Hearn still unsure if Fury will take the Whyte fight

[bjornborgbook]

Interesting quote... In his most recent interview, Eddie Hearn says, "In my heart of hearts, I don't know whether Tyson Fury takes this fight. That's honestly what I believe."

Arum is the biggest liar in boxing history, Mayweather is second by a nose and Fury is not far off the pace. How he faked out of the AJ fight was very interesting and revealing, he's very very very clever ducker and a talentd wwf style actor. I could see Fury and Arum faking out of this fight with Whyte. They had to pretend to want it to save value. This whole purse bid exercise may be a giant bluff and they may still use an excuse to not send the contract. That they have not sent the contract yet is a very bad look by Arum and Fury. Hearn learned a lot about Arum and Fury faking through negotiations last year for the AJ bluff and duck out by Fury.

Arum and Fury can still make their big duck move by nitpicking on some term of the deal and use that as the escape hatch. I predict they are going to concoct some BS way to blame Hearn to cancel the fight. But the real reason is Whyte is just too dangerous for the big fat fading phony.

they’ve paid the 10% deposit so i do think the fight will happen, but agree that Fury talks total shit, it’s just so tiresome

yes and it's a bad look for him. All the great true champions alway spoke with a certain dignity and honor and direct clear simplicity. They don't waste words. Floyd was not a real true great, he was a protected fraud, and the way he talked and lied and wasted so many words, it gave the whole the whole charade away. Floyd was a protected by the establishment pretender masquerading himself as a great.

Fury sounds like a clown fool most every time he talks, its all BS. No class, just a big windbag who sounds like a bum, I think he's shot or on drugs and he's just acting the part now. He fought wilder because he knew wilder was a total fraud bum and any top hwt could beat wilder without even training. Fury knows Whyte is a very dangerous challenge, I think Fury and Arum are going to try and escape Whyte. And they conned this whole purse bid deal to get PR to try to raise Fury's value, because he is still not a proven big seller on his own.

Predict they will send the contract last minute, not give Whyte and Hearn enough time to read it and then the rigged WBC will say "Time's up!"

I’ve never seen so much BS in Boxing matchmaking than the last year. Perhaps Boxers today have too much say at this point on who they fight next. Back in the day, in most noteworthy fights, we knew that if X best Y then he’s fighting Z. Now it’s an absolute mess and you can blame the Boxers, Promotors or the crazy money the top guys are getting these days. But it’s a mess. I thought this was on Whyte to accept and now I’m hearing 50 other things. Wake me up when it’s fight night. Jesus

Yep, ever since Mayweather's fifteen years of ducking dodging and handpicking low risk patsies, boxing has taken a turn for the worse. Blame it mostly on Floyd's BS. Now when a good boxer gets a status, he turns into a businessman and tries to do as many easy fights/paydays as he can get away with before taking that big risk fight. Back in the 80s, the best fought the best, no hesitation. Floyd should be canceled and erased from boxing history.

Honored bro and thank you kindly. Fraudweather ruined boxing, hope we can save it.

Boxing is now predominantly a business - a means of cleverly syphoning off large sums of money to redistribute amongst it's elite cartel.

No one fighter did more to make it so than Floyd Mayweather Jr. I guess he didn't call himself 'Money Mayweather' for nothing.

The action in the ring is usually nothing compared to the real fighting behind the scenes which sometimes lasts for years.

However all is not lost, not even the most carefully calculated business algorithms can prevent some potentially good fights taking place.

Fury v Whyte one such fight and will happen because there is nowhere else for either of them to go if it doesn't.

Fury could have had Usyk, but he didn't want it.

Fury can't fight Wilder again because that well may have finally run itself dry (where that leaves the Brown Bomber now is unclear, but who cares?).

April looks like it could be the 2022 month for heavyweight boxing.
