Tyson Fury vs 46 year old Mariusz Wach

Switched it off once they handed the mic to Spencer and he started the schtick about the big offers Tyson turned down just so he could do it for the kids and Father Ray Foundation, and bring the show to Thailand.

He could have just boxed elsewhere and donated the ****ing purse.

Can’t wait to see how they spin it on Netflix. Fury will come out looking like Gandhi, and I’ve just noticed his six-year-old kid has landed a deal with Superdrug. The family brand never sleeps, Beckham blueprint and all that.

Edit Kid is eight not six.

 

Yeah notice how he’s donating the purse from a fight against a 46 year old in front of 1000 people in Thailand rather than the purse from fighting Makmudhov in front of 60k

 

Exactly, and to the best of my knowledge it’s only the ticket sales being donated.

Again, there’ll be no mention of how many millions Netflix are paying him per season while they film the whole Gandhi arc in the background, probably with Big John walking around in an orange monk outfit just to add a bit of ambience.

 

Fury is 7/2 to win by decision. Could Wach go the distance?

 

Is it an 8 or 10 rounder?

 

10

 

Given tickets were 10,000-15,000 baht, some VIPs at 20,000, and it's sold out, the charities should be expecting a very healthy cheque (circa £500k, less whatever they rinse for expenses).

Word of mouth off Fury's social media should bring a huge influx too.

Though it'll be dwarfed by his last purse, and nothing next to what a Joshua fight pays. Effectively a paid ad for clout.

 

Actually make a good parody boxing, B side fighter on a hiding to nothing fails the medical.

I can see, I CAN SEE......I HAVE LEGS!

 

The RBR thread should be entertaining tomorrow.

 

Truth is stranger than fiction mate.

Guy gets out of jail for manslaughter, and within three years he's promoting the Rumble in the Jungle. Actually got his start in boxing by blagging his way into a charity event as well, where they only received a fraction of what was raised.

Netflix couldn't write it, as no one would believe it.

 

Tickets are still available, it's a shame you are not on one of your regular visits to the area.

Wach looks in shocking shape, came in on 3 weeks notice apparently. The fight is a complete circus.

 

Not surprising tickets are still available, as they’ve priced locals out.

Visited there plenty in my younger single days mate, with an older group from the local pub who mostly live out there now, but you couldn’t pay me to go there now, unless I was visiting people I know or passing through.

Agree though, a circus fit for clowns. Pattaya’s got plenty these days.

 

Oh ok, it just seemed you have advanced knowledge of all the hotspots and currency. As if you had visited many times before that particular area.

There was another poster here, "Soi Six" I wonder if he is going.

 

Well if he is, he'd be right at home.
