They’re already saying that on you tube .

Lol ... I'm sure they will be!

Wilder has well and truly been punked. Fury took his soul, no way back for him now

Everything is out there, people can't just make things up so that they fit a preferred narrative.

The ONLY guarantee in writing is for $4 million Wilder and $3 million Fury, that's it, and it's not a lot.

1) More over....Purse split, payments and compensation have absolutely no baring on the enforceability of a contract beyond it's expiration date.

2) Lastly, the fact that it was Al Haymon and Shelly Finkle that postponed and are currently attempting to postpone for the 3rd time make it nearly impossible to sue for breach of contract. In truth, in the real world, Tyson Fury is actually in a better legal position.


In the end, the fight will or will not happen if the money is there and if not, Fury vs AJ will fight for 80 million.

How do you know there are no minimum guarantees in the contract for either fighter? Have you seen the contract or do you just know what you read in articles online. I say that because the second fight was a 60-40 split for Wilder on the guaranteed money so logically one would believe that for the rematch the winner would get same 60-40 split on the guaranteed money which almost all fighters insist on guaranteed money for a ppv with the promoters assuming the risk should the fight underperform and not meet minimums.

I'm expecting some kind of response along the lines of... now Fury knows he can't wear floppy, loaded gloves again, everything will be different.

I'm telling you mate, these guys don't live in the real world.

They already are

The $4M Wilder and $3M Fury are from the first fight.

I don't think Haymon and Finkle alone decided to delay the fight a third time, particularly since that's not at all what Bob said. He noted that both ESPN (his network) and Fox wanted to move off of the Dec 19th date but Fury decided he would prefer to fight in December.
