    I'm the same, never really liked him but I'm on the train after the Wilder fights.

    My wife's a nurse.

    They have all had Covid, because the PPE we have spent billions on is useless.

    Basically may as well not brought any as they have all caught covid

    To get his mandatory out the way.

    Will get on the blower to Bono to get a charity concert set up for him.

    Exactly, Fury v Kabayel negotiations ended as soon as Fury heard what his purse would be.

    Who on earth has said he hasn't taken a paycut?

    Awesome. This fight has to happen in the UK Covid permitting. Hope both promotions and fighters can come to an arrangement even if it means less revenue.

    It could possibly be the biggest sporting event in the country next year - unless England get to the final of the Euros.

    Exactly. Both Fury and AJ are business men. I don’t care what either of them earn to be honest. Don’t understand people getting uptight about any of it.

    AJ hasn't taken a "pay cut" to keep the sport alive or whatever. That's nonsense.

    His choice is :
    1. Fight for less (still £ millions )
    2. Don't fight at all (purse : £0)

    & the fact that Pulev is mandatory and the fight can happen in lockdown conditions.
    It's a no brainer.

    Fury chose to not fight all because he thinks he'll get a better offer for a fight early next year, AND he doesn't have a mandatory hanging over him now, or for the past year like Joshua has.
    Also, Fury still isn't a proven attraction versus nobodies like Joshua is, so his purse for someone like Kabayel would perhaps be close to nothing (.... and I suspect this folded when they realized guys like Kabayel won't fight for free either !)

    Poor lads.

    Bet you didn't know that Joshua was actually down a food bank giving away a shed load of food. No press, no cameras.
