About the rumor that Wilder will step aside on the trilogy fight against Fury and will just take money instead, this is not true, the fight is one.
The reason Wilder took the third fight is because his ego is not accepting the defeat and even though there were talks about paying him off it was evident his ego will not allow that to happen and he was even questioning the legacy of Mike Tyson in the past few months about the top fighters he faced during his career.
And the money as well, any of them are entitled for a rematch if they'll asked based on the contract they signed, so why not ask for a rematch when a defeated gambler has a chance to win back the belt and at the same like like I mentioned, make more money.
It's a good news to know that this fight will push through, but we can't be too excited as it seems like not gonna happen this read.
I read an article that the promoter wants more money, so under the current situation it's not possible as bigger money are coming from the gate entrance.
My best estimate is this fight will happen next year or when the vaccine arrives, whichever comes first.
The fight will happen but we are no way on the verge of producing any vaccine and it is a long distant dream and we have to expect that the virus will die off eventually after one year, but the question is, is it that simple to be optimistic about it, the number of cases are surging on and off and we are forced to live with that situation and for the promoters to expect to have a full audience within an year is optimistic but if we have a better testing kit then they can test everyone and that will be the game changer than expecting a vaccine .
No way it would attract a crowd if there is no vaccine, even if they want it, the authorities will not allow it and I think it's more convenient to just want alone not feeling the risk that you get infected and no social distancing as well.
Get some beer and just enjoy them fighting, I think promoters has to reconsider that as well, they just find a way to increase their revenue from advertisements and increase of the PPV price.
