why don't you just become a promoter if it's so simple?"would sign" ??? - So sign. What are you waiting for?
Sign a contract unconditional on the outcomes of your fight with Pulev and Fury's fight with Wilder.
Hearn, AJ and his team have done this many times.
Publicly stating they would make a fight when it is least sensible to discuss the next fight.
Politics.
there are all manner of conditions they need to agree on first.
the stadium/arena, rematch clauses, the ring, gloves, the date etc.
you can't just sign a magical contract.
idiot.Comment

Not sure if AJ is as accepting that it's a 50/50 purse split and no way does Fury accept less than 50%. Afterall he could also argue his case for more than 50%, especially after a trilogy win.What's to argue about? They both accept its a 50/50 fight with regard to the revenue split. They are both English, so they would presumably both demand an English venue. What else is there that really matters? Ring size, gloves, who gets announced first? I don't see any real problems.
May come down to splitting the PPV audiences. AJ will want a larger cut of the UK one due to his popularity and numbers generated and the fact that Fury hasn't fought in the UK for years. While Fury will obviously want a much bigger chunk of the US revenue where he's established himself more with the WWE jaunt and trilogy against Wilder. Again he'll also point toward AJ's one appearance in the US as being a flop.
Then there's the venue. Without question AJ would consider Wembley Stadium as home advantage while Fury and Arum etc feel AJ's a lot more vulnerable in the likes of Vegas where Fury is more than comfortable being the home fighter.
They also may have reason to believe such a massive fight in Vegas may bring on a certain degree of anxiety for AJ as was suggested in the first Ruiz fight. There was definitely something wrong with AJ, his demeanor, body language were completely different that night. I'm fairly sure the US is the last place he wants to have the fight for all the marbles.
Then there's Saudi Arabia with all in the money? Who knows? As for the petty stuff like who comes out first, who's on what side of the poster etc I get the impression that will fall into place once the splits and venue are agreed. Lot of egos and justifiable points on both sides.Comment

There is nothing wrong in having a plan in place, this happens all the time with big fights, people sit down and work out scenarios and a deal would be put in place if everything goes to plan, then things would have already be in place.Comment
