    Listening to it again, they’ve probably leaked it themselves tbh.

    Pretty sure that's his best mate since he was a child but with that said - I am sure you will get great satisfaction out of this fake website to dedicated to him https://leonskinner.com/

    I haven't listened to the call, but looking at Eddie's reaction on IFL makes me think it was leaked by themselves too. I would have expected Hearn to be furious if this went down for real, but he just smiled and found it all funny?

    Something doesn't add up

    It would make a big lose seeing that Fury cant even sell tickets in a 20k arena in his home town against a bigger well known fighter in Wlad.

    It would give Hearn few giggles seeing it flop or a fighter pull out before it due to an "injury".

    The public has a completely different view of Fury nowadays. His problem in selling tickets might be the fear that lots of travellers will be in attendance and kick off.

    Every boxing event i have been to has had a large element of travellers attend. Also I havent come across or experienced this negative stigma from non travellers towards travellers that the likes of Furys and Saunders claim when they play the victim/race card.

    Fury couldnt sell out the Staples centre recently, if AJ fights Miller at MSG it will sell out through UK fan support that he has.

    Was this a PPL phone call - pay per listen?

    I've seen some horrible levels of discrimination towards gypsies. I've also seen travellers act disgracefully at events - especially amatuer shows.

    I actually remember seeing a really nasty level of division at Khan Barrera wherein clashes between Khan's Asian fan base and right wing northerners seemed particularly odious.

    The public didn't turn out to support Fury in any meanjngful way in the decade he's been a professional boxer.

    He may be slightly more popular than he was. That does not make him popular.

    I've said we don't know how well he'd do as a ticket seller and you've found a way to take issue with it. Quelle ****ing surprise.

    Joey Dawejko is obese and 5ft 10. Miller got a draw with him, so he should have plenty of support in USA.

    Frank Warren would waste Wembley as a venue. He hasn't got the resources, the manpower or the infrastructure to promote an event there.
