    Difference there is that Wilder and Fury are not draws on their own. Taylor and Ramirez pack their houses with fans no matter who they're fighting. Feel old man Arum on this one. Ramirez/Taylor will have both their fanbases packing the house wherever this fight takes place.
    If they're not draws, why put the fight in the brand new $2 Billion dollar stadium, especially without fans? I assume they think they're will be fans by December?

      Both guys have a massive fan base that together would fill a stadium. If you followed boxing you wouldn't know that...and now you do.

      Soooo, you are welcome in advance.

        If there are not fans by December the Fury Wilder fight won't happen, there just isn't enough to pay for it.

            How does Arum know their will be fans in 2021? Maybe a few but not like before. This is the new normal cause of this SCAMDEMIC.

              Warren claims that Wilder/Fury III is too expensive without ticket sales. It is possible that they may be forced to have the rematch anyway because of time limits built into the contract but I'm not sure time-limits can be enforced during a pandemic. It's a mess.

              Arum will by choice hold out for ticket sales for Ramirez /Taylor. Arum signed Taylor because he is banking on the clash being a promotable, profitable stadium fight.

                The virus is fake so dump the mask and get your ticket to the next political blood rally and make your voice heard.

                Can I have your screen name when you die? It would be a shame to let it go to waste.

                    So now we know why the WBO called for Jack Catterall to get his mandatory shot against Jose Ramirez next.

                    They still have Bob Arum's back.

                      Because they're fighting each other and it's a big enough fight to possibly sell it out. If each guy was fighting lesser known guys, they wouldn't be fighting in a stadium. And by the sound of it, most likely bc they're hoping fans are allowed by then.
