****ing Arum. This is why we cant have nice things

[sicko]

WBC don't run nothing they just like to pretend like they do only to be reject then trying to create some Customize Belt just to be mentioned during the EVENT

[HURTFEELINGS]

It makes alot of sense if they feed Fury someone to ko and Wilder someone to ko, THAT MAKES AJ LOOK bad, two hw fighters fighting for 2 YEARS, while AJ fights nobodies...it gives the Wilder vs Fury winner into great leverage vs AJ

Got dammnittt here we go with the Arum bull****. Build that stadium Bob...

[EL_GRINGO]

Bob has this uncanny ability of making you realise straight away that negotiations are not going to be easy. A 19th century kill joy

Your absolute correct, he's always badmouthing Haymon but he is cleary himself making it hard in this particular situation

I used to get mad at fights not getting made, now I just pay less attention to the sport.

It’s not that cut and dry. Most thought Fury won the first fight, so Wilder needs the rematch more. Wilder is a belt holder, but Fury is Lineal. Like it or not Fury’s profile benefited more from the first fight. He can go fight bums if he wants, and Wilder can go back to doing the same also

No argument there. Wilder need the fight for financial and reputational reasons. Fury - for money and the belt. The longer he goes without a belt the less meaningful all that lineal business is. Every fighter in the history of the sport aimed for a belt. Fury is not kidding anyone when he says he doesnt care about it. He is not a journeyman. I agree that Fury should have been declared a winner, but he also must realize that he might not wake up next time so quickly. Otherwise why would he allow other profiteers to derail that fight with Wilder?

That's right Arum we don't but we don't need you to dictate Wilder-Fury rematch purses either because you want to give your guy a higher percentage split of the purse than Deontay Wilder; Which is another deal breaker since Wilder is the A-side by being the WBC's heavyweight champion.

Should Liam Smith have been the A side against Canelo because he was champ? Should Victor Ortiz have been A side against Mayweather because he was champ? Exactly. No they shouldn't.

Neither was the A side in the first fight between Fury and Wilder. It should have been 50/50 split. But with Fury beating Wilder and being the real WBC champ, it should be split 60/40 Fury's way. Any other deal doesn't make sense. Unless you're unhinged in the head that is.

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.

Wilder is making sacrifices and taking shorts to give us the fights we need?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahaha

What sacrifices are those? Where did he take the short end of the stick to get fights made?

God damn do you creep me out. It's like you're programmed to say the opposite of truth in everything you say. But the scary thing is, you actually believe it.
