Who is cashing out? Fury or Wilder?

Tyson Fury will still be boxing ... and probably will still be fighting for and winning belts here and there ... 10 years from now. If you haven't figured that out yet then you haven't been following boxing very long.

He's a lifer.

You can talk about Fury "cashing out" around the year 2030.

 

I dont doubt that Fury may still be fighting at 35.

We are referring to big money fights here. Once Wilder knocks him out cold, he has one more big money fight after that. At that point he has "cashed out", and if he wants to continue fighting he will fighting for peanuts.

This is what I was referring to. His inability to keep himself together mentally and physically inevitably means his time at the top, getting the big cheques is limited. Once you become a big sloppy mess, or a cartoon character your ability to earn big money goes.

 

Fury just needs some money , he is a pretty basic man.

 

What a silly question, one guy is coming off a two year lay off with drugs and mental problems. The other just beat his best opponent and the most feared man in the HW division, how could he be selling his belt?

 

I doubt either fighter is cashing out, both have too much self belief to think they could lose. You have to have the mentality to be a champion in most cases.

A better question is which of their promoters his cashing out?

 

So that Hearn can't make any money from them.

 

Because we all know how Fury honor those rematch clauses...

 

Because Wilder won’t be interested in a well prepared Fury with 5 or 6 comeback fights under his belt.

Wilder is desperate to improve his resume but this version of Fury doesn’t help him at all, it’d be like Larry Holmes claiming he beat Ali in his prime

 

I think recent moves in the US market have encouraged Showtime to be aggressive and they're the driving force behind this. Maybe they ran the numbers on an AJ Wilder fight and figured that funding this one now would be a win win, both immediately and in building Wilder for future US PPV. So they've come up with more money up front than either fighter would've expected, sufficient for Fury to junk his schedule and risk going in half cooked.

So if either of them, clearly Fury, but market forces are more significant in this fight happening now.

 

Is this a trick question?

Fury may not think he's cashing out ... but yeah, he is.

 

This.

Wilder's Bum-0-meter went crazy when Fury first appeared on TV, and he's rushed to fight him before he shakes off the flab and the rust.

 

I think the only person cashing out is FW.

Its my opinion FW isn't sure how long Fury will be around in boxing, how long Fury will hold it all together so he has made the Wilder fight now because he could end up watching a big payday (For FW and a FW fighter), a big fight, a high profile fight go down the drain.

Fury is so unpredictable and volatile that he could have a bad day and "retire" again, he is that sort of character.

Also it throws a spanner in Hearns plans, AJ wanting to get his hands on all the belts and the fact DAZN is just starting out.

FW gave it the bigg'un and then had to surrender and make a deal with Hearn for the BJS Vs Andrade fight. It wasn't a good look after all his bluster.

Boxnation looks dead on its feet to me so FW needed a "Win" and this is his "Win", it's a gamble but considering Furys unpredictable nature it's a gamble FW believe it's worth taking because if you look at his other fighters he doesn't exactly throw them in the deep end.

 

This is just a silly thread if deontay wasn’t fighting fury you would be calling his opponent a bum and probably say he wouldn’t fight someone like Fury. Anyway if he wins he has another top 10 guy on his resume and a big ppv under his belt, I’m just happy to see the top guys mixing it up. We have had AJ vs several top guys, Wilder vs 2 top names, Whyte vs 2 top 10 names, Pulev vs Fury, etc it’s a good time for the HW division. Not necessarily coz there are guys with lots of skills but because they are all competitive with each other and the fight a are being made.
