Hughie Fury-Nagy Aguilera - March 26 (Eubank jr undercard)

[ross]

They had top ten ranked fighters agree to fights only to up their financial demands on receiving contracts.

Thats why Calzaghe didnt fight Hopkins in 2003. Hopkins agreed and then asked for 3 times more than the agreed purse.

[Lineal]

So much for Parker or a top ten opponent....

Parker's looking at Takam so there was no chance of it being him. But this is just a water treading fight for Hughie. He should get some rounds in against an experience journeyman.

Hey Ross, any names of the guys that did this?

[Spicoli]

Actually a bit of a step up for him. Nagy is a stubborn nail with awkward shots and honestly think he outworked and beat undefeated Washington and Breazelle last time out. Hughie is 21 and two years in so decent opponent, ignore the inactivity of Nagy and pack a lunch.

[Dark Lord Al]

I think this is comparable to World champion Bernard Hopkins turning down long term belt holder Joe Calzaghe.
It seem obvious to me Hughie Fury will fight anyone at all , I don't understand why top ten rated fighters don't agree to the terms that Fat Mick offers them.
Its a total disgrace for my money , I'm sure every top rated fighter took the fight only to then pull out at the last minute . Thank god for Nagy saving the show.

Fedesov asked for a big purse and when agreed he was sent the co tract then asked for it to be trippled!

Ustinov agreed after Warren had offered him the Hughie fight but then Hyurinov (or however you spell it) stepped in and put a stop to it waiting on a potential Ortiz fight later in the year.

He's repeating Peter Fury's excuses word for word.

Everyone prices themselves out against the kid that has never even headlined a bill.
