Comments Thread For: Wilder Manager: We Wanted The Rematch Next, Fury Didn't

[hitking]

What's ****** about the truth? Wilder fans have been saying all week Wilder wouldn't fight on ESPN and the fight wasn't happening. Should we just forget about that and pretend he was going to fight on ESPN?

So Wilder and Fury’s team have been negotiating a rematch the last couple months. All we heard was that it was a foregone conclusion that the fight was happening. Then, in the eleventh hour Fury pulls an autible and signs with Arum, which he had to know was gonna make it tough to do a rematch. Then, they send Wilder a deal which includes having to sign a multi-fight deal with Arum. Then the new Team Fury publically acknowledges that they want an interim fight. Yet you still find a way to indirectly blame Wilder for the rematch not happening immediately, which both Wilder and Fury say they wanted, until Tyson signed Arum. So yeah, your logic is ******.

We all knew Wilder was going to pull out. Why are Wilder fans now pretending like he wasn't? Nothing wrong with my logic. You're flip flopping.

Wilder didn’t pull out, Fury did. That’s what the facts show. Pardon me for basing my view on facts instead of your twisted psychic abilities.

🙅*♂️ Frank Warren on Wilder vs Fury II being on hold: "It's not our doing. ESPN/Top Rank, they're insisting they want to give Tyson an exposure fight in the States first... I'm very disappointed we're not going straight to it, but it is actually beyond our control."

📄 Shelly Finkel on Top Rank's offer to Deontay Wilder: “The deal effectively meant signing Deontay over to them and included a purse for a fight before the Tyson Fury rematch. But we didn’t want to - and are not going to - give up our fighter up to them.” [@***************]

Wilder's management team likes to play the victim all the time and makes other people looks bad. Inasmuch as that is childish it was also clear that there was no way Al will allow Wilder to fight at ESPN. So why play the victim. Arum is right. Let the PPV build, for Fury's stock though.

Both fighters said they wanted but because Tyson Fury signed a deal that took care of him financially he has to be the fighter that Ducked. Personally Tyson is not all there he rarely follows through with rematches but I can never question his heart. He threw himself in the deep end to be rewarded which he has. He should already have the WBC strap. He doesn’t and I couldn’t care less . However , there is no doubting the fighter that gained mostly in the Dec 1st bout was Fury. It is Wilder that needs the rematch more than Fury.

I watched an interview with Fury even after him signing the deal that all he wants is Wilder still. He contradicts himself daily but so does Wilder. Why would Wilder come out and say he is a free agent? Did you honestly see him going to ESPN or DAZN? Of course you didn’t so why did he say it then?

Wilder was so hell bent on the rematch that his team didn’t want to entertain becoming undisputed which is weird. It is what it is

[petegrif]

The plot thickens
good for AJ though
he fights M and if he wins he can fight either of them

[Akutalee]

Aj also wanted to fight you... everyone is in the sport to make money

"Facts" has become a shop worn word on this forum, but you are right. The WBC statement confirms that Wilder was still willing to continue the process and Fury was not, and they could have called a bluff with a purse bid. 100% this is Fury pulling out. I'm surprised to find myself agreeing with a Wilder tweet, but what he wrote yesterday was **** on.

So who will Tyson Fury fight next?

That is the question.

Arum guys Oscar Rivas, Joseph Parker, Kubrat Pulev, Bryant Jennings


Should be Tyson vs Parker & Wilder vs Oscar on the same night on ESPN + to set up the PPV in the fall
