Theory. Bob signed Fury for A.) Sees the big heavyweight fights down the line but B.) For Crawford He knows after Khan options are bleak for Crawford. PBC has all the welters. Get the bigger fight Fury-Wilder 2 then Showtime will get Crawford vs Spence or Thurman. Showtime/PBC has to play ball now. This is GOOD for big fights THIS YEAR. DW vs Fury is definitely not next. Option1: ESPN has to squeeze at least one fight maybe two out of Fury before they risk a lost vs Wilder. Parker/Puluv/Jennings/Rivas for Fury. DW either going fight Brezeale or Whyte (if we get Whyte-Wilder out of this not to shabby). Let DW fight one of them on Fox to a bigger audience. Fury could use another fight to knock rust off. Result: We get Whyte-Wilder hopefully before Fury-Wilder 2 later this year. Added bonus of Crawford vs Spence/Thurman Option 2: I think this is the most realistic. ESPN will want to milk Fury for 3 fights this year. Result: Hearn and DAZN going get desperate after Miller. Have to make a splash. Going offer Wilder way too much money to turn down. Wilder-Joshua fight for undisputed on DAZN. People in America will flock to buy the app for that fight. Fury and ESPN sit back and get the winner on ESPN. ------->Bonus: GGG signs with PBC. DAZN gives Canelo to Showtime for GGG trilogy for Wilder-AJ. Both are great options. I'd prefer option 2 because I'm dying to see AJ-DW for undisputed. I think Fury signing with ESPN just made everyone have to play ball with each other. There is also Tank vs Loma or Loma vs Mikey. UYSK could trade.
