$120.000.000 offer made for Fury vs Klitschko II on a yacht

Tyson Fury has revealed a billionaire sheikh offered to stage his rematch with Wladimir Klitschko on his private yacht.

He says the Dubai billionaire wanted to charge 120 high-rollers $1million each to see it on board, with no media allowed.

“We’ve had negotiations to have the rematch on a ship,” said the world heavyweight king.

“A sheikh in Dubai, who owned a yacht which he could fit 120 people on, said he could sell 120 tickets at $1m each, so that would have been $120m (£82m).

“He wanted to have an exclusive heavyweight championship of the world title fight with no TV station or reporters, just for those 120 people watching.

“He didn’t say how much I would get, but I probably would have had the biggest half of the $120m, so I was all for it! But I think it’s gone now.”

Fury says Wembley, Dublin’s Croke Park, Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Germany are being considered for the rematch in May or June.

He would prefer to fight at Wembley after dethroning Klitschko in his German stronghold.

 

I want to see a fight on a plane already!!!!!

 

more of fury running at the mouth. the guy is damn near brain dead already, he'll be in the same shape as ali fairly soon.

 

There has been so much talk about supposed mega-fights in Dubai, Arab Emirates and Oman in the last 10 years, financed by rich Arab princes. How many of them have materialized? ZERO! ZILCH!

 

And thank **** for that. A big fight in one of those backward ****holes would be a disgrace.

 

That sheik plays too much Tekken or Street Fighter. He wants a crazy back drop to his fight. They need to do one in a shopping mall, outside an army barracks, and one floating down the Amazon River too. I'd like to see the sheik make them were 'alternate' costumes too. Wlad can dress like a robot and Fury can be in a huge hot dog costume.

 

Dubai a ****hole?? Sorry, but it ****s all over most of the world, even despite their ridiculous laws

 

Only a million per ticket, and 120 of them? That would barely satisfy all the demand solely from the multi-millionaires on this board who'd pay to see Wlad lose up close and personal.

 

This ish be Lost Season 5.

 

Can anyone imagine the ring girls dressed in burkas? Would be a terrible sight!

 

Mcdonalds carpark the venue next on line

 

Floyd vs PAC II at the MGM pool....severely dehydrated Floyd can gulp water anything he wants.

 

:!: thats why there was talk of no media allowed. They want those real ring girls.

 

That's crazy!

Have to add sea sickness to the handicap plus it will be hilarious watching how the movement of the boat adds to Fury's already extreme herky-jerky style.
Vlad would never even take this fight unless the boat were placed in a huge German ring.

Didn't these same Arabs offer Pac-May hundreds of millions to fight there too?
