They should show a double header event like Fury-pulev, wilder-bretzel on both channels, then do a big double ppv.Comment

You must be a ****** just google fury comments last few days and you’ll see he was having second third fourth thoughts about taking the rematch... good for him for getting big bucks to fight none of the other top hw now bad for fans with not getting wilder/fury 2 and fury/aj
But if thinking he's ducking your boy make you feel more secure then I'm fine with that.
At the end of the day Fury is the only current heavy who ever took two huge threats, undefeated Wilder and 10 years undefeated klit...
Actions speak louder..Comment

your right, Fury sounds like he used this move to duck the rematch & face some pulevs/whytes etc. of the world instead. Nothing new with top rank fighters choosing to put themselves on an island where they can face C/D levels for big bucks with a built in excuse for ducking. I thought Fury deserved the W the 1st fight & likely the 2nd too,but getting dropped by Wilder jars your brain.
As soon as a fighter signs with Arum I know they'll fight nothing but lower levels for ages. Goodbye Fury
Yet in current boxing 3 top rank career fighters Pacquiao, Loma, bud, are arguably in the boxing top 5 quality records, and sht all over PBC fighters records...
...despite the fact that PBC has a much bigger stable.
But still, arum is the bum beaters promoter...the ironyComment

Depending on what his ambition is, yes, it's still a yes/no decision for someone in Fury's position.
Wilder-Fury 2 would've been a giant fight; whether he got to $20m or passed that is of no consequence, a win would've made him WBC champion and uncrowned WBA/IBF/WBO champion.
Fury comes to terms on a Joshua fight after that, and with a $20m+ payday for that fight, a win makes the Gypsy King the unquestioned heavyweight champion of the world.
The Breazeale-Whyte winner (WBC mandatory) doesn't beat Fury, Pulev (IBF mandatory) doesn't beat Fury, Usyk (WBO mandatory) doesn't beat Fury, and in those 5 fights, Fury likely makes well over £80m.
If Fury trusts his ability, he's shorting himself here.
No different than Terence Crawford, Fury locked in most of the money that he would've gotten, yet now he's likely fighting a stumblebum next, without a real path to get Wilder or Joshua over to fight him on ESPN for even decent terms (things go to bid, even with ESPN winning, and Fury is only on 35% for the IBF and 25% for the WBC/WBA, compared to the near 50/50 he was seemingly getting for the Wilder rematch and near the same on a Joshua unification).
Cong**** on cashing out, I guessComment
