    No Furys revenue from ESPN is £16m around double Wilders biggest pay plus he will earn millions on top of that so why go on Showtime to be shafted for a fraction of that earnings.

    When is 50/50 really 50/50. The first fight was supposed to be a 50/50 split as per Warren. Afterwards, it has been regularly reported that Wilder made almost double the amount of money that Fury did. In a second fight, with more revenue, it's highly understandable if Fury doesn't trust that he would actually get his fair share.

    I'll go with what Espinoza confirmed the other day on twitter. There was and is no $50 mil.

    Aj's revenue is higher on Sky box office that Fury's is on BT.

    Frank Warren however demands any AJ v Fury fight is on BT and Sky..

    Yep thats what they all said when I predicted that Tyson Fury would pull out of the rematch, many months before it reached the purse bid

    I will now confidently say Tyson Fury will now never fight either AJ or Wilder.

    His deal with ESPN has made sure of that.

    And yes he may well have outboxed Wilder during rounds, but never did enough to win, in fact he should have lost.

    Agreed. Far more chance of AJ Wilder, and IMHO that is (very) unlikely for the foreseeable future.

    Gotta love Tyson’s talk of being a “fighting man”. He’s a ducker.

    Ran from the rematch.
    Can’t fight AJ now.

    He’s as smart as he is deluded.

    Hearn should give Wilder 50/50. Because Wilder’s agenda doesn’t seem to be being the undisputed. Hearn is obsessed with it.

    Now is the time for Hearn to get out the chequebook.

    If Wilder was to sign with someone other than Hearn, he’ll still make many millions.

    But Fury will get more tv revenue going forward because of ESPN deal. He is now the biggest earner commercially in the division. Frank clearly isn't in charge any more Arum is.

    TV revenue surely depends on people watching his fights though? And nobody is interested in Fury flapping around and sticking his tongue out against someone like Pulev or Parker enough to generate the sort of money people are taking about.

    He is guaranteed £16m a fight from US tv rights. Obviously for that Arum is running the show.

    Arum came out and said the financial figures were 'bulls*it.'

    Why would a network pay a guy as unpopular as Fury that sort of money?

    Can spin that round and ask why would a network pay Wilder $15m to fight cash in hand construction worker Adam Kownacki?

    And when I made that argument in the other thread, all the nuthuggers said “it’s because they can pay it”.

    And what does Wilder want? He will spend all summer begging for 50-50 then fight Ortiz in the fall.
    We ain't seeing Wilder-AJ unless Alabama village idiot swallows his pride.
