    I can only imagine, how angry he and his team must be at the moment. He’s now in a very tight spot, as the WBC have ordered the Breazeale -Whyte fight already otherwise he could have made a deal with one of those guys. So what does he do now... fight Kownacki on Showtime with a heavy undercard to try to get it upto PPV standard?

    Is there not a possibility ESPN and Showtime could not come to an agreement and both showcase this fight. Am I right in thinking this has been done before?

    The Fury fight will go to purse bids, as ordered by the WBC if they couldn't make a deal. Both will now make a shed load of cash...

    I'm not sure about ESPN, but a joint broadcast has been done between Showtime and HBO before. They both showed Mayweather vs Pacquiao if I'm not mistaken.

    There’s a purse bid if they can’t reach a deal so unless one of them pulls out the fight can still happen.

    If not I have a feeling Wilder’s next fight will be against Joyce if he beats Stiverne, which he will.

    If Fury vs Wilder II, isn't happening anymore, then I'm hoping it brings Wilder and Joshua back to the negotiating table to get a fight on between them later in the year. Wishful thinking, I know.

    Just a ball park figure but 500,000 would yield nearly £30m. That’s big money.

    That’s right, thanks mate. Nobody would have thought you could get them two together but they managed it. If there’s big money people will do what they can to make it work.

    This !! If Wilder has half a brain he will let it go to purse bids and cream 55% of the purse.
