If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
Lets have it right, if Wlad fights Fury again and Tyson manages a W. Tyson will fight whiever brings the most ££ to the table.
So, who brings the most should Tyson beat Wlad

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
Haye without doubt, especially if he picked up a title in the interim.
Joshua would do big money too.
Both would be bigger than the others I think.

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
I'd say AJ brings the most money after the crazy numbers he did for a British title fight on PPV, if he beats Martin even more casuals will be on the train. Eddie isn't stupid though he wont let him near Fury until he gets a couple of nice easy (money) defences out of the way first. I think Fury is hoping for Wilder to beat Povetkin to set up a big unification with him but I think Povetkin will ruin that plan.

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
I voted for a unification with Wilder that would bring in the most £€$ as of right now. Both have over 25 fight's without defeat, and it would add more of a "Worldwide" edge to the contest. AJ would be a big fight now, but even bigger down the line if he gains more experience whilst staying undefeated ! Let's be true to ourselves here, AJ is not a realistic contender to Wilder or Fury at this stage, and Wilder/Fury has spent longer in the public imagination as a future unification contest.

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
It's funny but I didn't even think of David Haye ! He had his chance twice and pulled out as many times ! Seems Fury was too much of a risk for him at that point with no titles ! Now he is the Heavyweight Champ he has what crybaby Haye wants, and he thinks he can jump the que on account of his past accomplishments alone ! Yes if it ever happened it would pull in a fair amount of dough, but Haye is fighting hard to stay relevant right now, and what the world really wants to see is two unbeaten World Champions settle the Heavyweight Championship at their best !

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
Ha Ha cheers dude ! Don't get me wrong, I like Haye, and only a fool wouldn't respect him as a fighter, but I like Tyson Fury more, as a person aswell as a fighter ! But people seem to forget that before Haye lost to Wlad Klitschko, he said he would retire before the age of 31 ! That loss kept him in the sport a little longer, then he went right off the radar for 3 years, and only came back in my opinion, because Heavyweight boxing is exciting again, and he wants a slice of the pie ! There are undoubtedly loads more potential big money match ups to be made right now, much more than before, and some would say he would be a fool not to make a comeback before he get's too old ! Right now he is 35, I'm almost 33 myself and still feel in my prime, so he can't be that past it ! David Haye is allway's a dangerous opponent, and even the Fury's would have to respect him (privately) but they sure as hell aren't afraid of him lol ! And are confident of beating him. Tyson would use his reach, height, and superior boxing brain to beat him on points, AJ I'm afraid takes that fight too early if he took it now, or anytime within a year of the Martin fight. Haye would be too devastating for him, and quick too ! AJ is fast himself, but needs guy's (at the moment) who are slower than him to make him look good ! I believe Haye just has too much of everything for AJ to win, especially including experience ! Whereas Tyson has no problem in that department, and knows that he has the mental edge of knowing not only Haye pulled out of their fight twice, but that he beat the man Haye couldn't in Wladimir Klitschko ! Deontay Wilder vs Haye ? For me that one could go either way, but if I had to choose, I say Wilder by KO.Wales wrote:You've only made 25 posts yet this is one of the best statements ive seen in years.Matt the Master wrote:Haye is fighting hard to stay relevant right now

Why on earth Daffy? Even Shannon Briggs has proved more recently. Fighting one bum in 3 years gives you a title shot? Whoever chose him, must be nuts.
Also, I'm more curious about what's going to happen if Klitschko wins anyway

Wilder for me.
Those two have to fight each other, more for the sake of the HW division than anything else.
I'm not too fussed about Haye.
He hasn't fought anyone with a pulse or worthwhile since 'toegate', so he needs to prove that he is worthy.

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
Fury v Joshua is the largest money fight. That would sell Wembley in a heartbeat an produce the largest ever British PPV.
Haye v Joshua is the second largest.
All the others are big in their own rights but not comparable to those two.

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
The fight I'd like to see if they both win would be Fury Wilder. The fight that would make most money would be Fury AJ without a doubt. The casuals will be creaming themselves when/if AJ picks up a world title and the coverage he'll get from Sky will probably become tedious after the 2nd day! Couple that with all things Fury and you've got a massive fight.

A fight with Haye, or potentially even Joshua would bring in way more money that Wilder.Matt the Master wrote:I voted for a unification with Wilder that would bring in the most £€$ as of right now.

Wilder's not a big star in the U.S, and most people here have never heard of him.
Making money is about filling venues and selling the fight on PPV/TV - Wilder is not a big star, and has bugger all worldwide profile.

If haye can fill the 02 fighting De Mori, then imagine what numbers it would do.
Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
Wilder then Joshua for the retirement fight? Fooks nose but he is going to be a very rich man by the end of it all 
Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
Nah I dont think so. AJ sold 400k ppv for fighting novice. Imagine fighting the champ with 3 belts on the line. Also Fury v Haye has an unpleasant history of pull outs that wont help generate enthusiasm.jamesmcdonnell wrote: I reckon Fury v Haye makes the most.

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
Imagine the frenzy that could be built up if sky got their hands on that fight? They would get it up there with Froch v Groves 2. Some fights capture the publics imagination and this would be one of them. Every man and his dog would have an opinion on that.jamesmcdonnell wrote:I reckon Fury v Haye makes the most.Tarkus wrote:Fury v Joshua is the largest money fight.

Eddie wouldn't even need to provide a 'stacked' undercard to help sell it.... Oh, he never actually does anyway.
Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
I'd say Wilder from what I know, he's the biggest, and probably is the best at the one punch KO, a combo which I think makes him by far the most dangerous. That said he is not the most skillfull so he probably would get pretty outboxed. If Povetkin won I think his sheer size disadvantage would make him far less likely to win.
Edit: Oh if we're just taking about dat munee then it's Joshua, but I think that'd be a much easier fight and do much less for his status in the long run.

Re: If Fury beats Wlad again (if they even fight) ....
He'll milk it with some easy fights. Not a criticism, he's beaten Wladimir twice, entitled to some easy defences, but it's a shame because he fights so sporadically. The division will never be sorted out.
