Wilder vs. Fury III all over again! What does Bob say now? LMAO!

Arum Doubts Wilder's Manager Has Read Contract For Fury Trilogy

According to Fury and his handlers, Wilder's rematch clause officially expired a few weeks ago - which allows them to forward with other plans.

Wilder's co-manager, Shelly Finkel, disagrees.

He believes Wilder still holds a valid contract for a trilogy - which prevents Fury from fighting someone else.

Arum doubts Finkel has even reviewed the legal language in the contract.

"Fury has Robert Davis as his lawyer in the UK. He's read the contract. The contract has expired. It's clear. Shelly can say what he wants. You know the thing that's crazy about it is, the last time I talked to Shelly Finkel was the night of the fight after Wilder had been beaten," Arum told IFL TV.

Right? The winner will have to face Shakur anyways. No need to block this fight as it's happening in like six weeks. Besides, Arum is the promoter of Herring and Shakur so this makes no sense at all.

Sure it does. Shakur wanted their fight to take place before December 31st, so that he would be fighting for a title by March/April. Now that they pushed the fight back to February 27, that means Shakur wouldn't be fighting for a title until the summer! Like Arum said to Wilder, "the contract expired!"

I get he's frustrated with his competition but still. It's just a matter of time for him for him to get the WBO strap.

Shakur is simply doing what Fury is doing! Fury said to Wilder, your contract expired, I'm fighting Joshua! Well, in this case Shakur is saying the contract expired, I'm fighting Herring!

Is this a PPV in the UK?

Don’t think so. When Warren tweeted it would be on BT Sports yesterday, he didn't mention PPV.

And I can't imagine this fight does good business at all on PPV. Heck, Frampton vs Quigg which was a bigger fight than this one hardly did any business. Herring is a complete unknown.

Wherever the bigger money is... so goes the fight. Full stop.

Great, then they can easily cancel it. Not sure why they didn’t work out something with Shakur before announcing this fight.

Arum will talk Stevenson out of forcing the mandatory. This fight will happen. Bud will talk to Stevenson and convince him to let Herring get his one big payday as he is 35 years old and Stevenson can fight for the title shortly after.

If i was herring I would just vacate. Fight frampton in a higher paying, more fan friendly fight that he can actually win. Then target the berchelt winner.

Very weird situation. All 3 are under TR amd they were puttinf this fight together. . . .

Which makes me suspect there's an agreed agenda here.
