What's stopping AJ vs. Fury on ESPN PPV from happening next?

[BangEM]

I agree with what you said here, thats just not what you said in previous post. You gotta give Fury some credit and drawing power and thats why it would be a blockbuster. I dont live in the UK and dont know what the average brit would do so good to know, and couldnt give 2 Shi*s about BJS as he somehow has more boring fights than Fury

I used BJS because they're birds of a feather.

My point is: what Josh can do on his own, Fury would need a decent dance partner to achieve it. So he can't ask for 50/50 based on that alone. He also has no belt. I think that's why the fight would even be more difficult than the Wilder fight.

I don't see the both of them fighting until 2021.

For Joshua - Fury to happen, one of them would have to drop their demands. Joshua wants 60 - 40. Fury wants at least 50 - 50.

I doubt either would be willing to compromise unless the fight is for undisputed.

Everything else would be in favour of the fight. Hearn is desperate to promote the biggest fight in the World. Bob Arum signed Fury specifically to make big profits off the AJ and Wilder fights. MTK have a positive relationship between all 3 promoters. Sky Sports Head of Boxing says that a deal could be worked out with BT to ensure the fight can be made.

It's only the split that makes the fight impossible right now.

its simple...hearn cant afford to have AJ fight off DAZN....if he does skipper is pissed...he lost one of his major pieces and now he wont wanna buy hearns crap fights.....the thing is everyone knows this...which is why fury and wilder arent running to AJ.....but they know eventually AJ will either have to offer them huge money or move off DAZN to make a fight the public actually cares about

The only thing stopping Joshua vs top-ranked opponents is the percentage splits. Hearn wants his side to make all the money from a fight while the opponent takes away a very small chunk of the prize. This may work well against lowly ranked opponents but will be a big hindrance to top-level fights.

I don't see Wilder settling for anything less than 50-50. Fury may agree somewhere near 45-50 and Dillian in the 30-35 range. Otherwise, it will be an endless show of Hearn saying, "he is ducking AJ", "She is ducking AJ", and we'll end up with another Andy Ruiz.

I like it. Let's make it a tournament. Those two should get it on first and then that way Wilder could fight the winner for the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world.

That fight should be much easier to make anyhow, since they are both British. Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua. Then there will be one champion from Great Britain and one champion from the U.S. For the undisputed championship.

AJ can fight on any network. Wilder is fighting Ortiz next. The next best fight to make in the HW division is Fury/AJ. AJ & Hearn should be looking to make that fight next. Yet they're still talking about Wilder.

AJ vs Fury may be the biggest fight in British history

PROJECTION...........the ********/**** way. It's always the same thing, same tactics, so old, so lame too. Why is Wilder fighting a 50 yr old on heart medication that he already knocked out? LMAO....can you explain that with any degree of sense, without being totally soaked in shill juice?

They aren't ppv fighters in the US unless Wilder is involved.

Josh vs Fury is a UK fight that will happen in the UK. It's the biggest fight in British history.

I don't think the both of them will fight until the end of Fury's ESPN deal. Fury has nothing Josh wants and there's no incentive since Fury wants 50/50. If Fury can accept his true worth, then it might happen. But 50/50 for a boring fighter with no belt, no earning power and no real fan base - it's not happening.

You sound like Eddie Hearn with all the excuses! Fury relinquished the belts to deal with personal issues. AJ has the belts b/c of this reason. All 3 HWs should split the money 50/50 in their showdowns. After the dust settles, each will have pocketed close to $ 1B (including rematches), we'd have one undisputed champion, and all fans would happy!

That is NOT PPV in America, not right now! I would think that is done in the UK and Streams on ESPN+ or DAZN Live

ESPN PPV? That would be a total flop.

If AJ is a bigger star in the US like so many claim he is he should double the Fury/Wilder PPV numbers
