Could happen. Not sure how much money is in the fight, a lot less than what Wilder gets to fight Whyte.
Fury isn't ready, but Warren knows he's only got a small window of opportunity to get Fury in with Wilder before he eventually fights AJ. Warren will dazzle Wilder with a 50/50 offer, despite the fact it will mean a lot less than the $15m being offered by Hearn. Wilder will grab it with both hands as he cares more about percentage splits than actual cash. Wilder will KO Fury and then realise he's agreed to "options" with Warren/BT Sport. Then you can kiss goodbye to Wilder/AJ for the foreseeable future.
far too soon, will probably win rounds, but does he have enough ring rust shaken off to be able to stay out of range for the whole fight? i don't think so. Warren surely can't be that stupid.
We will get a better idea if Fury is ready or not in his next fight despite being against a weak opponent. I wouldn't like to call it before seeing that.
I can see this happening and really hope it does. The fact it's too soon for Fury makes it competitive
After all the talk about AJ and splits, who is worth what, I'm interested to see how much the fight is worth to both men financially. If it's made I'm fascinated to see how much each gets paid.
So Shelley Finkel (who managed Tyson, Holyfield and more Hall of Famers than you can list) and Al Haymon don’t know how to read a contract and will be shocked to find options in it that they missed? LOL. This fight would FORCE Hearn and AJ to come to the table and negotiate in good faith. The winner of Wilder/Fury is going to be able to force 50-50 or close to it ... and the pressure on Hearn/AJ to make the fight with the winner and stop playing games would be enormous. Much more money for the winner of this fight to do this and THEN fight AJ.
Can Frank/BT Shelly/Showtime pull more money together than Eddie/DaZn? Even for a Whyte/Chisora v Wilder.
Too soon for Fury he hasn’t been tested yet after he’s return. Pick an easy win for Wilder maybe even a stoppage. Would be great if Warren has pulled this off, but far to soon for Fury.
i couldnt care less how much these guys are getting paid, i just want to see the best fight each other. yet matchroom are leading the way (for sure they arent the only ones) in reducing the sport to soap opera with vids discussing percentages and prices and values and ppv buys and all this other crap, anything other than boxing.
Interestingly, Fury is favourite with the bookmakers for this potential fight. https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/deontay-wilder-v-tyson-fury/winner
