Fury v Wilder III on July, 24

I literally read so little boxing news that I'm distanced from the daily emotional drama and irrelevant twists, so it was obvious from the sidelines that Wilder is always going to exercise his right for the 3rd fight. It's a good one too and if AJ bounced back, Wilder could too so lets stop pretending in our daily emotional drama style that it's a bad fight - at worst the division no1 is facing the no3 rather than no2, and whoever wins, will complete the belt collection next.

It's cool.

 

Yes, that's about right.

 

9 weeks away, I'll take it!

AJ, Usyk, Whyte, Parker, Joyce, Ruiz, Hunter and Chisora should all negotiate and give us more action at heavyweight.

More fights please!

 

Should be bareknuckles behind Fury's vintage caravan with no cornermen or rounds.

 

Considering how quick this fight has been agreed I have no doubt Arum and Team Fury expected to lose the case and were just chancing there arm.

They negotiated a fight with AJ in bad faith as were in no position to say arbitration wouldn't be an issue.

 

Why though ?
What motive ?

 

As I said they were prepared to take the gamble. Arum wasn't the one making the fight. He wasn't finding the venue, he wasn't finding the money and he wasn't the one dealing with the Saudis.

Hearn is the one who looks bad with the Saudis as he would have told them the fight in August was a goer barring injury.

If Hearn would have said to the Saudis "we can get this fight agreed. You build a stadium, put up the money for each fighter but there is a strong chance a judge in the US will rule that the fight can't happen" the Saudis wouldnt have bothered.

I think if matchroom had access to that Fury v wilder contract they wouldn't have even bothered to try make the Fury fight as they would have seen wilder had a strong case.

Why was it that Arum and Fury kept saying the AJ fight wasn't going to happen.

Eddie Hearn when asked for updates was always confident it would get done but Arum publicly would say couldn't happen in August. Arum would have spoken to Hearn and got all the latest info so would have known how close they were to an agreement but decided to say otherwise to the media. Why?

 

We all knew Arum might lose the arbitration. We all knew the Wilder fight was possible.
Eddie Hearn knew as much as us at least.
You're saying Hearn didn't consider the possibility that Wilder's side might win the case. That doesn't add up.
You're saying he was duped. He's not that green. We don't know what he said to the Saudis.
All sides will want to spin it to make themselves look blameless, but there's nothing to be blamed for anyway. It's just a rewind to 12 months ago.
Fury to face Wilder for a third time, in July. But 2021 instead of 2020. That's it.
If the Arabs are pissed off, well, nevermind, they'll get over it.

 

I would have paid to see Fury-Joshua.

I will not pay to see this.

And now, after all the BS, I will not pay to see Fury-Joshua.

Guys, you aren't making a dime off me, and I am representative of the feeling of a large part of the fan base this sport has left.

 

Motive would be to up their profile before they fight each other ( Wilder Fury 3 ) they needed something because no-one wanted a rematch after the complete embarrassment of wilder, the same way Wilder used Joshua's name to up his profile only to duck a fight they wanted to use Joshua.

 

Eddie Hearns fan need to own up to the fact that he showed incompetency in this entire episode. He did not do his due diligence which reflects poorly on him. Same goes for Frank Warren and Bob Arum

If anything the silent trio of Al Haymon and Shelly Finkel beat the pants out of these guys who routinely come in front of the media with the victory dances, celebrations whereas they operate in silence

 

Why though?

Fury is not a bareknuckle fighter, probably never has been. He's been trained as a boxer all his life....

Boxers hit too hard for bareknuckle, it would destroy their hands.

Gloves protect hands too you know

 

Al Haymon and Shelly Finkel are pros.

People hate on them because they are part of Team Wilder....and use their professionalism as a way to bash wilder and claim he is silent and not interested in fighting because he doesn't negotiate on twitter like the rest of these clowns do.

Shelly and Al talk business in the office, not on twitter

 

No judges!!!
