    It’s a forum that you bring nothing positive to. You’re obtuse, spikey and condescending in the majority of posts that I see from you.

    I’m aware of my options. I don’t need any advice from you.

    Your absolutely buzzing if you think AJ isn't bringing money to the table

    I give back what I receive. If you're gonna be passive aggressive don't be surprised if you get called out on it.

    You have made an absolute tool of yourself.

    You have tried to have a go at AJ for not bending over at furys will cos you thought that meant the fight won't go ahead. Well it turns out he played it absolutely spot on since his team are now looking over a contract.

    The words were and always have been meaningless.

    His actions resulted in getting a contract offer.

    So why you so mad and having a go.

    You should be praising him for doing what was needed to get a contract offer.

    No you said Fury and Turki
    Indicating AJ brings nothing much

    You even listed his previous few fights as if that highlights it

    Fury tickets were getting chucked around free sites in the lead up to his last fight

    AJ priced himself out of the fights imo, same way Fury tried to against Usyk where it hilariously backfired.

    We can agree to disagree on that though, I think we're once again going around in circles. I just hope as a fan we actually see these fights happen.

    Your point was you were having a go for a fighter doing it for the money.

    Name me one fighter that has boxed throughout his career for free..... One... Go for it.

    Money is the reason they do it not the belts. If fighters didn't get paid but belts existed we wouldn't have a sport, if they got paid but no belts existed we would still have a sport.

    No ifs, no buts thems the facts.

    Turki is bringing the money and Fury to the table. All AJ has to do is sign (maybe add a condition that he gets a tune up for June/July).

    AJ is still a name, no doubt about that, but he's well and truly on the slide and doesn't bring as much as he used to.

    Again, not my point.

    My point was that Fury will fight anyone for the right money, and that AJ is no exception as he does the same thing.

    So would any boxer. Name me one that wouldn't.

    Your making a point that's not exclusive to anyone.

    You have no point.

    As I said you have made fool of yourself.

    You can't have a go at either for fighting for money cos that's the whole point.

    You can't have a go at AJ for doing the wrong thing ringside and putting a potential fight at risk cos it resulted in a contract offer.

    Maybe get some context before posting because you're way off the mark.

    Have to disagree. There's a reason Usyk wants Fury for his swan song instead of AJ, the tide has turned a little since 2020.
