Comments Thread For: Fury Signs With Top Rank, ESPN; Wilder Rematch In Jeopardy

[bigdunny1]

Fury had a right to do this....this is big money, and endless exposure to American sports fans.

Fury is a star in America, and he is going to get even bigger.

However.

In doing this now, with the Wilder rematch almost secure, it tells me that Fury is ducking the rematch, the same way he ducked Wladimir, Fury knows he could get ser hurt in a rematch, and that could hurt his ability to earn, in going to ESPN, which has no heavyweights, Fury can fight parade of overmatched opponents, make a ton of money, and easily transition into sports television.

The good news, is that Joshua/Wilder, just got alot more possible, not right away, but this year.

The only positive here is now Joshua/Wilder just got more likely to get done later this year. I put the chances at Zero we see Wilder/Fury 2 or Joshua/Fury. There is at least a chance we get Joshua/Wilder which is the fight more fans want to see anyway.

Are we to blame AJ for this if it doesn't happen? Dossiers

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Told you it wasn't happening.

First time you were right Robbie. I’ll give you this one

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Why would Fury do that now, after the fight has been finalized? That’s really dumb.

I knew he didn’t want the fight by some of the things he was saying after the fight. This deal likely ends up bad like the Eleider Alvarez deal Arum signed.

This is going to suck for the fans. Before we only had to worry about the DAZN and PBC political divide.

Now there is a 3-way rivalry that has to be navigated in order to get the fights we want to see.



Top Rank in-house f@ggotry coming to a heavyweight division near you. Stay tuned!

The biggest problem getting Wider to fight Joshua is the fact that his pants are like his mouth, full of s%*t.

Wilder will be extremely relieved to hear that he has a way out of Fury rematch too, which further postpones any possibility of him fighting Joshua. All good news for the ducker. Both he and Fury had opportunities to accept extremely generous terms from AJ, and neither stepped up.

Cong**** to Fury I always root for fighters to get the most money Possibly! As for the Wilder rematch, it is still possible lets slow down and see what happens. Why would anybody be Happy and root for Wilder vs Fury II to NOT happen and claim to be a "Boxing Fan"

Still got Purse Bid! ESPN, Showtime, Fox, DAZN get your checkbooks out!

Fury doesn't have a belt to be stripped so why does he care about a purse bid? ESPN would never up front guarantee all this money just to let him go fight on a rival network. And like I said ESPN and Fury don't care about losing a purse bid he has no belt in the first place no matter how much DAZN or Showtime wins a purse bid.

What's going to happen is ESPN will give him a date and bum opponent and a ton of money and Fury will tell the WBC he doesn't want a rematch and doesn't want a purse bid. He takes himself out of the running for the WBC belt and Joshua owns the remaining belts. Fury is going to bank on calling himself Lineal champ and that he doesn't need a belt and keep fighting on.

It’s good that you’re optimistic about a rematch actually happen but I seriously doubt it

To get Fury the 18 mil avg Wilder needs around 21 -22 to the proper mandated %. The fight will be bigger then the first but that did what 325k that’s something like 20 mil with half or a little more going to the fighters even with all the other revenue streams. Youd think that It would have to do maybe 2.- 3x the amount of US PPVs then the first one to probably just break even and I doubt it could do those #s for the fight to happen

Warren was supposed to take over control of the Fury/Wilder 1 and 2 fights.
Wilder people begged for the fight, but Frank was unable to capitalize on
Winkel and Wilder's desperate measures.
Fury was clearly the A-side.
Warren found himself getting dictated upon and couldn't even negotiate
home advantage for Fury.
Unlike Hearn, he's probably short on infrastructure and ability to stage big fights on his own.

This F.ucking clown spinning it that Wilders the one ducking everyone but was the one negotiating the rematch in good faith and isn’t the Aside for AJ who basically like all Asides can make a ffight happen when they actually want the fight

In no way can you think like this and not be half ******ed or a delusional Brit who’ll spin non stop to put his countrymen in a positive light l.
