Fury not paying step aside money for Wilder (Arum)

Seems Arum was never really interested in AJ fight, just a PR stunt.

 

Where is Hearn?

This can't be good for business, the Saudis shouldn't be played with, they are building a venue as we speak, Hearn needs to be careful, journalists have been off'ed for just criticising them, let alone wasting their money and making them look foolish.


You can't keep Hearn out of interviews or off social media.. last seen 17 hrs ago on twitter

Let's hope he didn't go to meet the Saudis at an Embassy to discuss it

 

You could be right, but this could also be a negotiating tactic too, calling team Wilder's bluff to try drive down the amount of money it will take to get him to step aside. Fury vs Wilder III is a hard sell for so many reasons if it replaces Fury vs AJ. Maybe Arum is just trying to better align what it will take to make Wilder step aside with what Wilder would make if his fight with Fury happened next.

There's a game of poker going on right now...

 

'Yesterday, I was lying. Today I'm telling the truth.'

Bob Arum

lol

 

Well, he didn't exactly get involved much. It's hard to see where he performed a PR stunt.

 

They are 100% right not to pay Wilder off.

 

Also me to my wife

 

Nah, not a PR stunt, this is damaging reputations.

 

Wilder deserves a beating not a hand-out.

 

As much as Hearn's well-rehearsed wide boy cockney act annoys the hell outta me, seems like he's the only promoter who really tried to make the Fury vs AJ fight happen. But you're right - when news is bad Eddie loses his phone like some boxers lose their pen....

 

Fury already gave him one.


Since then he's blamed a costume, his trainer, gloves, egg weights, being drugged, shown us a dent in his head, given us a bizarre post about being a King and telling his followers he has returned, he's been twerking and is now training in a back bedroom.


I think the last beating did something to him

 

Yeah, well, the next beating might bring him back to some sort of normal.
Let's call it therapy.

 

Agreed. But can you imagine the phone calls hes been making today. If i was him i would insist that if they fight Wilder and want to fight AJ after. That he would not deal with Arum or Warren and just promote the fight himself with MTK. Arum and Warren have made team Fury look small time and a shambles.

Wouldn't suprise me if the Saudi's continue working with Eddie but refuse to work with Arum again. Particularly after the mud slinging they have been doing over the money isnt guaranteed etc etc. We havent seen a contract.
