Fury's team rejects the purse bid option

[Motorcity Cobra]

Was told the idea of a purse bid for a @BronzeBomber fight is not a favorable scenario to @Tyson_Fury ... “an independent organization determining the value of the fight is not fair to Tyson Fury’s value.”

Neither side wants a purse bid. The fight can still happen Wilder isn't tied to any network. It would do big numbers on UK PPV too.

They should fight on whichever network is offering the most money, right?

We know that won't be possible. ESPN hasn't signed Fury to let him go on another US network.

Fight is not happening next.

Clear as day.

Fury vs Pulev, I think.....

Yeah with the ESPN Deal he doesn't have to setting for 60/40

So why should Wilder take less money? Hell, why should Fury take less money? The fight should go to whomever is offering the most money. Be it ESPN or SHO. You gotta be consistent.

So does this cancel the Whyte/Breazeale eliminator or whatever the hell that fight is? Automatically would make Breazeale the mandatory again right?

Thought all along that if Fury's side lost the purse bid he would pull out and that Wilder would still fight if ESPN won the bid since he can't afford to vacate the strap.
