Comments Thread For: Hearn: Fury Won't Be Happy Over Less Money in Wilder Trilogy

[Ray*]

Because I know what Andy Ruiz got paid for the Joshua rematch despite him beating AJ's ass the first time.

And because I know what purse splits Fury got for his rematch and will be getting for the third Wilder fight.

It's really very simple.

Nope not that simple, they both have a contract right? They both signed the contract right? Was a gun involved in the signing of the contract?

They're completely different situations. Hence people responded with different energy.

If you refuse to see that then that's on you.

If you ask me, Tyson Fury has made more money than he deserved to make in the sport of boxing, robbing everyone. However, If Tyson should ever get a shot at A.J and cheat him of the IBF-WBA-WBO, I cant call it a robbery considering Joshua arguably is holding Tyson's titles.

But then again, Phooey should of never got his hands on them in the first place for failing UKAD testing in his WBA-WBO final eliminator vs. Christian Hammer -- the game is grimy, too many cheats in this dreadful division.

Personally I'll say the same I always say in situations like this: he has enough money and arguing over purses is petty, for Fury and any fighter or athlete worth over 3 mil. Any reasonably responsible person can live and thrive off a few million. Don't care if you're an NBA player looking for a max contract or a fighter looking for another payday. If you live lavishly I don't care about insignificant financial losses nor extra money you don't really need.

I may be American but I've never subscribed to the idea that greed and a capitalist economy must be married. I believe in satisfaction and contentment, and if you have double my net worth, you're doing fine and don't need to act like your family won't have food on the table if you don't get another 50 mil. There are people out there with the same heart and hunger that will never make 100k, I won't contribute to a social concept that athletes or entertainers should be astronomically wealthy in a world with so much poverty.

And it's pathetic as a fanboy to mind what is in another mans pocket. Didn't care about Floyd's purse as his second biggest fan here, don't care about Furys either.

They’re completely different situations. Fury gets 60/40 in the rematch since he won the fight. Ruiz got an 8M flat fee after having won the fight.

And? Did they have a contract prior to their rematches or not? So i think Fury deserves 70% for example for this third fight. I mean he did sign for 60%, but going by you and roll that shouldn’t matter right? I mean Fury battered Wilder in the second fight and won the first fight according to most people out there, so we all should keep the same energy and agree that Fury should get more money 70 or let’s say 80%? And the fight should happen in the UK... right?

No I see the same thing, they both had a signed contract, am just glad am able to point the hypocrisy out. That’s what am here for. When it was for a certain promotional company the energy was different, some were even praying for Ruiz not to honour a signed contract, which shows are they aren’t boxing fans really.

Lol Hearn is such a bum. His fighter has a fight coming up and this guy can’t stop himself from talking about Wilder/Fury.

Either way there’s a contract and I think the third fight is much more competitive.

A man with a name exalting one the great African kings of history talking about “yanks”???? What an odd coupling....I would think your energy would be on a totally different focus....sounds like you have been listening to the british far too long my friend...

America is not a black nation as much as Black americans seem to think. My allegiances don't lie with the British in fact I'm primarily supporting athletes from the diaspora such as Joshua (Nigeria) and Whyte (Jamaica)

When you are up against a cut-throat like Tyson Fury, it might be your last fight. I say, you better get everything you can. I heard Christian Hammer is driving Taxi's now, everything went down hill for the poor guy after Fury robbed him in their 2015 WBA-WBO final eliminator for Klitschko.

Then you got shady characters like Eddie Hearn running this sport, offering slave-contracts fixing fights, that don't help. Like I said, the game is grimy. Tyson's background enables him to thrive in this treacherous sport.
