why did Fury sign with ESPN instead of immediate rematch with Wilder?

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Nah it was for the money. Just like wilder told Al pay me what DAZN offered me or I am gone.

It’s all business. Wilder took a big chunk of the showtime budget when he got the bag.

That’s why when showtime had previously announced monthly pbc shows they couldn’t fulfill it. That’s why there are no showtime shows in August September and November. Just a cheap October show and a December show.

Idgaf about showtime we’re talking about fury the big boring dosser who couldn’t even get 6000 people to his last fight. His guarantee purse was 1M for Schwarz I don’t want to hear that money crap.

He made 8 figures to fight Schwarz and another 8 figures to fight Wallin

Because he was damn near decapitated in their first bout. In addition, the man is scared shit less of Wilder and is afraid and so full of lies and excuses on why it has taken him more than a year; 14 months to be exact to have ever step back inside of a boxing ring to challenge Deontay Wilder again. Wilder is going to fuck him up the next time. I can guarantee you that. Fury can run but he cannot hide.

[Floyd is TBE]

Wilder's power put fear into Fury's heart. And Wilder did mention he planned on coming in bigger for the second fight. I think that scared the **** out of Fury. He had a massive weight advantage on Wilder in the first fight and still couldn't hurt Wilder. Oh and he got knocked on his ass twice. He's scared, would rather waste his career away fighting bums than a risk another fight with Wilder.

He took a huge payday, and which any of us would do.

ESPN wanted a heavyweight champion to help grow the espn+ app so that’s why he’s doing his America tour before the rematch.

[Mister Wolf]

The same reason why NFL players dont want to play on a one year franchise tag for a **** load of money when they can get a potential guaranteed multi year contract elsewhere.

[sicko]

He is getting paid 15 Million to beat on guys like Schwarz and now Wallin so I would say he made the right move

Yeah no chit
Money talks and bullchit walks , right ?
In this case both statements are correct

[juggernaut666]

Wilder brings in no money , why would Fury decline a deal offer worth 80/ 100 million for easier fights and then Wilder rematch which he gets more off his contract ? This should be common sense.


The Arum deal itself came about bc of Wilder unwillingness to go to the U.K for a rematch and stalled the fight long enough for Warren and Drum to make deals so it's on Wilder if he wanted that fight so bad.

Those saying Fury ran are just plain dumb., when he took the fight in the first place that he wasn't supposed to win .
