All the examples you've provided are giving deadlines of over a week or more, and after initial contract talks have begun (the exception being Jake Paul v Tyson...really?).
Fury was setting deadlines before the contract was even delivered, which is completely unrealistic.
Then, the first day of negotiations with all relevant parties meeting to discuss, he set a dealine of 5pm that same day. A deadline of less than a day. Again completely unrealistic.
So any examples of personal deadlines being set with less than a day's notice of contract negotiations starting?
Now your turn to give me examples of other fighters who have agreed terms to fight, freestyled about signing the contract and travelled abroad to do fashion shows instead of training whilst their trainer was on a different continent.

Re: Tyson Fury vs. Derek Chisora III | BT PPV - 3 December 2022
Yeah - he gave another short deadline 3 days later. His stupid games gave AJ’s team a route out of the fight and would have slowed down and impacted negotiations.BigDoofus wrote: ↑05 Nov 2022, 07:14As you well know there was another deadline and negotiations carried on after that and Joshua's team never provided a turnaround on the contract.maverick23 wrote: ↑05 Nov 2022, 06:32 Verbal offer on the 6th, first contract sent on the 16th and that’s seemingly with little discussion between the teams between those dates which would normally slow things down.
Fury then issues an ultimatum on the 23rd (just 7 days after the contract was sent where they’d seemingly been little discussion between the teams before it was issued). The ultimatum was ‘if it’s not done by Monday, I’m moving on’.
Fury then on the 26th says ‘“Well guys, it’s official. D-day has come and gone. It’s gone past five o’clock, Monday. No contract has been signed. It’s officially over for Joshua.’
He then announced the following day he was fighting Manuel Charr.
As I’ve said before I think Fury did want the fight. He’s just not intelligent enough to realise that these kind of things gave AJ’s team a reason not to progress. If he keeps his mouth shut then I think Matchroom and AJ would have ended up signing, despite Matchroom not wanting to.

Joshua has hinted at "mentally needing a rest" yet you insist he would have signed if Fury kept his mouth shut. What do you think it was that Fury said that affected Joshua's mental state so badly?
Fortunately he didn’t give Del Boy deadlines and they managed to get the fight announced 9 weeks after Del Boy received the first contract. It would have been nice if he’d given AJ a quarter of that time.

Zero point in engaging with Big Doofus. Just a troll. Nothing more, nothing less. And Fury is no different.
That said, it was interesting to see True Geordie engage with Fury. Imagine the reaction if he had touched on uncastrated wild boar gate..

Sure, no problem
When Fury agreed to the Klitschko rematch.
Although, not sure if drink and cocaine binges are quite as horrific as those damn fashion shows?

Del lumbers forward, landing a few lefts and rights to the body, missing with the overhand right. Fury will carry it for a few rounds and Del will be put into his shell with Fury's accuracy. Del finds a home on the ropes and after a couple more rounds, the ref steps in during a Fury barrage with little landing.

So you think that Fury's "stupid games" were the reason that Joshua mentally needed a rest? Were they so bad that he needed another 5 months off?maverick23 wrote: ↑05 Nov 2022, 07:24Yeah - he gave another short deadline 3 days later.

Your hero Eddie has said that him and Joshua should take equal blame for the fight not happening. What do you and the other Gratest AJ fanboys concede that they did wrong?

Fury took 3 years off after agreeing the rematch with Klitschko.
Lol. I'm not an AJ fanboy Doofus, I've already said they were both to blame. You just seem to be the only one on here who takes Fury's word as gospel, while losing it with anything Joshua does.
Anyway, Fury had already said in August he was coming out of retirement to fight Chisora in December. He was telling the truth for once.

Joshua decided he needed to rest after Fury signed to fight Chisora. Who knows when he’ll return now. I’d imagine it’d be before May.
Eddie isn’t my hero. Far from it. Calling me an AJ fanboy is also a bit strange - I’ve paid to see more Fury fights live than AJ fights (including Klitschko). He’s an amazing boxer. Just talks more shit than any fighter in recent memory and had had made a really disappointing opponent choice in his next fight when he could have kept his mouth shut to force Matchroom to accept the AJ fight.
