Yes, the rematch should have happened this past Summer. However, the pandemic hit; Causing a shutdown and everyone to quarantine. Hopefully, they could get this fight finalized as soon as possible.

Hearns already dropped a stadiums revenue for Joshua vs Pulev so yeah I can see him doing Fury vs Joshua without crowd revenue.
The problem is if Fury vs Wilder drifts back to next Feb (which Bob suggested) then presuming AJ vs Pulev goes ahead. Joshua will have to start planning in Usyk .. you can't drop a belt just for the chance Fury will eventually be available.Comment

Its one of the two biggest fights out there in HW boxing. If this were against an ordinary opponent and with DAZN money, they would have gone ahead without crowds. I don't think that is going to happen and it is neither Wilder nor Fury but the finances that are holding things up.
Bob never once said that Wilder's side is holding it up even though their side is OK with less money. No one is willing to put the required amount on the table without live gate money...not Haymon, not Bob, not Fox and not ESPN. Could be that both sides agree to one side fight before they fight in summer 2021?
Covid ain't going nowhere soon and with the approaching winter season, it may even worsen. I don't see crowds anytime soon till maybe next summer. Or some crazy ME country could offer a site fee but even they would be reluctant in these times since their real reason is to promote the country and its tourism...which ain't happening right now.Comment

They should both agree to interim fights. Doesn't have to be anyone especially dangerous if they want to protect the third fight but it's better for both men to remain activeComment

That's what they are on record as saying, could be lying of course and its half Eddie half Bob. Seemed like they were very willing to go no crowd if the Fury fight was there to be had but now that might not be possible. I guess we see, makes Fury Wilder look bad if they do.

Record breaking gate heavyweights? 17-20m in cash on gate alone? But all the ultranationalist/Britain First/English Defence League/Tommy Robinson/Alt Right Eddie Hearn Arse licking council house chavs always running their pathetic sucks about “wilder can’t draw fans” blah blah blah....Last edited by Oldskoolg; 10-04-2020, 01:35 PM.Comment
