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

[DougalDylan]

17000 attendance .. lol it was 13000 according to Michael Buffers sources and they had to give away tickets.

They probably could have drawn some numbers in New York but Finkel needed to rip off Fury the way he stole Brigg's money in his fight and tried to con Joshua. Don King will be proud of that scum bag.

Any promoter holding out hope to win a purse bid hearing for the ordered rematch between Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury will have to wait at least one more week-and likely to watch the fight taken off the table. The World Boxing Council (WBC) officially postponed a scheduled February 5 purse bid hearing dedicated to Wilder-Fury II, upon the request of both sides who are believed to on the doorstep of finalizing terms for their highly anticipated sequel.

Legacy? What legacy?

His legacy of dominating and stopping cab drivers, street sweepers, shoe shiners, and part-time shovel salesmen.

Be funny has hell if it does and either Goldenboy or DAZN wins it.

DAZN isn't a promoter they aren't winning anything.

Eddie is losing purse bids to known tightwad Bobby Arum. He ain't beating Haymon who loves giving fighters money it would appear.

Idk that I could even see GBP making a move on it. Although last I heard he was still talking up Wilder so who knows.

Its a long shot to happen anyway.

Your post makes no sense....Bob has offered PBC fighters more money than most they've ever made. In the past Haymon paid fighters to staying inside the PBC but frankly most of the mad money is gone.

At best Haymon might be able to bluff the bid higher but in the end, If it goes to bid... Hearn will be high bidder, watch and see.

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

Well that is exactly the reason to be discredited. Nobody cares about internal documents which owner writes for himself. WBA has WBA Regular belt paragraph too and you can write that every chick coming in your house must dress down to naked but all that is still BS.

No, this is a hard fight to sell on pursue bid. PPV of a rematch of a great heavyweight fight should be easy to sell, but the problem is both guys want big time guaranteed money.

According to the numbers (300,000 buys at $50 a buy) the fight grossed over 150 million. Who has the money to back that up?

Both guys probably want 50 mill each in the bank before they step into the ring. The promoter who wins the bid will have to put up a lot of money to cover the guarantees and the promotional costs.

They never did 300,000, that was BS. Frankly, they're lucky if they did 200k. Even if they did, the network takes a big chunk of the PPVs and then there are expenses. Maybe 50 million pesos...but dollars? No, that's impossible. They both want a ton of money because one will lose leverage (millions) in the AJ show down. Wouldn't be surprised if they wait for AJ to commit and then tell the world the rematch is off because it makes the best financial sense.

Hope we don't see rematch after rematch in this fight as good as the first one was I want to see an undisputed champion got a feeling though these two will be fighting each other for the next 2 years

They can't all wait to announce - we'll never get a fight.

I still can't make any sense of whether Wilder can demand a rematch. It's an ordered fight - there couldn't be a rematch in the purse bids.

Hearn says he's ready to bid "a fckin fortune" for it and Haymon lost the only purse bid he ever entered for a Wilder fight.

Hearn, backed by DAZN money, would steam roll Haymon and Warren for this fight. That's the reason why neither will allow it to go to a bid.
