    imma call wilders hands "espn plus"

    wilders right hand and left hand made fury run into the arms of an app that boasts two major other stars who have A. sold 60k ppvs b. never headlined their own ppv

    but were supposed to tell wilder to jump over there even though his showtime has put on the two highest grossing ppvs ever?

    absurd...absolute lunacy

    how much do you venture espn is going to pay fury to fight Bryant Jennings on espn+ this summer?

    id like to hear some guesses and figures...ill start the bidding at 5 million

      Does anyone know how Bob arum became involved while the wilder negotiations were ongoing?


      Did team fury go to him? Did top rank approach fury?

      It's a unusual situation with unusal timinf to say the least..any info on how it came about?

        There is no loyalty in boxing, it’s all about business. Not all boxers have business sense though. For example Pacman, when everyone left Bob Arum at the right time and they all went on to make mega money he stuck with Arum out of “Loyalty”. Wilder is one of them boxer that doesn’t really have business sense. But I might be wrong.

          Fury outclassed wilder to the point of embarrassment

          Wilder is only holding onto his belt because he got a lucky punch and dropped fury in the 12th

            no idea...my best guess would be arum pursued fury

            you know bob will do anything to stick it to haymon...and this was a way...hes going to try everything he can to hope they'll come begging for fury....but I don't think they will....haymon and finkel will find a way....they'll find something....they may go to AJ and play nice with hearn....

            bob wants them to come begging for fury or for them to have "nothing"....wilder was steadily building his profile and momentum...arum is trying to thwart that....all because al wouldn't give danny to Crawford lol

            its kinda sad bob goes for als weakest link in the big 4 WW's....but if al said "hey man ive got a good deal here for spence/Crawford" ole bob would be telling us how its not big enough yet and they need more time to build them into ppv stars

              was actually two punches

              and wilder had already put fury down before lol

              guess wilder always finds a way to "get lucky" once or twice every fight huh?

                Absolutely

                If he doesn’t drop Fury we know he 100% loses the decision

                Look at the scorecards wilder got lucky in the 12th and barely held onto his belt

                  al is the "business sense"....Floyd didn't have a lot of business sense either till al got in his ear when Floyd was with arum.....

                  look at how bad bob missed out on Floyd?

                  how many fighters have named their children after bob? I know of at least one who did for haymon
