    I’d say he’s 21, didn’t have many amateur fights, plenty of learning to do but plenty of time to do it.

    Look how much Conor Benn has improved.

    Does he look like world champion material right now? No. Could he be in 5 or so years? Who knows...

    He’s making far more money out of Instagram than boxing but sticking with it so fair play. He has 3.2m followers, so will be paid a fortune for every ad etc.

    I actually watch Love Island and out of interest sometimes check out what the people are doing on IG these days. A lot of them become extremely successful, far more so than getting a grand or so for appearances. The smart ones use their Love Island exposure to springboard business ventures and other careers and have gone on to become millionaires.

    Some have done well for all the wrong reasons like one slag Megan Barton Hanson who has become a multi-millionaire from Only Fans and was bragging in the papers about how she bought a house purely from Only Fans income.

    Anyway Re Tommy Fury, he should get that Jake Paul fight made as soon as possible. Like it or not, that's a "massive" fight that would do comparatively huge PPV numbers for what are essentially IG boxers.

    Ethically, I don't see what's worse about doing OF, over affiliate marketing and brand partnerships. You could argue that the latter is easily less ethical. You're literally lying to your audience purely for monetary gain. Of course, Barton does both.

    I would also substitute "successful" with "financial wealth". That's not my idea of successful, but I understand that I'm in the minority in this Western capitalist society.

    Yeah both comments are fair enough. With Only Fans my disgust is more geared towards the simpletons who pay for subscriptions.

    I only heard about only fans the other day. Thought about making my own channel- camera on my lower half as I’m engaging in some hand to gland combat before firing one out and spider manning it into my curtains.
    Reckon I will get any subscribers?

    (Doesn’t have to be into my curtains by the way can be into anything really ie bedsheets, towels, wife’s dinner, cats face etc I’m pretty flexible)

    That only fans thing really baffles me. I don't understand why people pay and subscribe to see some naked pictures and x-rated videos. It's the internet, there's a whole world of free porn out there to last them an entire lifetime. Or so I'm told anyway.

    Me too, I think it's truly bizarre. 2's out of 10 are getting money for sharing some semi nude and nude pics, in turn people are becoming lazy with life and although it's only a small percentage now things like this grow. Take selfies for example, when you actually think about it they're ridiculous, why the hell are millions of people taking multiple pictures of themselves and posting them online and why are people liking them? If I was found taking pictures of myself with a Polaroid back in the 90s I'd have been off for psychiatric testing. Anyway, enjoy Onlyfans at its finest....... https://onlyfans.com/loracakesbbwfree

    Well the Fury's seem to really want a fight with Jake Paul..

    It really has come to this, it's happening, YouTuber Vs Love Island.



    PPV Baby.

    I think the difference with onlyfans and porn is that the onlyfans girls are usually localish and therefore seem “attainable” whereas if your having a tommy the tank to porn you know you’re never getting near that bird. Dunno, just a theory. There was a girl that I went to school with that I always thought was fit but never got there started one, and her images quickly got sent round the group chat from the lads I’m still in touch with. Can’t imagine anyone local would want to go out with her now though, seeing as have of the town has seen her axe wound - couldn’t imagine having a pint with my mates and they’ve all knocked one out over my Mrs’ onlyfans page!

    He can make a fair bit of money if he fights that youtube guy.

    Do you reckon Tommy Fury would make more money beating off on Onlyfans than he does beating up Latvian Scaffolders?

    He won’t go very far I would be very surprised if he wins a British title , after the money and fame he has got and probably still making from his reality tv career do you really think he has it in him to get to the top ? I’d say slim to none!

    no dis respect to John Fury but from what I gather he is his main trainer now and that will definitely hold him back ! I’ve seen personal trainers in pure gym with better pad work than big John !!!
