I know it makes everything difficult in terms of getting on champ at HW, but each fighter got to look out for their own best interest.
Fighters are willing to fight anywhere only if it benefits them, lets see if Fury is willing to fight anywhere after this deal.

To me, if they are announcing it as exclusive, then they at least to keep the pretence of that for few fightsto make it seem legit.
How would ESPN do a co- promotion with Sho anyways? Like, you can either watch it on Sho for $80 PPV or watch it for free on ESPN? Tough call
