    If we are trusting Frank Warren then was BT part of the 50 mil offer to AJ like he stated?

    Sheesh taking any of these three promoters word as fact against the other is foolish.

      I don't think Arum would start talking now knowing he has the wilder rematch and AJ has Pulev coming up.

      After he beats Pulev, I think, as one poster suggested, Arum might approach Wilder for step aside money to make the Fury fight.

      I am sure we will get a big AJ/Fury fight in England.

        If the step aside is offered it will be very soon because by the time Joshua-Pulev is happening they’ll have already put a lot into promotion for Fury-Wilder since it’s pegged for July 18th at MGM.

        Usyk is the one who’d need to step aside. If Hearn wants to milk it he better have Usyk vacate because he has a great shot at beating Joshua.

          Thats a good point. I think AJ could drop the WBO belt with no problem because they could easily make a fight with Usyk once he wins the belt. As you know I think Usyk can beat every HWT if he can handle the power.

            I think they should drop it if it’s in the way of Fury-Joshua. Fury-Joshua won’t lose any luster and then the winner can just fight Usyk and that fight (winner vs. Usyk) becomes bigger rather than being the annoyance it would be viewed at if it came first.

              It's Pulev and Usyk for Joshua in 2020. I don't mind that. Joshua can lose to Fury next year after a bit more rebuilding.

                I'm thinking the same thing.

                  I knew Hearn was lying

                  like I said immediately following that fight... AJ/Hearn will blurt out a ton of silly excuses and walk away from that fight... just like they did with Wilder

                  why would this situation be any different?... AJ had a better chance to beat Wilder than he has to beat Fury, and they were not willing to take that risk

                  I do not believe for 1 second that Hearn holds "2 british heavyweights fighting a unification" over... 1) making money... 2) preserving AJ... 3) developing his company

                  Fury has 2-3 fights left... so Hearn knows that he will only need to lie to the fans 2-3 times, just like they did with Wilder

                  highly unlikely that this fight will ever happen, simply because of the extent they went to in order to avoid Wilder... they showed their true colors/intentions

                  Fury will tell us whats up

                  as usual, the shltstain casual-fans will ride with the OBVIOUS liar... just like they did with Arum and Loeffler...
