    Because they don't want to. They were all under the impression Fury needed to be great for 12 full rounds and believed that within those 12 Wilder could be great for his 2 seconds and take the win.

    They don't have a serious level of confidence in Spence beating Crawford so they would rather keep Spence fighting in house so if he loses there is the safety net of still having those belts in their possession while sending their none champs out to have a crack at taking Crawfords off him.

    Good business, weak sport.

      Plus they building him into a PPV star, well, trying. His numbers are dropping fight by fight, the last thing they can afford is a loss on the record and his titles taking away.

        when spence is out of other options and needs the fight it will get made......fury/wilder needed each other and the fight was big and there was big demand.....if bud and spence stay unbeaten in 2021 the fight will be big in 2022 and there will be more money in it for both of them....they both know this and like to posture in the media

        bud and bob k now this and know whats going on...they are in on it too...but they will play the game knowing they can yuck it up and make people think the pbc is avoiding them...they know thats not the case but they will gladly play that role because they can....their card got pulled when kenny porter said "call us" and bud, a week later, said "not on my radar"...it exposed their role in it....they like to say guys names thinking they wont respond or have other plans...till one guys father said "call us"...they did a 180 within days on porter....because they know they are sitting back and playing the waiting game and will gladly try to make you believe the other side is avoiding it while they wait

            prob because everything is down right now...i mean...who else is even doing ppvs in this current economic climate?

            he could def use a pac fight to give himself a boost.....

            i know bob arum likes to make you think hes doing you a favor not doing ppvs with bud or teo/loma...but the reality is if he thought he could make some money on them rn with ppv hed do it...he doesnt....the pbc dont appeared to be worried about it...but everything is down and theyre the only guys doing ppvs

              Are y'all really this ******? Wilder vs Fury I was made without Top Rank & soon as Top Rank signed Fury they pulled out of an agreed rematch. The rematch was already agreed to before Top Rank signed Fury.

                Because no one gives a **** about Terrence Crawford, and it's his own fault. There's no public pressure, there's no hype, there's nothing. Crawford is nothing. The casual sports world doesn't care whether or not this fight happens. TC just needs to put his ego aside and be grateful for the chance to be even be featured in another big fight.

                    Wilder vs Fury Rematch was already in place BEFORE Fury and Warren ran to ESPN and Fury took a couple of fights with them before the rematch

                    Crawford Contract is up October I say Wait and do it without Arum! Nothing against Arum but I do think it would be easier to make that fight without him. Not only that but that fight not getting done without a Full Capacity Crowd
