Comments Thread For: Fury: Joshua Fight Would Have To Be in Vegas, No More UK Fights

[Jim Tom]

UK fans must feel like idiots. Lmao!!!!! Now all you morons can quit asking why Wilder is fighting Fury in America. Has nothing to do with corruption, no one wants to fight in the UK. When UK fans start acting civilized they’ll start back getting some good fights.

What uncivilised things have UK fans done?

This is purely a business decision and nothing to do with fans behaviour. The USA s a bigger market for the fight and having it on prime time USA is the reason Fury wants the fight in the USA.

If hedoesn’t beat wilder he really will have no say when it comes to where the location is - if he wants the fight. He can play like he owns the aces but he is a prizefighter and knows he has to fight Joshua to get any cash.

Saudi Arabia makes a lot of sense because they can play it in uk time zone (therefore take ppv from uk at premium numbers) and still get a huge site fee.

If fury wins the WBC he obviously holds a far stronger power, particularly since espn are likely to want to keep hold of him. Then it will potentially come more tricky with the espn vs dazn barrier I suspect, America is definitely more of a possibility

Fury already turned down Joshua in April 2019. And now he comes up with another excuse.

Fury isn't going to have any belts - he should just take the fight wherever it is. Beggars can't be choosers.

People keep saying how easy AJ is to beat with his glass-jaw then refuse to take the fight. Why is everyone so scared?

Well if he won against wilder and therefore was fighting AJ he would be wbc champ and some form of lineal and ring. He would be undefeated with wins over wilder and klitschko. It would be hard to justify not fighting him

It's about big fish and little ponds.

Any heavyweight fight for full unification should be 50/50 split since it couldn't be a mega fight without either party

Yet you quote a Mr Edward Hearn.😂😂

Sweet Caroline...

Huh I’m lost

Nah it’s simply about the money. US has more money than UK in the sport but UK puts on a great spectacle but that’s not money

[Skinny kinny]

All this nonsense about 50-50 is just posturing. At the end of the day people get paid based on what they bring to the table. If you bring as many people to the arena and as many ppv as Joshua then yes you will be given half otherwise you get the fraction you deserve. Joshua has a team of professional behind him and I am sure they won’t make ****** decisions

Both guys will have excellent money teams

If Fury wins the Wilder rematch - he is top dog. Not even debatable by rational objective people. AJ may be worth more because his olympic pedigree weirdly tugs on British Nationalism. But - winner on 2/22 is #1 in division. Eddie can suck it

[Monzon99]

Why on earth would fury turn his back on UK? He has no chance of winning a decision in Vegas unless it's fixed for him to win.

Sounds like Fury was kicked out of UK for all his crazy conspiracy theory talk after he beat Klitschko.

Fury has to know he is a second banana in USA to Wilder and will take a back seat. Fury must have sold his soul to haymon and wilder and finkel and is now controlled opposition.
