Only 7k tickets sold for Fury v Wilder so far!

Lose the fight and you will make three times the amount in a rematch. LMAO....most ******ed logic I've read this week.

 

Once Fury returns home triumphant and is a star/media darling again, hold the rematch in the UK. Aint rocket science lads. Dillian Whyte is a contender, yet is a PPV fighter selling out the 20,000 seat O2. What do you think these 2 could do? 7000 tickets? Try 70,000. The fight should have been in the UK in the first place.

 

Fury a "Star/Media darling AGAIN", When has Fury ever been a star? Or loved and adored by the Media?

The Fury family complained bitterly after Klitschko that Tyson didn't get respect and credit he believed he deserved for his win out in Germany and that has been his best moment in boxing.


While AJ is around Fury won't be loved and adored by the media or British public, far too much ground work done by Team AJ and Matchroom.

 

He returned home after Klitchko the champ and the rematch didn't sell tickets.

 

Was under the impression Americans would love his style as well. Big knock outs. Something like 39 out of 40. Get what your saying tho. Most of the times I hear him he's a bit out there in his interviews. Wasn't sure if it was just slight UK/USA differences.

They,ve kind of kept him fighting nobodies for a bit too long as well. Really thought after Ortiz tho...he,d have broke through and become hot property. Trying to work out what Americans like with their styles....the Mexican style?

Just off the back of canelo being so popular. Is that just because the Mexican population is pretty big...or is it a style thing as well.

Americans even got guys they get behind like a superstar atm? Difficult to see from the UK. Just can't really work out how boxing's not thriving out there. Still making big fights. But in terms of homegrown guys....looks like its really hard to get a fan base out there. Could be wrong tho. Maybe ufc,s took over a bit.

 

Yeah, while Wilder fights tend to be exciting, usually because he's struggling or scoring a huge KO, he doesn't have the most aesthetically pleasing style to watch. Mike Tyson was poised, fast, explosive and dynamic he looked other worldly at times, he looked like he was bred to fight.

Wilder in comparison, is ungainly, he trips over his own feet, he windmills and overbalances, even when dominating he makes every move look ugly, like the jump to the right and right hand bomb vs Stiverne or that combo vs Duhaupas where he was jumping up and down all over the place. He doesn't look like a natural fighter, he looks like he learned to fight in drunken bar fights he's so all over the place at times.

 

When he beats Wilder and becomes the champion of beating mental illness, another champion on foreign soil. The script is already in play. The media will beat Furys drum as they would like to see a mega fight between Fury/Joshua. Fury- Wilder 2 will make a killing in the UK.

 

"The Champion of beating mental illness"

Is that a new title? They make a lot of them now, Diamond, Regular, Super, Silver, all sorts but I've never heard of that one before.


Do you know how many British fighters have won belts on foreign soil?


No, sorry, can't have any of that post my friend.

 

Listen to the post comeback Fury narrative they have been building. Believe it or not, the media have been eating it up, as they always do with human interest stories.

 

Where do you live? UK or USA

I live in the UK and hardly anybody gives a toss about Fury, they really don't care.


What do you mean "believe it or not the media have been eating it up"?

I haven't seen it and I read about boxing most days of the week and nobody I have spoken to has said much about this fight, and if they have the vast majority are saying they are not going to even watch it live.

 

Absolutely very little media coverage of Fury in the UK.

Huge fight in 2 weeks yet out of sight out of mind for the UK public except the day of the presser in the UK with Wilder.

 

three year olds in a sand box are more exciting than Wlad-Fury was.

 

don't let facts get in the way of a good story
