If they choose to go their separate ways, does this mean WBC will strip Wilder and pit Breazele vs Whyte to fight for it? What's going on?
    Well the WBC has mandate the rematch, which means Wilder cannot walk away from it unless the WBC change their stance (No one would be shocked with a corrupt organisation like them).

    The only person that can walk away scot-free now is Fury. He can decide to go for the rematch or not without too much consequences.

    We are going to see a delay in the Whyte/Breazeale agreement, because one of them might get the call to fight Wilder if Fury doesn't go straight for the rematch.

      Totally agree, all we need to do is look at Arum's past to confirm this.
      He will let certain fighters go to other networks like other promoters, but of course his top guns he wouldn't. That's why when there is a match up between two big names involving Lomachenko/Crawford, he is always talking Co-PPV. Never once hey the network to offer the most money could put the fight on. And he's absolutely in his right to have that mindset. But he just puts on a front of being able to work with every promoter when in reality he has no problem working with any promoter when they come to HIS network.

        He’s now Arum’s side b**ch
        Really is, unless it wasn't his idea of Fury signing with Arum and he kind of went behind Warren's back to do it? Because the backing of ESPN is GREAT, but clearly it is Arum who calls all the shots now, not Warren. I mean the contract states that Fury has to fight in the states twice a year so he is essentially an American based fighter now. What is Warren's use here? UK TV rights?

          Damn!!! ESPN just got SUKERED into a $100 million deal with a fighter with ZERO belts and both HW's that have them fight on other networks. Fury and Wilder aren't fighting and no F'n way does AJ fight on ESPN on what their paying for him.... ESPN bought a name with no one to fight.

          LMFAO!!! I haven't seen a robbery this bad since PBC burned through those billions in record time.

            I mean obviously the plan is to eventually make the Wilder and Joshua fights. Will they happen? Who knows, but certainly they have to go after those fights to warrant the deal he has....Which, let's be real, may not be close to what is being reported.

              Of course i have seen that with him, when its some scrummy fighter of his he is willing to do a deal like that. But if that was one of his better known names then forget it.

                  bad example. Crawford mostly fights non TR opponents. Khan Felix Diaz John Molina Dierry Jean Ricky Burns Gamboa Thomas Dukorme etc etc. He is just the opposite.

                    Tremendous offer? Likely a tremendous smokescreen. Once again Wilder's mouth will hand him an L in the court of public opinion. When Bob's offer doesn't allow for dual broadcast or any PBC kickback and he is urged to turn it down, he will look like he is ducking in spite of his willingness to sign before Fury went to Top Rank.

                      Fury Bamboozled the sht out of ESPN. And Top Skank has ZERO quality HW's. This is 10x worse than what their paying Crawford to fight the Khans of the world.
