New interview: Fury confirms wilder must fight on ESPN

[MastaBlasta]

You are once again telling him to not fight for more money ? Ha

Your guy turned down $50 million, now who is a fool? And who's fans are fools?

Anyway, I didn't say "don't fight". Signing with arum was my comment, and not many current champs will do that ...

Ok, back under your rock:

Says all opponents must fight on ESPN or it will not happen.

Blames Eddie hearn for fights not happening.

Says he will give Whyte title shot after he beats wilder

I know I'm beating a dead horse but broadcasters restricting fights based on whether or not the fighters are signed to them is forbidden under the Ali act. ESPN is an American broadcaster.

It was a void offer.Joshua didn't have a contract he was giving a proposal with no details besides it's a U.S fight .Joshua can make money on PPV and get that money in 2 fights.

It would take Wilder between 10 and 15 fights what AJ is making on his next fight without PPV or guaranteed contract payments!

The only rock is you !

[MastaBlasta]

It was a void offer.Joshua didn't have ... Joshua can make money on PPV ... It would take Wilder between 10 and 15 fights .. etc nonsense

So it's ok to turn down money when YOU say so, and not when YOU say not? LOLOL, ok ... no more time for the peanut gallery. G'nite young lady

[Bullrider]

PBC fans want it on Showtime doe. True fans want the fight anywhere.

Why is Tyson Fury breaking everyone balls? This coward knows knows damn well he holds no leverage or cards over Wilder at the bargaining table.

He is not this huge box office draw or crossover star that he thinks he is for Wilder to start chasing him in order to defend his title on his platform. He is only pricing himnself out because he doesn't want the fight. So kick rocks and go to Hell you juicing, drug abusing, dope using dosser and stay there!

Better yet why don't you return back to the same street corner where Wilder find you; Because Deontay doesn't need you nor ever had any use for you anyway because you've got nothing he wants? In other words he doesn't owe you shit!

Wilder said that fighting on other networks is not a problem. So if the rematch isn't made this won't be the reason why.

Because it'll be promoted by Arum who isn't gonna issue Wilder one of those patented Haymon second checks nor will he pay him enough to compensate him for that absence I'd be willing to bet.

If its not a one fight no option deal its not likely to happen either. Which is not something I've heard of TR being open to in the past very often.

This fight is more than likely dead now if the first fact of a deal involves the fight HAVING to be on a certain platform. That usually greatly reduces the chances of a fight happening if both are big names & I think thats what this fact if legit makes a reality.

I wouldn't go THAT far. I think you, & many cats, are being too emotional about this, towards either side with some of these remarks.

You gotta be joking if you think two guys who just f#cking fought are suddenly scared of the other guy. Or just isn't willing to fight them a 2nd time at some future date.

I would lean towards Fury wanting more time to get back to his old form cuz he likely realized 2015 Fury woulda won that fight. And even if 2018 Fury probably deserved to win the fight it woulda been a lot easier to win if he'd not spent a couple years f#cking off. So I suspect this move insures Fury gets more time to get in tip top shape to insure he beats Wilder AND Joshua in the future.

But yea its not happening next with how things are moving by the day. I do think it'll happen in the future but probably only when the TR deal is over or the fight is too big for the sides to not do a deal.

Yes, I understand and get all of that. However, what Tyson Fury doesn't know is that Wilder wants the rematch now and immediately. Also, Fury has to know that he is not the be all and end all of boxing.

Moreover, Wilder is not going to be willing to wait another two fights down the line in order to challenge Fury for his own WBC heavyweight title again exclusively on his ESPN platform when he has a much more lucrative fight brewing on the horizon with Anthony Joshua. It's because after all, AJ is a much bigger box office draw, with a much larger fanbase and one who can pack a lot more meat in the seats among the mainstream, crossover casual fans than Tyson Fury.

In addition, the Joshua/Wilder fight could happen as soon as this Fall. Therefore, if it does happen, then the Tyson Fury rematch would be an aftermath and a long distant memory. Then Fury would find himself left out in the cold again.

aj and wilder fighting later this year could end up pretty disastrous for espn and top rank....if wilder wins he will get the sheet end of the stick to fight wilder again...wilders people will bend fury over and make him take a crap deal and they wont be fighting on any damn espn or espn app you can bet that

even if joshua wins and the fight is close and decent it will warrant a rematch....

espn and top rank would have to pray that joshua comes out on the good end of any fight/fights with wilder....because theyll probably be pleasant with fury and it will be a big fight in the uk so theyll make out well

any scenario where wilder comes out on the good end and they could spite fury and take his ass to the woodshed
