    That's where a lot of the money is going to come from, courtesy of Netflix and without it the fight would very likely never have happened.

    I couldn't give a toss where the money is coming from.

    Neither of them deserve an obscene payday anyway as they are both washed up and pretending to do the fight 'for the fans'

    I can only speak for myself however, and there are still a lot of fans in UK that have supported both fighters for years and without the UK demand there would be a big loss on the fight.

    How do you think Holyfield Vs Tyson would have gone down with US fans being at wembley stadium 10pm local time?

    So the contract has Joshua needing to do drug testing, but Fury does not need to?

    Will Fury be eating wild boar meat?

    This 2 separate contracts thing is a real balls up. Especially as they appear to have employed a child to draw them up.

    I can't buy Wilder being the number 2 heavyweight in 2020. There are too many guys id favor to beat him H2H. Obviously Usyk would be favored. Probably also guys like Hrgovic, Parker, Zhang, Kabayel etc.

    Wilders team wouldn't have fought him because they already held a belt and had no need to take risks. Just because fans wanted him to fight Wlad doesn't make it a smart business decision.

    There’s pros and cons. A big hold-up previously was that both men could see what the other was making, and wasn’t happy. Anyhow I think with Cardiff likely to solve the question of the venue, this fight is likely going to be official soon.

    It's been fun with the Saudi model... Now I've just had enough of them and would prefer things to reset back to how they were.. Which wasn't perfect but Turki is now at the stage where they need a return on the investment made by the Saudis trust fund and I just don't get the impression he is a good businessman

    I hear you. And if it was only the bottom figure that differs then no problem. The issue is that the contacts don’t resemble each other. In the case of AJ v Fury the location and drug testing don’t match up. And who knows what else. This is a cluster whatsit. Amateur hour.
