Originally posted by factsarenice View PostArum and Waren see the big picture. Make it 50/50 and a WW matchup with Crawford. Fury simply doesn't need Wilder anymore.
The only big picture I see is they have just delayed the much anticipated rematch which sucks

If he plays it to safe he's gonna have a hard time selling fights and if he risks it with Joshua / wilder to soon there's a good chance he gets knocked out early in his contract.
Hopefully the wilder fight still goes ahead . if we here of whyte brezeele getting pulled you know what's coming

DuBoef said Top Rank’s agreement with Fury discusses future fights with Wilder and three-belt heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua, “but there’s a lot more to the Tyson Fury business than just those two fights. We see him as a gem in the rough, just barely been exposed yet in the U.S.”

I never liked Warren but that was a brilliant move.

Originally posted by SeGoodland View PostLet it go to purse bid.
Purse bid:
If Arum/Warren win, Wilder has to take the fight. If Wilder refuses the fight, the WBC can strip him.
If Haymon wins and Fury refuses to fight on Showtime PPV, what can the WBC do to him? Other than maybe refuse to rank him in the future?
The only leverage I can see on Fury is through fans/media. If it goes to purse bid and Fury refuses the fight and opts for a borefest UD vs Pulev, it looks bad for Fury.

Originally posted by CocoonOfHorror View PostThe problem with a purse bid is that the WBC has no leverage over Fury. So it's a risk for Wilder and a free-roll for Fury and his team.

Originally posted by factsarenice View PostYou missed it, Wilder said he's network neutral & so are all of the PBC fighters. Al Haymon is an advisor, not a promoter, he can't force a fighter to a network.
Wilder, Spence, Thurman, Mikey Garcia, Danny Garcia, LSC, Hurd, Charlos, Gervonta, etc.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
See a pattern?
