Was told the idea of a purse bid for a @BronzeBomber fight is not a favorable scenario to @Tyson_Fury ... “an independent organization determining the value of the fight is not fair to Tyson Fury’s value.”

Neither side wants a purse bid. The fight can still happen Wilder isn't tied to any network. It would do big numbers on UK PPV too.

So does this cancel the Whyte/Breazeale eliminator or whatever the hell that fight is? Automatically would make Breazeale the mandatory again right?
Thought all along that if Fury's side lost the purse bid he would pull out and that Wilder would still fight if ESPN won the bid since he can't afford to vacate the strap.
