    Except that the fight has completely lost all luster since very few, be they hardocre fan, casual or MMA fan, think Fury is the best or second best heavy in the world right now.

    Fury has effectively robbed Usyk of his epic victory, and the best thing he could do is retire and petition that the WBC allow Usyk to fight someone else for the WBC belt. A win over Tyson Fury at this point is about equivalent to Lewis' win over Mike Tyson, or Holme's win over Ali.

    Man, Fury is garbage. Usyk, a hard-working gentleman athlete, deserved better.

    He's shot.

    35 is as far as you can take it after a lifetime of cocaine, booze, PED's, obesity, crash weight loss, and a few hard fights.

    Fury was nowhere near as prepared for this last fight as he was for Wilder or will be for Usyk.
    He's an undefeated fighter that beat Wlad, Wilder and everybody he faced. Wilder would most probably KO both Aj and Usyk.

    If he was performing poorly on purpose he wouldn't have thrown elbows out of frustration

    Tyson Fury's UK numbers are pretty solid.

    He did OVER 500,000 PPV buys for the Chisora fight on BT Sport Box Office
    He did OVER 800,000 PPV buys for the Dillian Whye fight on BT Sport Box Office

    Wait until a solid source comes out with the US PPV numbers.

    Doesn't matter I heard he got paid $50 Million upfront.

    Was trending on social media for a while and more.

    Usyk was ready and willing to fight on the 23rd. He never said he wasn't. Belly knew that but I told you all he would try and throw the fight to wriggle out of his day of reckoning but unfortunately for him he forgot to factor in that judges weren't going to let him lose unless he got KO'd or shutout.

    His reputation was already in complete tatters due to his shameless protracted ducking of Usyk but now he doesn't have a single ounce of credibility whatsoever and even going on a 100-0-0 (100 KOs) run against the best the division has to offer for the next 20 years couldn't salvage his reputation

    Tyson Fury numbers are garbage. And don't lie. He never did over 500k. vs Chisora, and never did over 800k. against Whyte.

    They never realize the numbers, and it's a well known fact that the both fight failed to sell any decent PPV. And yeah i vision the Whyte and Chisora fight.

    This numbers comes from Warren, who never show any official source, and BT never released their numbers.
    And he only comes with this bollocks, when Eddie Hearn and few other people revealed the Chisora and Whyte numbers and that they were trash.
    Chisora did less than 300k. and for Whyte was less than 500k.

    Only then Warren was saying, no no they were more than this or that, but he never revealed or proved a single number.

    Fury is a fraud, and this is another proof.

    Both of AJ fights in Saudi breaks records, and both sold more than 1 million PPV.

    This has to be one of the worst excuses ever for not fighting another champion.
    Usyks a foreigner, no one knows him, the champ should be from America or England? Pathetic. So shwarz, pianeta and seferi qualify for a fight but Usyk dont? Fury was also running around telling everyone that he was the lineal champ then so if he had lost hisb lineal title would have gone too.
    I'm not a Joshua fan but if he had done half of what fury has done he would have been vilified but fury fans just dismiss his contradictions and say boxing is all about making money.
    I thought boxing was about the best fighting the best to prove who the top dog is, that's alone generates the interest and money comes along with it.

    I said when this was announced this would do way lower numbers than they were expecting.

    Francis was not a huge ppv draw in the ufc and then you had the added problem of him not fighting for two years so his profile was much smaller than previously.

    I ****ing hate these circuses but theres no way that didnt get at least around the million mark worldwide.
