Comments Thread For: Arum: We Don't Need WBC To Dictate Wilder-Fury Rematch Purses

Foocking Arum.... Hate that mfer

[Sid-Knee]

Wilder said he’d fight Whyte for 7 million as long as he had Joshua in the contract. Wilder in 2017 never said it would be 50/50 should he go to the UK. All Wilder wanted was a guarantee. There’s only several possibilities for this, Hearn was too stingy to share the revenue for what Wilder wanted which means Hearn is super cheap or his events don’t make up that much for what it claims. If you’re selling seats at bone pricing then it’s going to be hard to fulfill not Wilder’s guarantee, but the headlines for what AJ takes.

Stop lying. Wilder has been calling for 50/50 since AJ fought Wladimir.

Wilder can't even come to an agreement with Whyte or AJ on their own, but you think Wilder can come to an agreement with both included in the same contract? Crazy. But then again, aren't you supposed to be crazy if you're a Wilder fan?

Fury is deluded if he thinks he can dictate the terms. Lineal or not, the reality is that he's got no recognized belts. None. And therefore he is a contender, not the champion no matter how much he wants to manipulate what the word "champion" means. Whoever has the belt has the leverage. The only exception in the sport is Canelo. But that's exception that confirms the rule.

Yeah, I don't see Wilder-Fury II happen any time soon. And all the while Fury will go back fighting bums and calling himself a "champion".

Titles mean nothing when negotiating a split. It all comes down to how much money you generate and what your worth is. Titles don't even come into it.

But if the champ in your mind gets the bigger slice, then Fury should get more money against Wilder. Only American corruption disputes the truth. Everyone else knows Fury won and is the real WBC champ, regardless of how many of you morons try to claim otherwise.

So you think 50/50 equates to 50 million in sharing revenue? How is that AJ is taking less in a stateside fight than the infamous 50 million? DId Hearn or AJ call CBS Sports’ bluff to send a contract for 50 million?

Oh no wait, “50 million is peanuts” - Hearn. If Wilder were in theory an easy fight for AJ and Hearn would exercise a rematch clause which would bring more money than the first 50 million offered, then why not take the fight?

This is the same thing as “154-168 is easy.” Smoke and Mirrors

Prick sees another prick from far of. Sneaky BS Arum sees BS from WBC.

The funny thing is everybody can give no fuk about this WBC "sanctioned" purse bid because Fury isn't a mandatory contender so this is just smoke and mirrors by Suleiman.
In fact, even if there is a bid where Wilder's promoter wins and Fury decides to disagree, he can just leave without any consequences as long as he doesn't sign the contract after this purse bid.

This is so funny how this farce is legit only in fighting sport.

Wilder claims that he is fighting on May 18th. I hope that he sticks to his word. Fury, Breazeale, Kownacki, whoever. Stay active champ. Don't let the B.S politics of boxing get in the way!

Bob has this uncanny ability of making you realise straight away that negotiations are not going to be easy. A 19th century kill joy

Lots of celery on the table for the old guys... Bob needs that celery to have the celerity to screw things up so well...

This is why the lineal is the thing! The fans have to just demand that the title involves the man who beat the best fighting the second best... The only other alternative is to take the celery away from Bob at the buffet.

60-40 to Wilder isn't fair.

60-40 Fury isn't fair either, especially after he got left for dead the 12th.

[Scipio2009]

It seems like that main sticking point is the 60-40 split in Wilder's favor. Team Fury likely wanted a 50-50 split and will negotiate for one.

What makes you think that Wilder's camp wasn't negotiating something near 50/50, especially after the drama that was the first fight?
