    I will say this about Arum he is definitely better at this **** than Eddie Hearn
    Editing and cutting out quotes to mislead people.

    "ESPN+ will pay significant money for them to fight other fighters and then to do the rematch on pay-per-view in the fall," Arum said. "That is all open for discussion. It's certainly not a deal breaker if they want to do the rematch next. Fury is happy either way.

      arum also said that he would have no problem
      doing a espn/showtime co promotion ppv. The article u show is when it was revealed by Wilder that he is not tied down by showtime.

      Just like arum said he would do showtime/espn for crawford Spence. But if he doesn’t have to involve showtime he wouldn’t just like Haymon wouldnt involve espn if he didn’t have too.

        How is it misleading when it says he will be sending a multi fight deal to Wilder?

        That's what the thread is about Arum sending a contract for Wilder to sign with ESPN+ which he tried before and was rejected and now is using Fury rematch to get Wilder

          The thread is about Arum wanting to sign Wilder to multiple fights instead of just the Fury fight.

          You deleted that he has said they can have the fight next to mislead people. You actually took time to delete that specific sentence. You knew full well what you were doing.

            Here what Arum said since he signed Fury 1.Fury will have interim fight before a rematch 2. they will not held WBC order or purse bid 3. he wants both Wilder and Fury to fight on ESPN + (different than ESPN PPV)

            Arum doesn’t want showtime to be involved he doesn't like Espinoza or showtime and I doubt he will ever work with them if he doesn't get Wilder on ESPN+ I'm sure he will try for AJ assuming he is not on long term with DAZN

              No the thread is "the tremendous offer" Arum sending wilder is for a multifight deal which is true Arum saying he is willing to negotiate a one fight deal is irrelevant since that is not what is being sent over

                It doesn't benefit Fury or Wilder at this point. Fury escapes with the moral victory and keeps his 0. Wilder keeps his 0 as well and the next Fury fight is probably gonna be much harder for him.

                They could both agree to fight two tune-ups which further builds their names and then fight each other down the line, 0's intact. It makes too much business sense to not make them fight right away. Sad but true. Fury will fight a black American (rank doesn't matter) so they can show that off on American TV. Wilder will fight whoever (again, rank doesn't matter).
                Interesting take. I don't think having PickANumber and Oh records matters much on the interest front. Both of these guys are established and everyone knows they are top of the food chain. Even if they both had a loss or two from early in their careers and still ended up where they are now, the interest wouldn't be any lower. If you're stressing no losses happening in between a potential rematch, I hear you.

                ESPN will go crazy if Wilder signs and they get to air a tune up fight of his as well as Fury before their rematch this fall on PPV. The average sports fan will end up knowing A LOT more about those two than they did previously. Every basketball, baseball, and football game will show promos for those fights and they'll have the commentators of those games making predictions. Probably even have Deontay or Tyson on the headsets for a portion of some games. The fight definitely won't lack hype. This is all if Wilder plays ball. If ESPN and Arum do not offer something close to whatever Deontay is looking for and he doesn't sign, where do they go for competitive fights for Fury in the near future?

                All in all, it hasn't been that long ago since they fought (DEC 1). We all thought/expected that competitive spirit alone would motivate them to set a rematch date for this spring within days after the Draw that they fought to but business sense intervened. If one or both of them have one tune-up/stay busy fight and a rematch takes place less than one year from the first bout, I can't complain. Wish it was sooner but I understand.

                  Wilder had his home cooked chance and he blew it

                  He's the C-side now

                  He needs to be humble and do whatever it takes to force either AJ/Fury to fight him

                  But no, Breazeale/Kownacki 2019 now for sure

                  Deontay Wilder is a damn coward

                      Arum isn't going to fork out cash to see Wilder vs Fury in a one off knowing there is potential for Fury to get knocked out. He'll do his typical Arum schtick and throw in the contract something where he has options on Wilder. Let's all not act like we don't know how it works, especially with old Bob. Dude isn't changing his ways just because people on here don't like Wilder
