting until Joshua signs another fight (because they don't want the pressure to take a Joshua fight), then they will announce they can't come to an agreement and go their separate ways.

lol... man, if that insanity were to come true then you would have to be proclaimed king of these boards.

It won't though; I don't think Wilder's team could take the PR hit unless they go straight for the payday with Joshua - Joshua Miller isn't signed yet, is it?

[Ake-Dawg]

well, the wbc changed from sanctioning the fight to ordering it, but your point still holds.
lol how in the world do you order a purse bid for a non-contender? and then after that, you go ahead and postpone the purse bid date which you demanded on the eve of the purse bid?? the WBC has no credibility whatsoever.

Its in their rules. They can "order" a special bout. Check paragraph 3.8 of the rules. I may not be getting it right.

Wilder has already said he would rematch Fury before fighting Joshua and vice versa lol. There is no pressure it’s already been established that Wilder is facing Fury next and Joshua is fighting Miller

If they were to announce they've stopped negotiations now, there would be pressure on Wilder to accept the 40% Joshua offered. Because Jpshua hasn't signed to fight Miller yet. They're waiting until Joshua signs his fight.

Lmaoooo man these dudes on here slow as hełl. This means that nobody will be able to make a bid on the fight as they work out a few more details. Probably be announced by Monday

robbie just wants to hold on to his last hope of it not happening

Paragraph 3.8:
"We do whatever we like."

Seriously though, I assume that if they granted the extension it must be because the deal is very close and just needs a tiny bit more time.

Fury deserves no more than 40%

[smfmikejohn]

For the ones that think wilder dosent want the fight you are crazy and cant read it says both partiea asked for an extension to make the fight. Now when all the dust settles and you hear otherwise then you can say wilder or fury was hesitant to make the fight.

Knowing how duplicitous Wilder's team are, I guess that's possible, but both sides asking for an extension probably means they are close to a deal, like the article said.

I think you are either going to be closing your account or getting you arse sued soon.

Hope the fight happens then the loser gets the short straw then the highest payday of their career is off the table for now, AJ gets the winner while Whyte might get the loser so basically both would not want to lose.
If Wilder loses that would be a great scandal, all his fan girls would go to bed that fight night crying...lolsss. Well, the way I see it Hearn wins both ways.

C'mon tell me where I can get tickets to see the biggest heavyweight title fight of the year again and I don't of course I don't mean the Laural and Hardy version!
