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

[kafkod]

Yes, after Tyson Fury pulled an Adonis Stevenson and ran away to a rival network for protection.

Stevenson knew that Kovalev wasn't a free agent and couldn't fight him on ST.

Wilder is a free agent and there was no reason why he couldn't have accepted Fury's offer and fought him on ESPN.

Fury already fought Wilder on PBC/Showtime and got robbed. If that hadn't happened the rematch would also have been on PBC/showtime.

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.

Boxrec has Lewis #16 all time and Bruno #60 all time.

Meanwhile, Joshua is already #27 all time, with a lot of time left. What he's doing right now is really really special and the fact that his promoter wisely stalled the Wilder fight for a bit doesn't change the fact that Joshua's accomplishments are incredible for so few fights.

You know that isn't true.

Dana White made those same excuses for McGregor regarding Mayweather, and we see what happened. Same with the Pacquiao fight, which apparently was impossible due to both guys being on rival networks. Contracts can be amended, and for the money offered, that one should have been.

If a requirement for a fight is to fight 3 other fights first (even though I admit that the deal was legit), then we know who doesn't want to fight. BTW it's nice to see you admit that the $50M offer was real lol

Why does Wilder have to sign a 3 fight deal to DAZN to get the AJ fight? That fight can happen WITHOUT Wilder signing the 3 fight deal. AJ isn't even signed to DAZN so why should Wilder? Did Fury have to sign with PBC to fight Wilder? Hearn and Arum are the ONLY 2 saying Wilder HAS TO sign to their platforms to get a fight.

Hearn has you brainwashed, so it's a waste of time trying to discuss the facts with you. If you really think the promoter of boxing's biggest cash cow was in a rush to put him into the ring with the division's most dangerous puncher, more power to ya.

The rematch has to marinate, I guess.

Are you kidding me? A 1/2 and a suspect chin! 27th all time? What happens when Miller crushes that arse? Will he be 28th all time?

this has already been proved to be fake and after Hearn completely closing down Espinosa and calling him out on this fake offer....it didn’t exist pancake man and your just another dummy that supports wilder running away from his career highest purse...Joshua will earn 25 plus million against miller and dosser will again make 2.4 million against Joshua left overs lol
Pancake man the 50 million never existed and no contract was ever sent...so settle down go order another bucket of fried chicken and munch on that pancake man...treat yourself it’s sunday

The saddest part of the whole equation is that Wilder will not get a shot at A.J. Miller will tap that glass jaw and send the brit back home with his tail between his legs.

pathetic, not sure why we got to wait so long

Hearn is not saying that Wilder has to sign with DAZN to fight AJ!

The three fight deal offer came from DAZN, not Eddie.

DAZN made Wilder that offer because he has to fight Breazeale next, and John Skipper wanted Wilder vs Breazeale to be on DAZN too.

Hearn is saying that if AJ and Wilder both win their next fights, then all options for an AJ/Wilder fight will be open for negotiation, including any offers that come from Wilder's side to have the fight on Showtime.

He is saying that DAZN will offer Wilder either a 2 fight deal with AJ, or just a straight one fight deal, with no rematch clause, if that's what Wilder wants.

He also made it clear that AJ is willing to fight Wilder on Showtime, if they come up with a better offer than DAZN.
