Stop talking rubbish. Was there more money for Fury/Top Rank in fighting Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin? If you want to talk money, Whyte has headlined PPVs and generated 400-450k UK buys against the likes of Parker and Chisora, while an unheralded Oscar Rivas received $1m plus to fight him. In contrast, Fury’s first fight against Wilder pulled 300k buys in the UK, while Otto Wallin only received a $250k purse, so quit pretending that Fury is some big cash cow who’s too big to make mandatories. Without a fight against AJ, he will have made Arum no money at all with the guarantees they’ve dished on him.
Besides, Warren is talking about Fury fighting closed doors against someone other than Wilder this year (i.e. not AJ). Who should that be against in your view, other than an obligated mandatory defence against Whyte, given that an AJ fight wouldn’t be viable? This is the perfect opportunity for Fury to clear up the mandatory mess he has admittedly inherited, yet you’re coming up with BS logic about money.
