Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: Wilder-Fury Rematch - Not Until February 2020

[Robbie Barrett]

Yes Robbie a Multi fight deal , That multi fight deal was reportedly 4- 5 Fights not 2

Keep believing Robbie , I mean Arum ls on record within a span of just a couple weeks going from saying he was Ok for a immediate rematch , then He wanted both to have fight and set it up in the fall and now they want the rematch in feb 2020 . It’s so obvious that Arum would want that rematch to happen in the fall

we’re going to ignore the other articles that stated Wilder wasn’t guaranteed a Fury rematch in the fall to if he signed with Espn

Those other articles aren't ESPN and the ESPN article doesn't say "unconfirmed" or "rumour" it says that was the offer.

Not sure why idiot Wilder signed with Showtime other than to lick Haymon's nuts. He's not going to get the only two fights that matter over that.

try not being a fgt for like two seconds....wilder didnt sign with showtime hes simply using them for at least his next fight

just like joshua is on a fight by fight basis with DAZN..he is not signed to them either....but i bet youve forgotten that or never even knew

when both guys are done with their next fights they can revisist this....wilder has ducked NOTHING...neither guy was fighting each other NEXT

now shut your cawk trap and move along fgt

Fury clearly doesn't want to fight Wilder again. It is so blatantly obvious now. He is hiding behind ESPN to avoid a Wilder rematch. Tyson is retreating and ducking. So Team Wilder best shot is to get Joshua in the ring. He clearly wants the fight now but it has to be on fair and equal terms.

first bob was like "hey were sending wilder this great offer"

even though the previous day he said "wed like to delay this fight until the end of the year"....now hes saying early 2020 instead of end of the year

remind you of anyone?

wilder-"ill fight in the UK for 12.5....but it has to be this year"

hearn "oh whats the date on the contract? april 2019"...

LOL...these guys constantly jerk wilder and his people around and then want them to play ball with whatever terms they come up when they want....its hilarious...then youve got fury having the nerve to tell us wilder dont answer him

Yes Robbie I’m sure Dan RAFEAL a Espn employee isnt going to write a article about Top Rank , Bob Arum who control boxing on Espn and not have them shown in the best light possible, I mean he clearly wouldn’t have a agenda to make it seem that Fury /Arum want the fight to happen as soon as they can make it

Funny how Arum who you think was so eager to make a rematch in the fall and had it written in the offer to Wikder , Just now said a rematch won’t happen until feb 2020 at the earliest. I get it a lot has changed in the week or so it would only make sense to push it further into the future


Its very believable the contract he sent over would have stated the rematch would take place in the fall, I mean when Fury signed with Espn , Arum wasn’t quoted as saying he wanted the rematch to happen immediately then it miraculously went to taking place in thenfall and now He suddenly changed his mind and wants it to place in early 2020. I’m sure it’ll get pushed further down the road sometime in the future but yeah Arum definitely wanted that fight in the fall it’s obvious

you talk some **** pancake man don’t you lol...wilder has been 120 million to fight Joshua and walked away from it.....that’s 20 mil for breazeale and 40 mil x2 for Joshua and the streak of piss chickened out and will now face Dolly Parton breazeale who was smashed from ring to ring post by Joshua and get 2 million dollars for it.
Wilder will get smashed by Joshua and you I am sure will disappear down the Same **** hole you popped out of....$120 million for 3 fights wtf

Plunger Man? 50 mil for one fight? The DAZN offers were all about control. Joshua could have taken his "jolly arse" to the states for a one fight, 50 million dollar deal and refused. Where are you getting your info about Wilder getting 2 million for fighting Breazeale? The BBC mate? If and when they do meet up A.J will no longer be undefeated. "Big baby" may just fly that head!

Joshua is a great fighter. Much better than Frank Bruno was. Joshua is more likely to be remembered on par with a Lennox Lewis than a Frank Bruno.

The idea that Wilder is ducking Joshua is ridiculous, but that's no reason to insult Joshua. He unified three world titles at a young age and has knocked out numerous top ten opponents. He deserves everyone's respect.

I won't be surprised if Miller upsets Joshua though. I hold Miller in very high esteem and although I wouldn't make him the betting favorite against Joshua, Wilder or Fury, on a good night he's capable of beating any of them.

You are comparing Joshua with Lewis? Take a look at the guys that Lewis defeated: Tony Tucker, Razor Rudduck, Holyfield,Golota,Tua, Rahman, Tyson,Vitali Klitschko. Joshua has a resume filled with stiffs and an old Klitschko. Eric Molina, Parker, Takam, Martin,Breazeale, and the "great" Dillian Whyte. The brits are the only one's who believe that Whyte is any good. It's not about respecting the guy. I respect all fighters that enter the ring. It's about another British hype job. I consistently hear about how Joshua is being ducked. It's all B.S. Pulev just called him out. Why? Not just a pay day but beacause he believes that he can beat him. Miller will probably get there first though.

[Alan Smithee]

Be careful. There's also Brazil who could cause an upset.

Yes the country of Brazil would beat Wilder. As for Dominick Breazeale? Easy work for the "bronze bomber". I'll be there rooting Wilder on. I can't make the Joshua/Miller fight. I would have loved to see A.J get crushed in person. Oh well, that's what DAZN is for.

Everybody marinating.
