泰森弗里,安东尼约书亚签了两场比赛的合同

经过几个月的艰苦谈判,拳王泰森·弗瑞和拳王安东尼·约书亚终于签下了重量级拳王头衔的合同。
“我们希望下个月能确认一笔网站交易,”乔舒亚的推广人、Matchroom Sport的总经理埃迪•赫恩(Eddie Hearn)说。“最难的部分是让每个人都下笔。但这是各方的主要努力,以使这条线。你有竞争对手的推广者,竞争对手的网络和竞争对手。”
更不用说对手的自负,这一直是拳击的一个因素。最后的签字是在周六,在一份服务条款协议中,据信签署人包括弗瑞和约书亚;Joshua的推广人Matchroom Boxing;《狂怒》的美国推广人,顶级;《狂怒》的英国推广人Queensberry;以及弗瑞的管理公司,总部位于迪拜的MTK。
真实与否:安东尼·约书亚-泰森的愤怒将加冕一个新的重量级偶像
了不起的马文·哈格勒(Marvin Hagler)赢得了拳击界最大的奖项——走开
在击败克利钦科五年后,弗瑞的未来会怎样?
现在交易的条款已经确定,校长可以从潜在的网站征求报价。
一位高层消息人士说:“还有待确定,要找到一个双方都能接受的地点和日期。”我们还有30天时间签署协议,否则协议可能会泡掉。”
“我真的觉得我们已经完成了最困难的部分,”赫恩说。“就我个人而言,安东尼和他在258管理(258管理)的团队,我知道过去几个月我们有多么努力,我只是觉得这场战斗是如此之大,销售并不困难。我们已经从8到9个地点找到了方法。来自中东、亚洲、东欧和美国的多个国家都提供了援助。”
然而,聪明的钱仍然在中东,赫恩在那里获得了超过4000万美元的场费,为2019年约书亚与安迪·鲁伊斯在沙特阿拉伯的复赛做宣传。由于座位限制,以及企业仍在受到COVID-19的影响,对巨额场费的需求变得尤为迫切,因为中东国家寻求的是良好的宣传,而不是参会人数。
“这是拳击史上最大的一场比赛,也是世界上最大的体育赛事之一,”赫恩说。“对于一个想要展示自己的国家来说,这将是一场非常非常重大的胜利。”
根据ESPN之前的报道,根据合同,第一场比赛的分成是50-50,第二场比赛的分成是60-40,胜者获得更高的分成。根据计划,两场比赛都将在2021年举行——第一次在6月或7月,再次比赛最好在11月或12月。但是,就在这笔交易的消息传出的几天前,弗瑞对1月份开始的谈判表示失望,他告诉IFL-TV,他已经停止了约书亚的训练,“每天喝多达12品脱”。
赫恩说:“你永远不会真正了解泰森。“这可能是心理游戏。他可能今天过得很糟糕。他可能是有点生气,也可能是在开玩笑。
“这场打斗最吸引人的地方之一就是打斗的过程,因为他们是两个完全不同的角色,两个完全不同的性格。这场心理游戏将会在另一个层面上进行。泰森很擅长这个。安东尼对此很兴奋. ...他非常兴奋,非常专注,自从去年12月库布拉特·普列夫(Kubrat Pulev)比赛以来,他就没有停止过训练。他就像笼中的狮子。建设将是史诗般的。”
Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua sign two-fight deal to unify heavyweight titles
After months of arduous negotiations between competing promoters and rival champions, the contract for a two-fight deal between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua to unify the heavyweight titles has finally been signed.
"We'd like to get a site deal confirmed in the next month," said Eddie Hearn, managing director of Matchroom Sport, Joshua's promoter. "The hard part is always getting everybody to put pen to **. But this was a major effort from all parties to get this over the line. You had rival promoters, rival networks and rival fighters."
Not to mention rival egos, always a factor in boxing. The final signature came Saturday, in a provision of services agreement with signees believed to include Fury and Joshua; Joshua's promoter, Matchroom Boxing; Fury's American promoter, Top Rank; Fury's English promoter, Queensberry; and Fury's management company, Dubai-based MTK.
Real or not: Anthony Joshua-Tyson Fury will crown a new heavyweight icon
Marvelous Marvin Hagler won boxing's greatest prize -- by walking away
Five years on from beating Klitschko, what does Fury's future hold?
With the terms of the deal now set, principals can solicit offers from prospective sites.
A Top Rank source said: "It's pending, finding a site and a date that's acceptable to both (fighters' camps). We have 30 days from the signing, or the deal could go away."
"I actually feel we've done the hard part," Hearn said. "Speaking for myself, Anthony and his team at 258 management [258 MGT], I know how hard we've worked these last couple of months and I just feel that this fight is so big it's not a difficult sell. We've already had approaches from eight or nine sites. The offers have come from multiple countries in the Middle East, from Asia, Eastern Europe and America."
The smart money, however, continues to be on the Middle East, where Hearn secured a site fee in excess of $40 million to promote Joshua's 2019 rematch with Andy Ruiz in Saudi Arabia. The need for a huge site fee becomes particularly acute with seating restrictions and businesses still reeling from COVID-19, as Middle Eastern countries are seeking less in attendance than favorable publicity.
"This is the biggest fight in boxing and one of the biggest sporting events in the world," Hearn said. "It will be a major, major win for a country that wants to showcase itself."
As ESPN previously reported, the contract calls for a 50-50 split in the first fight and 60-40 in the rematch, with the winner taking the higher share. The plan is for both fights to take place in 2021 -- the first in June or July and the rematch ideally in November or December. But news of the deal comes just days after Fury expressed frustration with the negotiations that began back in January, telling IFL-TV that he had ceased training for Joshua and was drinking "up to 12 pints a day."
"You never really know with Tyson," Hearn said. "It could be mind games. He could be having a bad day. He could be a little pissed off. Or he could be having a joke.
"One of the fascinations about this fight will be the buildup because they're two totally different characters, two totally different personalities. The mind games will be on another level for this fight. Tyson is very good at that. Anthony is excited by that. ... He's so pumped, so focused, he hasn't stopped training since the [Kubrat] Pulev fight [in December]. He's like a caged lion. The buildup is going to be epic."
