Wilder’s Arbitration win proves Al Haymon is the smartest guy in boxing

I'm not even referring to this specific instance.

 

It is because Usyk is going to get there first it seems, it’ll be off working at JD sports for his royal humbleness.

 

Or, ignore that ruling which has no jurisdiction outside of the U.S and take the Joshua fight - which is the only fight worth making.

 

Hahahaha..."the big, stiff, humble one".

Love it.

Just imagine Wilder vs Joshua sold as "The Whining Windmill" versus "The Big, Stiff, Humble One".

 

Lots of lawyers and retired judges up in here today. I appreciate your insights, I really do.

 

Where did Al Haymon hurt you?

 

He won nearly every round and Chisora fights nothing like AJ.

The same could be said in regards to AJ having to perform better than his last 3 fights to beat Usyk.

 

What makes you think other jurisdictions WILL side with the U.S judgement?

American governing bodies don't even agree from state to state.

Fury might well find he couldn't box, for argument sake, in Vegas - but could still fight in N.Y state, or Texas, or another state.

Ultimately, all the while it drags out in the courts, or while he potentially appeals, he'll be allowed to continue fighting.

Personally, I believe in principles like your word is your bond, and I think Fury and his team gave Wilder ample opportunity, repeatedly, to make things happen...and Wilder wasn't interested.

Now, as the unification bout is revealed and dates confirmed there is suddenly an announcement?

How very, very convenient.

Even you must admit, the timing is priceless and designed for maximum disruption.

Fury and Joshua should fight and then worry about the case later.

There is nothing to stop them fighting August 14th.

This judgement has no actual bearing on this, save for the assumption everyone is making that it won't go ahead because Fury couldn't fight AJ in mid August then Wilder in mid September.

But, he could agree to that.

It would highly unlikely...unprecedented, even, but not impossible.

 

If you are a "highly qualified lawyer" you ought to know that the decision of a U.S Court has no weight outside the U.S.

It's irrelevant unless Fury intends to do business in the U.S in the future.

If he doesn't, he can ignore it with zero repercussions.

This isn't a criminal offence, where some kind of international arrest warrant will be issued.

Never mind the fact the he is entitled to refute the entire premise of the dispute by showing he repeatedly attempted to negotiate in good faith and was ignored numerous times.

This is the story we've been fed in the media, at any rate.

Regardless, this ruling cannot stop the August fight.

It cannot control who Fury fights before September.

The sole reason this is being presented as a problem is because the assumption is Fury couldn't face Joshua in mid August then Wilder in mid September.

They could try and bring the AJ fight forward 6 weeks, and/or try and negotiate to push the Wilder fight back.

Wilder could get step aside money, assurances of a fight against the winner, whoever that is, for all the belts and a huge payday.

However, knowing the poor advice/management he has, he'll probably refuse.
