Fight is off.

You were offered a life changing amount of money and an opportunity to be undisputed but ‘ till this day’ you didn’t want it. You thought you were slick with all this baby oil talk.

Wilder vs Charles Martin May 24th 2019 on the Disney channel PPV.... guaranteed purse $460,000

Fight is off. Arum wants the fight on ESPN just like he wants every fight of his. He will not allow any of his fighters to fight off ESPN unless he loses a purse bid. And those purse bids he loses is mainly for fighters that are building their name up. Arum talks about working with other promoters and Haymon not allowing his fighters to fight on ESPN, but its pretty much Arum who is strong arming fighters from different promoters to fight on ESPN. It's not like he's working with other promoters and having his fighters fights on their networks. I guess people feel its ok for Arum to force everyone to fight his top fighters on ESPN and come out an say he works with every promoter. Fury isn't fighting AJ orWilder anytime soon.

The old fart simply wants to lay out the ground rules so he can dictate the terms and conditions of the fight to the reigning WBC titleholder Deontay Wilder which is something the champion won't do.

I said it before and I’ll say it again, Wlder’s next big fight is AJ. He will not risk his O and title on a fight he already lost once vs Fury so they’ll make sure they have a 2 fight deal with AJ lined up.

Morally maybe, if you had Fury winning the first fight which I did. However, like it or not Wilder is the champion and he deserves the lion share of the money. Being a belt holder has to mean something? At least let it mean something monetary wise. 60/40 is more than fair. In any case Fury gives his money to charity so let’s not worry about his percentage

Where's this thinking when Wilders demanding 50/50 from Joshua? or when ggg Canelo fights were being made? ridiculous double standards as always, no reason for European fighters to appease the American boxing industry and just bend over and accept getting the short end of the stick, especially not in this division

[champion4ever]

Hot damn! Boxing fans are more concerned about how much a boxer makes rather than seeing good fights. Wilder is making sacrifices and taking shorts just to give some of our dumb asses something to look forward to. However, the vast majority of us doesn't appear to give a shit which I find both very frustrating and disappointing.

Now who the Hell Tyson Fury is going to fight with all that money he is making? How many good pay per view heavyweight fighters does Top Rank even has in its stable at the moment in order to justify signing him to such a contract? He is not even a box office draw among casual fans.

So according to you. Wilder secretly convinced Tyson to sign with a rival promoter. So that he could duck a Fury rematch.

Here we go with this guy. Lol

Wilder can demand as much as he wants he doesn’t deserve 50% . I used to say even Wilder fans know he doesn’t derserve 50%against AJ but since Fury and the baby oil scandal Wilderlites have turned mad

[Thuglife Nelo]

Wow. Now Wilder fans will realize why Canelo always gave an F.U. to this org and coercing their Champions on what to do and when while they dictate purses. This is why Canelo thre the belt in the trash and didn’t accept any special bead breaded indigenous strap, and that’s why WBC-CBP flexed Canelo when they didn’t to Francisco Vargas. De La Hoya was too coked out to defend this double standard because he himself had trash on his back as well as GBP having fighters aiming for the WBC.

Wilder should’ve been the guy to put his foot above all and given Fury 50/50.
