Obviously in regards to the Tyson Fury Deontay Wilder rematch. Its the fight we all want right now, its the fight we thought we were going to get. The WBC sanctioned it and then a little later ordered it, they have now allowed 2 extensions with the 2nd one being limitless timewise. It is becoming quite clear the 2 fighters are starting to look in other directions and this fight right now is looking very much off.
The WBC can force this if they really want it and if they sanction and then order a rematch of a voluntary and freeze out their mandatory yet again then i get the impression they really want it.
My cynical side tells me that the WBC is a corrupt piece of **** organization who colludes with promoters of certain fighters to ensure things go their way. My cynical side tells me they sanctioned the rematch as a way of telling Dillian Whyte and Dom Breazeale to shut up about getting Wilder right now.
My cynical side then tells me the ordered the rematch because Tyson Fury and his trainer were talking about taking a step back, getting back to fitness so there is no reason why Wilder could not negotiate with Joshua, Joshua and Hearn were waiting to jump in with offers and contracts that Finkel had been brushing off as Fury was their goal right now. That then looks bad on Wilder as at that point there is no reason why they could not start negotiations, something Finkel and Wilder dont want, so they then ORDER the rematch.(how often do they order rematches of voluntary defences?) Now there is a very solid reason why Finkel and Wilder can once again ignore Hearn and Joshua and the emails and phone calls and offers and contracts and have an excuse why now.
But now Joshua has signed up for something else but Fury has signed to ESPN. Im sure Haymon and Finkel would of been very confident of rolling right over Frank Warren in any purse bids but i bet they are not half as confident of just rolling right over Bob Arum with the backing of ESPN. |And thats why Pursebids wont be forced because thats not what Haymon wants. But the WBC have the power and if they were honest and stuck to their own rules this would be forced on the fighters.
