Comments Thread for: Tyson Fury signs ESPN fight deal worth reported £80m

So then it isn’t exclusive?

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

they'll likely concede the broadcast to Shotime for a cut of the revenue.

It goes to purse bids lets see if Hearns really gonna gamble this is excellent news

What I don't understand about this move is Why PBC or DAZN didn't move heaven and earth to get Fury

Negotiations between any of the 3 top heavyweights are going to be ass now, none of them is going to be willing to miss out

I didn't see this coming. It's a good deal for Fury and it guarantees that the big fights ain't happening.

Just commenting in this thread for when this fight goes the same way as wilder v Joshua and everyones at each others throats.

Tyson Fury is now #4 ranked by the WBO and his promoter quote

“They (Joshua and Hearn) didn’t want the fight (against Fury). Now we’ve got a bigger platform and they’re going to have to come to us. The game has changed.” -

They going to have Fury win 2 fight on ESPN then get to AJ

No, it would be PPV of course. That's why I said co-PPV. For the other two co-PPVs, you had SHO/HBO working together on the broadcast and in production.

So, what about the most important thing? $80m, for five fights. Is that a lot of money, or not?

I doubt a unification will happen anymore. AJ will only fight on DAZN.

So can someone fill me in here?

SURELY they addressed the Wilder situation at the press conference?????
