Comments Thread For: Wilder: Why Won't Fury Take Rematch if He Feels He Was Robbed?

[Bjl12]

Manny was the champ and got robbed then refused to negotiate for a fight under the conditions he felt he got robbed under. Plus I think Bob wanted him to sign a long term deal to get the rematch.

So Wilder won and Manny got robbed?

Did you go 0/64 in your NCAA bracket?

I think its great what fury has done. If u get robbed, dont bother fighting them again. It's not the fighter who has got robbed that has anything prove.

Because you'll Rob him again, that's why he won't take the fight , just like the referree robbed Luis Ortiz when he basically knocked you out and the referree gave you extra time to recover

Wilder didn't perform well against Fury, but to say he was "schooled" is laughable. In a decision I would have given Fury a slight edge for the win, but come on.
Fury landed an average of about one punch more per round than Wilder, and was saved from the KO by the ref, while 99% of the refs would have waved it off instead of kneeling next to him and yelling in his ear. I'm surprised he didn't get the smelling salts out too.

A rematch is justified, except Fury knows he luckily escaped a KO. Why isn't he just honest and say he wants a tune-up?

Wilder was punching air all night and Fury made him look like a complete mug. Even the rounds that Fury got dropped in, he got straight back up and dominated the rest of them.

Plus that was only a 70% fit Fury in there. A 100% Fury stops Wilder in 8 rounds.

WILDER is an honorable fighter. Let's look at FLOYD who gave rematches immediately to CASTILLO and MAIDANA because those were very close and controversial. WILDER was trying to honor FURY by doing the same but FURY's heart pumped koolaid and now is fighting C listers. FURY made a coward move!

Because nothing has changed. The rematch was literally a rematch of the 1st fight, PBC control, PBC venue, PBC chosen officials. If the 1st one is a robbery and nothing has changed for the 2nd then its just another robbery incoming. Fury isnt a knockout artist he needs fairness from the judges.

In the 1st fight he gave all control over to the PBC and stated that his only real demand was a fair crack of the whip and a fair fight and he didnt get it. He got shafted instead and then Team Wilder wanted him to go through the exact same again.

Same reason Finkel and Wilder are turning down fantastic offers from Matchroom then even better ones from DAZN. They need the Joshua fight to be on Showtime and under the control of a PBC card. Until they get that they will NEVER fight Anthony Joshua.

They didn't take the dazn offer because they didn't want to be pawns for Joshua in negotiations. If dazn gives Wilder 40 THEN negotiates with AJ AJ is getting at least 40 and can pressure them for more. Hell Wilder could end up getting AJ 70=80 out the situation

[MC Hammer]

To no get that Al haymon SD bias card again isn't it obvious idiontey?

Cool then the rematch never happens. Fury doesn't get the money from his deal and Wilder still has the option to go to dazn for AT LEAST 100 mil for 2 AJ fights or he can get the fight on PPV. Fury screwed himself here

Wilder will lose this one and look foolish.

Such confidence...would you bet your money on it?

[Buggy bear]

It's all a ****ing over inflated circus where somewhere down the line money will be lost by someone somewhere ..about the only guarantee in boxing ..

The troll has no money to make a bet. Fury is ducking the rematch like he did against Klit. AJ turned down 50 million and played so many shenanigans that everything is fair play now between him and Wilder. AJ fanatics so desperate to call Wilder a ducker when their guy is straight up *****. The Dazn deal doesn’t make sense for Wilder to get a lower amount of money in a rematch with AJ. After all the games it’s going to have to be 50/50 minimum or no fight. Deal with it. Wilder has the best advisors and his stock has risen tremendously so the price can only go up. Wilder knows AJ is going to run out of opponents eventually so they will fight. The fight would have already taken place if AJ felt he was ready, but he and his advisors have said he is not so we wait.
