What do Fury, Wilder, Ortiz and Whyte have in common?

Fury asked for a flat fee and then turned down over 20 mil. Nice try though.

Still a flat fee.

There’s still a huge demand for all those three fighters to fight Joshua and the original offers were so ridiculous they’ll still more money from him than originally offered. If anything of them become mandatories, they’ll command a 35% purse split which would blow away anything they were offered by Joshua.

How can they only make more you fool? Some of them have to lose if they fight each other.

Ortiz was mandatory and walked away to fight Wilder for 500k.

Ortiz was stripped of his mandatory position because of a failed drug test.

That was after he already signed to fight Wilder. The Wilder fight stripped him of his mandatory anyway. Win or lose the Wilder fight he'd lose the mandatory position.

Every offer was more than they had ever made.

It's not like these fights only have to happen once.

They can make more than they ever made and still get the market value in the future.

And of course if they believe they'll win, as most on here do, then there's no risk at all. It will put them in Joshua's place and catapult them to mega money.

If they believe they can win.
