    So do WWF wrestlers and other characters in entertainment sports, that in this case, happens to actual be real.

    But yeah, you're right - it's sad more people care about the people than the craft.

    If this is a real right and not some paid farce, Tommy should be capable of steaming into Jake Paul, who's not even held a proper shot yet, and knocking him spark out

    But there's so much money involved in this that the legitimacy that's there with say, a British title scrap, which is a proper sporting contest, just isn't there for me... jake paul trains hard, he's a unit, yeah fairplay but he's not a proper boxer yet

    Tommy's resume is shocking too

    Who knows..

    I would be surprised if Fury stops him. He’s looked awful so far.

    Obviously this would be changed now if true. I can't see how the Furys would accept a fixed fight with Tommy Fury losing. They would have too much pride to do that.

    It may be true but if the amount in the envelope is very large, Fury can easily be bought to lose. There are lots of fixed fights going on in boxing. It´s a business.

    My 12 year old sister who has never shown any interest in boxing has asked me to buy this fight.

    I have a feeling this fight will do huge numbers.

    I think you are absolutely right.

    My working colleagues thinks that they are going to get a repeat of the rumble in the jungle :)

    This will do huge numbers. Jake Paul KSI could possibly do even bigger numbers though. That's why I am leaning towards changing my mind and backing Paul over Fury.
