Oh I'll be happy to admit I'm wrong as i am dying to see the fight and i hope im wrong but i just cant see it happening. I hope you are right
lots of good replies on here saying that it will happen and lots saying why it wont happen. And we will have to wait and see. I hope im wrong and it does happen and ill eat crow. If im right ill be really annoyed
Oh okay my bad I thought you was one of the AJ fan boys who are praying for this fight not to come off. I’ll admit they should have kept their mouths shut till they had more sorted it out but I think it will come off.
I hope it happens. it makes things clear in the division. We need to have one of the 3 come out on top.
fury is rushing into the fight. i think he gets knocked out early. i see the fight happening. money isnt an issue here. it will make money. these guys can sell this fight .
I can agree with this. Whilst a great fight, I personally think in terms of business it's a wrong move. They can both make much morr money from Joshua if they don't fight each other. Money talks.
I like Joshua but of course I wanna see the fight, and I'll clearly stay up late and order the PPV. A good undercard, with hype from Wilder/Fury and I'd be interested to see how it draws on PPV.
Yeah, I mean, there's no question its been a very weird fight to develop. They announced it well over a month ago. Then it took them a month to announce the date. Then another week to announce the location. And had to fight off rumors Fury was backing out somewhere in their too. Then add in that of the three biggest fights Wilder lined up (Sasha, Ortiz first attempt, Ortiz second attempt), only one of them happened. And THEN add in that Fury pulled out twice against Wlad, and went in and out of retirement for years for mental issues. I think this fight is absolutely PERFECT for the division if it happens, and makes a TON of sense for both fighters to do. But yes, there is no question that there are reasonable grounds to expect that something will happen to prevent it.
Out of the three i prefer fury. With joshua i sometimes hate him i sometimes think his okay. If bashed wilder to no end but he is exciting and if his stepping up fair play. I hope it does come off very interesting fight with interesting characters but if i was betting I'd say it doesnt
The fight is a two fight deal for each so its two paydays where the second fight will be bigger. The trick here is wilder knows its an easier fight win or lose and collects more then 15 million in TWO fights. this is bc Wilder feels he needs a rematch against Joshua so hes promising Fury one bc its a no lose situation ,a possible third fight as well if Fury can take one. Fury has nothing to lose so he doesn't care . Basically Wilder has declined Joshua bc he doesn't think he can win or is not sure so fighting a guaranteed fight twice where his team dictates things is far safer and will make more money with a rematch attached so giving one to fury who is the second biggest name he'll ever fight is the next step. this is why I think they will fight,both have more to gain unless you think Wilder would defeat Joshua bc a second fight there he gets 50% on a 100 million dollar maybe more in 2019 but Wilder ran away from it.
You say that like it is completely implausible these 2 camps would do that. Not probable sure, but impossible? Far from it.
Wilder fights at Barclays bc Lou Dibella runs it. He has half or most of his title fights there, it would have nothing to do with fighting in L.A bc he fights in other places.. Fury is not that dumb to agree to a N.Y fight ( I hope ) or a Alabama one bc he will need to go WAY beyond to get a UD there.
