Comments Thread For: Arum on Fury Return: Kabayel, Takam The Leading Candidates For Dec. 5

[KnickTillDeaTh]

If you paid attention to what Arum said after the 2nd fight you would've known about the expiration date months ago. Both sides agreed that the trilogy would take place within 180 days of the 2nd fight because they were hoping to fight Joshua in December. Also, Top Rank already offered Wilder a date in October and December and he declined both offers, so Wilder and his team have zero legal recourse. Wilder's only options now are to retire or win a couple of fights impressively enough to stir up demand for the trilogy or a fight with Joshua

That is completely and unequivocally false. Arum did not offer any date. The fight was pushed back from July 18 to October 3rd due to the Coronavirus. All parties agreed to move the fight to December 19 after they realized they still could not have a crowd. According to Arum it is ESPN who wants to move the fight off of the December 19 date, ESPN reps Fury not Wilder, which means?

wouldnt mind a takam evem though hes close to 40 he keeps in shape and he will have a real go at fury. Dude doesnt stop

Kabayel is better choice between these two. Takam lost all bigger fights and he is past his prime. he did nothing to deserve another title shot.

Kabayel has never had "bigger fights" because hes a D grade bum.

Team Wilder would like to fight the other words were hope .

The reality is liking and hoping isn’t demanding or securing the fight ,instead it’s leading fans into a false sense they tried to make the fight but we know it’s another lie from these guys who haven’t spoken to Arum in months .

This is what actually happened
1. The rematch clause become void as soon as the October date fell through, so Fury was free to fight anyone he wanted to.
2. Fury informed his promoters he still wanted Wilder, as long as they got it done this year.
3. They worked with PBC and got it scheduled for December 19th.
4. Once the college football schedule came out, both ESPN and Fox requested to move the fight to December 12th or 5th because they are airing conference championship games on the 19th.
5. Wilder's team requested to push it back to 2021 because he's still recovering from his surgery and hasn't begun training.
6. Fury announced that he wasn't waiting until next year for Wilder and started looking for an opponent who was willing to fight him on December 5th

You're wrong on so many levels and pretty much made most of that up.

All parties agreed to extend the fight which means that the contract remains intact, thats a very simple fact that won't change.

Fury didn't inform anyone because Fury as well as Wilder were both told the fight will be pushed back again from October to December 19 in hopes of being able to sell tickets. Arum began looking into the Raiders new stadium for the purposes of social distancing. 20k fans in a 50k stadium.

It was Arum who said both Fox and ESPN want to move off the date due to college football however, in his last 2 interviews Arum has only mentioned ESPN wanting to move and has not mentioned Fox since his initial statement 2 weeks ago.

Wilders team has already said last week that they expect the fight to go on as scheduled. In the article that connects to this thread Arum clearly said ESPN wants to reschedule and has not one single time said that Wilder or PBC wants to reschedule off December's date.

Wilder is in training and has been in training since the 3rd week of May. In fact Wilder fired Breland from his training camp, an article which confirmed Wilder is in training for the Fury fight, which was fist posted on this very site.

So to recount, damn near everything you said was a lie, non factual, erroneous at best. I dont understand how people can come on here and out right lie as if articles don't exist. Simple Google disproves your entire post.

Based on furys ez path, except for a few fights that he proved me wrong, it won't be takam. Let's be real.

[Watcherw1]

how come arum has said they were discussing?

again, you lie too much, you need to stop
