Joshua v Fury v Wilder will NEVER happen

Post by dalcumly »

Just read an article over the weekend about the media/TV/streaming giants and their battle for supremacy ( Google,Amazon, Comcast,Fox). Some of the proposed mergers are anticipating the creation of the first trillion dollar company.
Within this 'battle' the PPV boxing world falls into insignificance. The only role for TV/Streaming/PPV executives is to put on a show, not to secure profits, and with this competition to merge, or takeover rivals, there is absolutely no way Joshua/Wilder/Fury will be allowed to fight each other on rival platforms, or even shared platforms.
The only solution is at the end of their existing contracts, for boxers to switch to a rival TV/Streaming company eg Wilder to join with DAZN and create the possibility of a Joshua v Wilder match up. Unfortunately for the boxing public my understanding is that these contracts are no where near renewal date.
This is why I don't believe these fights will EVER take place, and certainly NOT before 2021.

i hope not, and expect not. theres a lot of money to be made by collaborating and if they dont interest, and profit will start to die imo.

Lewis/Tyson would never have happened due to the difference between HBO and Showtime. It was 9/11 that shocked them into coming together and making the fight!

Business ruins boxing.
