Did Fury and Usyk lose millions after Fury's poor showing tonight? You could see Usyk was not happy.

I honestly think Usyk will be happy to get him in the ring, regardless. But yeah, it lost luster.

 

i have zero interest in that fight

 

Saudis have agreed to fund it so it'll still be big, won't be as many PPV's sold though I wouldn't imagine.

 

I don’t think so. Better enjoy the circus. I think we will see a lot more cross over Boxing vs MMA fights in the future.

Hey **** boxing can use some good talent and contenders. Ngannou is a legit Top 10 contender now.

 

Dana has them all locked up in contract so won't happen, the only available ones are the shot retired ones that Jake Paul is beating up on.

 

I would rather see usyk vs francis, usyk can fight for the legitimacy of our sport. otherwise I think i might be done with it.

 

I said before this that if Fury lost, he'd go from being considered great to being "that fat junkie that only beat an old guy and a one dimensional fighter." Now it's gonna be more along the lines of "pfft, big deal, he already lost to an MMA fighter in his first fight." Fight has definitely lost some appeal in many eyes, and Usyk is now likely the favorite to many more people. Rightly so, in my opinion

 

Ngannou knocks out Dubois though I imagine.

 

fat, didn't train, overrated or not, no legit top 10 boxer should ever have a "close fight" with an mma fighter with zero boxing experience. The entire point of the sport of boxing with MMA being around is that boxers are masters at.....boxing.

 

Fury will duck Usyk again after his poor performances in this fight. He will make a stupid excuse not to fight the latter.

 

You're preaching to the choir brother. I said in another thread that this fight reminded me of Zhang's fight against Hrgovic. I had Zhang winning and was disappointed when Hrgovic got his hand raised, but it was such a close fight either way would have been okay, and that's how I felt about this fight.

But, Y'know, Hrgovic and Zhang were both boxers fighting for a mandatory spot in. Fight they earned through years of dedication to the sport. Neither was making their boxing debut, and neither was the Heavyweight champion who got put flat on his ass in a room full of past and present boxing greats. This being close shouldn't be something that could have happened, but damned if it didn't.

 

Fury won't say no to Saudis money, he'll make 200 million over the 2 fights.

 

Look at Furys resume since returning to boxing, the fact he is now making 10s of millions every fight for pretty much beating Wilder (Whos resume is a **** take) is remarkable.. his done well for himself. Has he dodged the best over the years... 100%... but boxing is all about smart business moves at the right time.
