There's no demand for AJ and Fury to fight each other, only for each to face Wilder

Ticket prices for AJ-Ruiz are 3 times more than Wilder-Breazeale, for a fight in the same city, and AJ-Ruiz is selling better.

AJ is the number 1 undisputed champion and Wilder has already been offered 100 million USD for a 3 fight deal that involves him facing AJ, and he turned it down, and instead fought Breazeale (for an amount withheld, but thought to be only 1-2 million).

So its pretty clear who is ducking who here, and who isnt even a draw.

Wilder should take the fight, and tell his handlers that he is taking the fight. Its pathetic how controlled he is. I am not accusing him of ducking the fight. I am accusing his handlers of not believing in him and avoiding the fight.

Tyson Fury is a side show, a fight against AJ would be great, but its Wilder-AJ everyone wants to see.

 

There’s also a general acceptance that Warren and Hearn won’t work together. They’ve never said a single word to each other. On top of that Sky and BT aren’t going to let their stars fight on another network.

 

Lets face it Wilder is the most exciting heavyweight out there like him or hate him

 

People want to see an end to the WBC belt hostage situation before Stockholm syndrome kicks in.

 

bum squad fans delusional

 

If Joshua and Fury fought each other the nation would stop that evening and it would do 2 million+ buys easily.

Like somebody else has said, there’s a general acceptance that Hearn and warren won’t go anywhere near to working with each other. Hearn has had numerous talks with wilder’s side and both have hinted to it eventually happening.

 

Two 95% k.o percentage punchers won't last long at all and will be another short fight . That's why fans want to see it and not Fury. It's what they got Wilders last fast and we'll get another fight that shouldn't see mid rounds . Fans didn't want Fury vs Wilder they wanted Joshua, he's controlling the division.

 

The thing iam seeing is each fighters pull/draw in terms of popularity/ place in the market (the heavyweight market as a business) is equalizing.
iam not saying i agree with it but its clearly happening right now.
there is clearly more interest in wilder and fury, and a slightly drop in the Joshua hype.
Does anyone else see this or am i out here on my own

 

i hear doctors have taken to prescribing Fury fight videos to insomniacs. no one has yet stayed awake past mid fight.

 

Fury is a level above both and he already dropped down and schooled one only to get robbed so he won't be giving either the privilege again..

This just leaves AJ - Wilder but the running man isn't about to step in with another grade A fighter in a hurry..

 

yes the shift will change in popularity with the vicious KOs early, over and over. Deontay will be far more valuable real soon. The AJ Ruiz fight will be booed out the building with the result no matter what that is. It's a mismatch skillfully and so clearly physically to the US public. Ruiz ability aside, It just looks bad.

 

Fury almost died.

 

lol Cunningham hit him harder..

He got up and proceeded to **** Wilder up for the remained of the round..

Wilder had never been in with a true fighting man before and he won't do it again. Back to tailor made stiffs...

 

I think it’s because Joshua-Wilder is for undisputed and because it will be the more fan friendly firefight. But i think Fury is the best fighter and want to see him fight Joshua anytime
