Deontay Wilder Wins Arbitration—Tyson Fury Must Fight Him By 9/15!!!

Well then you should know that entertainment contracts and specifically sports contracts do have clauses for extreme events such as natural disasters, wartime, and, yes, pandemics. They detailed this quite a bit all over espn for all the major sports over a year ago. They specifically detailed the language and everything. Common procedure, in all the contracts. It's why none of the team sports cancelled or didn't return. It's in every single players contract, they wouldn't have been paid a dime beyond the prorated time.

 

Fury could slap Aj silly in August and use it as sparring for wilder

 

Ignore Wilder, the decision, fight AJ for the belts then, assuming he wins, Fury can give up the WBC belt.

He's beaten Wilder (twice, some might argue) so there's nothing left to prove.

This AJ fight is more prestigious, worth ten times the money, and should be his only focus.

I believe he will ignore the WBC arbitration and deal with it after the Joshua fight.

Unless, of course, he uses it as an excuse to back out.

 

Those conditions only apply if the event is meant to take place and is affected by stated conditions, Because he never invoked the contract before the agreed date , then there was no planned event and thus nothing for those stipulations to apply to.

 

Arbitration has nothing to do with the wbc...fury must fight wilder regardless of the belt imo even.if he lose to joshua.

 

Except that he did exercise the clause before the date. So you are just incorrect with your timeline and the events. They obviously provided proof of Furys side not negotiating in good faith or meeting certain negotiating criteria in said contract.

 

Why would Fury plan to do it like that though ?
What's in it for him ?

 

Where has Fury said he now wants to fight Wilder? It wasn't him that took the contract dispute to court...

 

Pretty sure Wilder wants (and is entitled to according to the court ruling) a decent sum to step aside and it would be wise to take it.

Let's assume he enforces the contract and has a third fight with Fury and loses = one purse for a fight not many want to see and career basically over at elite level. All for one belt and, because demand is pretty low for this fight, no guarantee of big money.

Alternatively his team can probably lever a substantial sum to step aside (potentially more than he'd get for fighting Fury), arrange a stay-busy show reel KO fight for which he will also earn a purse and shake off some ring rust. An option to fight the winner of the AJ vs Fury fight is also something which could be made part of any deal. That's three pay days and a lot more money and the chance to become undisputed champ.

For all the posturing, the 2nd option is better for all fighters concerned....

 

Where did that happen exactly? Wilder pulled out of the fight, and was so call injured. But he was silenced all over the place. Not a f***** word. Didn`t they postponed the fight, and Wilder still didn`t say word, and wasn`t ready? And then the deadline expired by a lot of days.
And after all that happen we heard from the big BUM Wilder, talking nonsense's.
Fury fault is that the stupid gypsy didn`t sue Wilder, as he have a clear case for BIG BIG Money for all the nonsenses Wilder have stated about him, and all the stuff were easy provable that is 100% not correct.
They probably paid the guy that was doing the arbitration, or because its held in America.
The pandemic is not a reason for Wilder to go into hiding, as well as missing every single deadline out there, and just open his stupid mouth after the deadline was over. And everyone is making matches during the pandemic, so you cannot use that as an excuse.
Fury should just go to the court. I don`t see how anyone with a right mind can score it for Wilder.

I got no problem with Fury doing the rematch with Wilder, but if it was at the time the rematch was scheduled to happen.
It was all Wilder fault.

 

Doing interviews or not doing interviews has nothing to do with the contract situation. All parties specifically Arum, Warren, and Fury have always brought up the contract dispute, limbo of the situation, etc. Literally for over a year. And also recently. It never magically disappeared because you personally didn't hear Wilder give an interview about it.

 

He wouldnt need specific caveat in event of global pandemic. Force majeure clause would be suficient and you would think multi milion dollar contract have it as it is pretty basic even in smaller contracts

 

He actually would need a specific caveat for global pandemic as the contract was written pre 2020. Some states in the U.S.A now recognise Covid as a 'force of nature' or 'natural disaster' (most notably Pennsylvania) But that only came into force in April 2020. SO unless the contract specifically mentions a Global Pandemic by name OR the contract was re-written and agreed after April 2020 it should not be admissable

 

Did you even read what i write? Contract has expired. There WAS exactly 2 dates for the rematch, yet there was NOTHING, absolutely nothing from Wilder team. The deadline expired. The Pandemic has nothing to do with it.
Wilder and his team was all quiet in that time. Wilder didn`t want to Fury at all. Didn`t even Fury team have said that they are giving Wilder team a X amount of time, and if they don`t want/sign(or make the fight or whatever it is), they will move on, as it happen.

 

Ah, my bad.

I only scan read initially as I was doing something.

I thought it was the WBC telling Fury that he had to honour the rematch.

Ultimately, what can the lawyers actually do?

They can't force him to fight.

Would they sue?

Fury might have a decent case to say he tried to make it happen and in the end gave up and moved on.

Whether that has any merit, from a legal perspective, I don't know.

Anyway, as I said, I'd ignore it and focus on AJ.
