Didn't BJS have an issue?
I KNOW they're not very good payers at a low level, might be different at the top.
He said he did but he also talks more bluster than Tyson and then removed his tweet/post.
He also claimed he’d never fought in such a small ring as they were proposing for Canelo and would walk away from the fight if they didn’t increase it when in reality it was the same size as the one he fought Murray in.
If it goes to purse bids and Matchroom win then it’ll be clear how much Fury is due and when and I can’t see any issue in him getting paid in full and on time. Unlike say Triller where Mike Tyson is still claiming he’s not paid fully for his Jones Jr fight and all the moves with the Lopez fight.
Am I the only one who doesn't trust any account of what's gone on or what's going to happen, and will probably just look forward to the fights when they are announced?

Boxing eh.
When - that is confidence!!!
Wilder vs AJ.
AJ vs Fury
For both is seemed to be a matter of "when" not "if".
Wouldn't be at all surprised that Fury will go down the "Ring / Linear" champion route just to give the one finger salute to Eddie.
Just wish the promoters would stop talking about the latest developments every freaking day - just tell Kugan, nothing more to report - now lets move on to talk about Katie Taylor. Learn from Boris! I'll be knowing the bowel movement of Sulliman next.
How on earth is Eddie going to spin it to make Tyson look bad, when Whyte was ordered? They're devastated AJ has to fight Usyk again! That's the bottom line.

As I said yesterday it seems Tyson wanted a soft one first before he’d fight Usyk. Whilst Eddie said it (and his version of events will be one sided), Alex Krassyuk said similar as did several of the usual boxing reporters.
Fury could have gone straight to Usyk it seems but didn’t want to, so he fights Whyte and AJ will likely fight Usyk again if he wants to. Happy days as it’s 2 good fights.
Love that when Hearn was asked 'What would have happened to Dillian Whyte' as part of all this, he can't answer, so stops answering the question and blames it on Fury not wanting to fight Usyk

Bullshit everywhere.
Love to see Usyk beat them all.
He probably didn’t want to say that Dillian would have pocketed several million in exchange for him being out of the world title picture for around 18 months. Not a good look for someone who’s seemingly been chasing hard for a world title fight.

Or that they'd write the WBC off for the Fury/AJ/Usyk fights, and let him fight for that plus pocket his 5 mil.

Who knows. Bunch of twats the lot.
I listened to an another interview - they said the plan was for the unification between Usyk/Fury, AJ to fight the winner for the WBA/IBF/WBO and Whyte to fight for the vacant WBC.
Didn’t get to the stage of contracts though and was scuppered by Tyson insisting on a tune up.
Anyway hopefully the purse bids happen later, we get Whyte/Fury and Usyk/AJ and the silliness stops for a while.
