    The second fight should have sold at least 1 million. Now Fury has left zero doubt who the better boxer is between the two.

    I think the Wilder has the rematch rights through 2020. If Fury fights someone else before those expire, he is open up to be found liable in a lawsuit form team Wilder. Fury saying he will fight in 2021 would seem to back this up.

    My guess is the money just wasn't there to afford a full card, so the entire plan imploded.
