    Top Rank will ship Pulev over to DAZN without any issues

        No. Only if the fighters can't agree it goes to purse bid.

          Yea Pulev doesnt draw ****. Thinking that's what happens now that this Wilder Fury deal has been announced. I was worried Arum was gonna try drag it out if couldnt get Wilder/Fury2

            Usyk's profile is very easy to build. The undisputed cruiserweight champion vs the unified heavyweight champion.

                Yea revising my opinion on this, now that Arum is getting Wilder/Fury with some ESPN involvement. Thought he was gonna fight to get AJ on Espn, now not as big of a need and pulev is **** lol

                  Fury is going to pull another fury on wilder and fight someone else lol. Wilder only announced the fury fight because he was getting tore up for the Ortiz fight.

                  Showtime is going to need all the help it can get when their own spokesman Jim grey ****ted on the Ortiz rematch for world to see in that post fight interview before wilder could announce it lol.

                    So you know the deal do you? Is it signed? You sure it wasn't just Fury having a bi polar episode and agreeing to whatever Wilder said on the phone and changing his mind tomorrow or next week?

                      There is an easy argument ticket sales & eyes on you beats the moves Team Wilder has made during Joshua's fight week, but that still doesn't change the fact Team Wilder has stepped all over Joshua's fight week & has the more interesting fights in the recent past & in the near future. Its easy to dog Wilder for his bs setup fights pre-title, but he's turned things up more & more as we've moved forward & Joshua has seemed to be coasting more despite the US debut he's about to have.

                      The last 18ish months for both guys:

                      Joshua
                      Oct 2017-Takam in a boring fight where Takam lasts way longer than most expected
                      Mar 2018-Weird fight vs Parker where Joshua is calling his own timeouts at various points
                      Sept 2018-most fun Joshua fight since the Klitschko a year & a half ago
                      June 2019-8mos off & vs a late sub who's weighing in at 268
                      Next-likely Pulev or Whyte, maybe Usyk if we're lucky

                      Wilder
                      Nov 2017-KO1 vs Bermane, the only guy who took Wilder the distance up til this point
                      Mar 2018-comeback KO vs Ortiz in Wilder's most competitive & exciting fight up til this point
                      Dec 2018-draw vs Fury in a top 3 battle in the division
                      Apr 2019-KO1 vs mando "Boobs" Breazeale
                      Sept 2019-rematch with Ortiz
                      Jan/Feb 2020-rematch with Fury

                      Regardless of ticket sales Wilder is the more fun product right now on May 31, 2019 & has been more fun in the recent path & looking more fun into the future.
