    Does anybody know what type of deal this is?
    Would it be better for tv companies to have a fight by fight
    deal so for instance they could have insisted on the Price fight now?
    This fight would do great viewing figures and the only problem i could
    see would be the security needed for the inevitable crowd trouble.

    Tyson Fury is under contract to leave himself open for a big right hand. He must then pretend to be hurt and respond by stopping his opponent instantly. If he's goes down convincingly there will be a bonus.

    Tell me about it. Fury's fans are total scum. Their the ones who were shouting out like yobs during Fraziers minute silence. I cant imagine what they will be like if Fury loses. Or even worse, what if he had fought Price in Liverpool. Can you imagine Fury's crowd and the scousers going at it.

    Sousers v Pikeys and Liverpool v Manchester! That would be better than the main event :rofl

    I was at the Pajkic fight. The reason people weren't quiet during the silence was because hardly anyone knew what was happening. We couldn't hear the ten bells.

    The truth is, Fury actually had very few fans at that fight. There seems to be a myth around that Fury has an army of raging gypsies causing trouble wherever they go. Other than a couple of his family members getting a bit anxious and jumping around when he got knocked down, there was **** all trouble there. I didn't even know about any of this until I came onto ESB the next day to see all the posts moaning about all this so called 'trouble'.

    Ok guys i take back what i said. Its just the way it looked on tv

    I am actually a Fury fan and i think he can be good. He just needs to work on that defense and his conditioning. People say it all the time but he never seems to change. But in all fairness he does keep winning and hes beaten 4 unbeaten fighters in his last 6 fights.

    The small print says they will assist him in ducking any fight to ensure he fights a knockdown fight with a European which results in a poor stoppage.

    In all fairness mate I was joking. AFter the fight and everyone was complaining about the 'trouble' a bunch of people like yourself explained it wasnt that way and I trust what people who were there said over a camera view of about 10 of Tysons family members

    I dont think the viewing figures would be great. Its a domestic fight against someone very few casuals and no general public have heard of. Cant blame them for letting it pass getting a filler and then going after Audley which would do great numbers.

    Better they fight when the are well known all over the world and are ranked in the top ten, then they will both make lots of big money and the fans will get a treat!!!

    Price Fury can wait a little longer. Fury Harrison would be good to get attention for the sport. Fury should stick to 1 trainer so he can work on improvements. Fury has a lot of time to improve but he needs to work hard.

  15. I'm not sure Fury vs Harrison would be good for the sport personally.

    Audley just stinks the joint out, and Fury doesn't punch hard enough to lay him out with one punch.... so it'll be a bore.

    Fury will be a bit timid incase Audley does actually let his left hand go, and Audley will be timid because.... he's timid.

    Really we should get Price vs Fury immediately. One is the champ and the other is mandatory, there's the rivalry there between them, Liverpool vs Manchester too, all adds up to a good event.
