Please, god. Stop wasting everyones time and move on. They will not fight, other HW's deserve a tittle shot. either strip both of them these belts or just fight next guy in the line. This content is protected
Why is Arum even part of Fury's promotion team still is the real question. He has no purpose anymore with a dead American market
Millions of Americans will watch Fury dismantle Ngannu. If they make Fury vs Usyk after that it should do good numbers stateside.
Yes but what does Bob do? Make sure Fury gets advertisements in America? Deals with American broadcasters? Sucks off some old men behind the scenes to get deals?
Usyk's ring circling and lateral movement won't stand for much after 4/5 rounds of being in front of Fury....Which of his assets will fall to the wayside first is the question. I assume his feints, followed by his head movement then his feet will slow and it will be good day mate! meanwhile Fury just has to execute the fight accordingly and show Usyk how real heavyweights roll.
That's cool and all, but I very much doubt it's actually going to get made next. Last I heard, Usyk-Hrgovic is supposed to be co-main event with AJ-Wilder, which is currently looking like it will happen in January. I'm not counting on it or anything, but it wouldn't surprise me if that fight is already scheduled by the time Fury-Ngannou takes place. Hrgovic could theoretically step aside and let Fury take his place, but there ain't no way Fury is gonna fight Usyk just three months after another fight. Even if Ngannou ends up being a walkover as expected, Fury probably won't want to jump right into what's likely going to be his hardest fight so soon after. I'd be happy to be wrong, but I can almost guarantee this ain't happening after their next fights. I haven't given up on it ever happening either, just don't see it being next. Regardless, if negotiations really do take place, I just hope too much time ain't wasted on them again. Too much time for both guys was lost on those negotiations at the beginning of the year. Last thing we need is a repeat of that.
Bob Arum is 91. What happens when Arum is no longer healthy enough to promote fighters? Does he have a successor? Does PBC take over the American market?
If Fury could just retire already and leave the sport to the fighters who actually want to fight the proper fights that would be great.
He is the link to ESPN. They might even have exclusivity deal, as I believe all boxing on ESPN is Top Rank. Who else would he work with in America? Al Haymon?
Do you really think Fury leaving boxing would cure the HW division of what ails it? I think you know better than that. What have Wilder, Ruiz, AJ, others done the past year or years? Lemme see recently AJ fought borderline no-hopper Franklin & now past it Helenius. Why? Because he doesn't want to jeopardize his half decade+ in the making big $ bout w/ Wilder. Does Ruiz have a fight in the works or is he going to wait until he has diabetes?
