    This would be the Biggest Heavyweight Fight Night this Century.

    But nobody (Fury-Usyk-Wilder-Joshua) will likely be fighting anyone until December if this happens.

    Call me cynical but this is too good to happen. Something will fall through.

    If they're charging $85 for Gervonta Davis, how much will they charge U.S. fans for a doubleheader like that?

    The only thing that can get in the way is the old boxing mob with legal contracts. Wilder is the hardest guy to get here he just has to tell Haymon to suck eggs.

    I have no idea what to think of all this?

    On a positive note, if it happens, it would be a great night for heavyweight boxing ... a night people will never forget.

    On the other hand, the chances of any of these guys fighting before December (if this is even remotely a possibility) is next to nil.

    So the boxing year for heavyweight fans will basically come down to one night ... eight months from now.

    And the PPV cost will likely be astronomical (in the U.S. for sure).

    So, it's time for Jared Anderson, Filip Hrgovic, Lenier Pero, Frank Sanchez, etc. to get their butts in the ring and start fighting regularly.

    Have Zhang and Hrgovic rematch ... because Zhang isn't getting Fury or Usyk. So those two can decide who is the "best of the rest."

    Or put Zhang and Hrgovic in with either Andy Ruiz or Frank Sanchez. Make Joyce-Whyte in the UK, because neither of them will ever be champ. Might as well make as much as they can in the meantime.

    They all have to start fighting each other so there will be someone ready when the dust clears.

    Because the top of the division will be in locked down until well into next year.

    The "thought" of Saudi money has basically brought the top of the division to a standstill.

    There may have been more fights during the COVID pandemic than there will be this year.

    No chance this happens but if it does it might respark interest in boxing.

    There is a 0% chance these guys will fight on the same night. If they did the PPV would have be $250 or so in the U.S. Also, there's no way in hell guys with egos like Wilder & Joshua are fighting on an undercard.

    I could see a two-night deal, one in November and one in December or something like that, but even that's a stretch.

    Would rather see Fury, Usyk, Wilder, Ruiz and Hrgovic all in action this summer in some form or another.

    Three of the four camps have confirmed the talks have begun. Hell, the Saudis pilfered half the PGA Tour, and they've already got these four teams tripping over each other with their hands out.

    I agree, none of these guys will ever agree to be on the other's undercard.

    It's a shame though, it wasn't that long ago the Don King era was putting these types of cards together for the people

    I believe talks have begun, considering two of the three representatives confirming those talks are from the camps whose fighters would be fighting on THAT UNDERCARD.

    If the guys who would be on the undercard were denying it, and saying they'd never do it, that would be another story. But they're the ones who "spilled the beans."

    We'll see.

    It won't happen.

    But if it does, I presume that Usyk will have to fight before then. I wonder who the right opponent would be in that instance. Possibly it matters less for Wilder to fight before then but he should probably get out too.
