Unlike Wilder who thought he had cherrypicked Fury at a vulnerable time and still lost to him. Wilder fans are getting silly with these revisionist timelines.

    The only thing stopping this fight is Fury wanting 50% which with no belts and inferior star power is completely unwarranted.
    Another delusional AJ fanboy😂😂

    😂😂I’m far from a Wilder fan as well, unlike you I’m objective, I have no horse in this race.

    AJ directly called out Fury in the ring after the Wlad fight.

    All the top 3 are culpable for the big fights not happening. But at the very least Wilder and Fury have proved on Dec 1st that they are willing to face the best in the division, AJ is yet to do so. That’s indisputable.

      Either contribute or get put on ignore. Your first & only warning

      no contribution, really? I just stated hearn/dazn previously made an offer to fury but him and tr turned it down, to fight the almighty shwarz that is. And you threaten to put me on ignore? LMFAO.....You should seriously take this comedy act on the road, kid. and while youre at it, go fcuk yourself and your childish ways.

        There is really no use in arguing with an aj/hearn fanatic, both sides do have their faults in us not seeing this fight but those guys act like hearn and aj are pure innocent and have not contributed nothing that led to us not seeing the fight, they defend any aj oponent and frown upon anyone elses oponent, they run with anything hearn says even when its a blatant lie and contradiction, they are really unfair and you would be better off just toying with them instead of arguing with them and it turning into a name calling back n forth. They are loyal fans i get it but some of them take it a step further and they worship these men which is too much for me.

          The split and the UK TV stations are a though hurdle to get over IMO. That's where we are at with the top HWs today.

          Two TV stations co-screening is a very rare thing. I wonder how Warren would even feel about that with SKY towering over BT.

          With the split, Fury has to come down from that 50/50, Joshua has earned that higher percentage with the numbers/money he pulls in.

          I'm a Fury fan but I'm not sure what direction he is heading in. It doesn't look like he'll be fighting Whyte either. I imagine Arum wants to put him in with Wilder again in America soon-ish.

            No one is challenging wilder. He should be the one challenging the unified champ if he feels hez man enough to overthrow the current unified champ.
            Fury is less relevant for the course, hez got no belt. Let him go get a belt , then come for AJ.

              I think AJ/Fury should get it on but don't think Fury feels ready for AJ yet..
              I wonder whats stopped Wilder from stepping up, ever??? Might start a thread on it...... In fact, I don't need to do I, since the rest of the world knows already

              Bring out the old man once more! Wilder needs to look good against nobody again!!!

                Reading this thread,Posters tend to give non Haymon associated fighters every benefit of the doubt when fights don’t get made but kill the Haymon associated fighter if it doesn’t get made.

                If you can understand the financial reasons why fury/aj isn’t happening then you can do the same when it’s wilder/aj.

                  Especially for a guy who pulled out of the Wilder rematch & just said he's not interested in fighting Whyte

                    Isn't AJ exclusively on DAZN? Why would he even consider going to a rival network PPV to fight someone lesser than himself?

                    It would be like Canelo fighting Jacobs on Showtime PPV.

                      He is fight by fight with dazn but exclusively on SKY in the UK.

                      If the only thing stopping AJ/Fury is Fury demanding 50/50 that is basically him saying he doesn't want the fight at this point, there just isn't justification via the numbers or belts for 50/50.

                      Its understandable to a point, he hasn't made the type of set for life money AJ has so his ESPN deal will make him rich with little danger. Obviously no boxer is going to come out and say that, so the chat continues.

                      It would be nice if the media etc actually held people to account a bit more for what they say, Fury agreed to fight Whyte if it was for the WBC diamond belt, he wont and should be asked every interview why he wont now. Not to pick on Fury specifically but hopefully it would slow down the blatant shyte talk.
