    I don't get where these numbers come from. Fury did like 200k buys on his last big hyped fight for the HW championship of the world, and he gets an 80mil contract?

    Promoter must be investing in the hope that he becomes a huge star.

    Morales and MAB were doing bigger numbers than Fury but would have never seen that kind of money.

    Tyson Fury has always chatted ****. No doubt his mental state at the time, upbringing and personal beliefs have also led him to say some questionable things but, I can't knock the guy for putting together a deal like this.

    He has managed to secure himself and his families future potentially for several generations and fair play to him. This has all come about due to his re-dedication, surrounding himself finally, with the right people and in the main, his own volition.

    The only thing that does worry me is that he loses focus and momentum with him potentially going back to fighting lesser opponents initially whilst already having the reward. For someone with such obvious mental frailties, this could become a huge banana skin. I wish him well

    The amount of Charlie and speed the Fury's have shifted over the years makes 80 million look like pocket money

    Wait guys so if you are in his shoes and in 2018 you say that you don't care about the money... You won't accept a good deal in 2019 just because you don't care about the money? You guys are once again ridiculous.

    Time goes by twas eversuch,
    The days and years they roll on,
    And yet things change for now I've seen,
    An actual semi colon,

    Could this be a turning point,
    I doubt it I confess,
    For still there are some miscreants,
    That swear they could care less, :nono:

    Already travelled over to Donkey the Dosser's manor when he was 50% at best and was robbed blind by Haymon Inc. Have gloves, won't travel Donkey refuses to come to the epicentre of world HW boxing for the rematch because he knows he can't win without his stacked deck (ala Dre). So instead of risking getting robbed blind again fighting on a playing field that is heavily weighted against him, Fury signs a deal with ESPN for 80 million squids (£ not $) and puts himself firmly in the driver's seat. Fury is the master of all he surveys now - the king of the castle, whereas Delusional Donkey the Useless Dosser is nothing more than a lowly peasant begging for his next meal.

    There's news that he donated much of his last purse to Jack Reiss for saving his ass with that bogus count.

    There's absolutely no inconsistency between the original statement and his subsequent actions....

    Also Fury lied about donating his last fee to charity. The guy is the biggest liar in sports. Does anyone believe the BS about eating a wild boar responsible for his failed PED test? The guy is a real gypsy liar TyCON Fury

    Imagine the count he is going to get now in the rematch as he will be the one hosting the show..

    Fury's judges, ref, marketing et al while Donkey just shows up for his robbing like a good boy...

    Shame Donkey got schooled so bad the first time around when it was his show cause they couldn't even give him a robbery win, had to give him a robbery draw lol...

    tyson is the class clown, everyone knew this before his latest bit, should we expect a grounded professional all of a sudden? he builds his image out of whatever you give him, at that precise moment. if you think what tyson says is crap, dont worry, he will argue against the crap he just said tomorrow.
