Now that Fury confirmed Wilder already signed a secret 3-fight deal with Showtime before Fury went to ESPN, who will this 3rd opponent be? We already know Grandpa Ortiz and Winnie Pooh Kownacki are the first 2 opponents, the 3rd definitely won't be AJ or Fury.
He signed to fight Brezeale, Ortiz and Kownacki. Brezeale was the first... Fury and Wilder's management are all in bed together setting up Fury Wilder II for summer 2020. It the plan all along. They will be making big big numbers for that rematch. However this plan will fall apart if by some act of god Fury Scwarz does good numbers, then Arum will lock Fury down.
So they've both conspired to freeze out the three belt holding biggest draw in their division? Madness.
Eddie Hearn has been lining up Usyk for the past year Wilder & his team have never wanted any part of AJ just like they didn't Wlad, although that might be shifting with Wilder's growing confidence. Eddie isn't offering Fury enough money. peanuts. $100m to fight AJ instead of Fury sounds damn good right now. He has much more of a chance. Fury schools him again. but does Wilder want to get KO'd? because AJ can do that. BS aside Basically all of them will be in hardcore, porno mode negotiations next year for the summer and whoever has the biggest peni will win. If none of them fight next summer then we have a big issue & we're going to hear lots of garbage from all sides. Meanwhile Whyte is sucking his thumb wanting a shot.
Don't be surprised if Wilder signs another 3-fight deal after this 3-fight deal lol to fight another 3 bums, just to be 'loyal' to Showtime
Wilder wants bums, old people or ex junkies, basically nobody with a pulse and his handlers want to milk every penny out of him before public demand finally starts to wane, then they sell out.... They assume this makes more money than trilogies etc. (see may/pac charade) Or maybe they only have one fights worth of confidence in Deontay. The three fights I think Finkel and co are planning are : Ortiz II, Kownacki, Joshua (the sell out fight with potential rematch) Failing AJ then they get Fury with same rematch BS Thing is, what they are really working towards, is maximising that good PBC/WBC home cooking in all these fights, that would secure the wins and best of all, better percentages in splits and more money. Finkel's master plan has already been laid out for all to see.
Fury wanted 60% before any of his comeback fights. So what kind of money is he looking for with no real life belt ? Sounds like ducking to me bc it is and we know this bc Warren wants 50% to, so they are forcing Hearn to hit back bc of their unreasonable demands. Wilder will run as far as he can from Joshua so if anyone wants that fight they actually need him to lose the belt which eliminates the madness. Hearn doesn't need to line up Usyk he's a mandatory and it's up to him when he fights Joshua not Hearn.
