More Frank talks the less likely it seems that we'll see Fury fight Wilder or AJ. It sounds as if he'll be Top Rank / ESPN's in house HW, preserviing their position in the division.
If wilder and fury do not fight each other, i will not be happy especially with them rejecting offers from Joshua
Looking like a bigger obstacle for the Wilder rematch. There were rumours that Fury had second thoughts after that brutal knock down in the 12th by the devastating bronze bomber. Hopefully it just means he's looking for more fairer judges. Time will tell. Maybe will see him fight Pulev, and try to avenge Hughie lol.
What about the rematch? I'm sure seeing as he just signed a contract with espn are they going to let him go straight on to shotime? There is not a chance in hell haymon will roll with it being on espn. Purse bids or no fight? But then I think they sweating on DAZN muscling in on them and winning the bid?
Fury wanting some of them shekels the ones he once would have rejected like the plague no ? This content is protected
Just means the rematch will go to purse bids by the looks of it. If it doesn't go ahead and they both fight lesser fighters then they are going to look foolish after rejecting the Joshua offers of a payday.
Fury saying that he doesnt care if certain fights never happen and he wont lose any sleep over it. Surely does not bode well for fans if thats his mindset.
DAZN won't bid for Fury Wilder 2, they would get nothing out of it if neither guy is signed with them long term. It would be buying a girl a car for her birthday if you know she's going to leave you and go back to her boyfriend anyway.
That should be an extremely interesting purse bid. The percentages will be in Wilder's favor but not too lopsided. So, ESPN might want to bid some good money to get the fight. And, also Hearn might want to get it on DAZN.
Things just got a lot more complicated for Matchroom and Hearn; there's another pot of cash for HWs to grab now. He's gonna have to moderate his arrogant approach to the US market or his prized asset AJ could be frozen out even more so than he is right now...
