    If his purse was cut by more than half?????

    Yes....

    He feels the Chisora pull out was staged.....

    And with F-Wank, anything is possible.

    It was common knowledge that the show was losing big bucks, and by Chisora pulling out, it saved F-Wank no less than 800K USD.

    Then suddenly Fury starts spouting his mouth and F-Wank says he's got Ustinov to take Chisoras place, but as ALWAYS, the purses are rumored but UNDISCLOSED.

    Let's see if Fury makes a decent fight vs someone like Perez or Chagaev next.......someone not accosciated with F-Wank or K2 whom he seems to distrust.

    If he does, it'll confirm, at least in my mind that he's not afraid to fgiht the best, but rather just wasnt to get ripped off or set up. This is 3 in a row for him. Bad luck. Bad luck. Bad luck???????:huh:huh:huh

    Fury had an offer on the table to fight Pulev for the #1 mandatory position for the HW title of the world. That's what I'd call 'fighting the best'. Fury passed. He ducked Pulev and expressed zero interest in becoming mandatory for Wlad's HW title.

    Fury is a fraud.

    Now that Pulev was mentioned, I am convinced Fury is afraid of big guys. Money aside, Ustinov only lost once, and is a very credible opponent. If you consider how Tyson was inactive and basically wasting the prime of his career, taking the fight makes a lot of sense.
    As for Perez and Chagaev, have you noy seen their last fights? Chagaev is done, he is beyond shot despite winning the wba trinket. Perez is a slow fat slob that spent 6 rounds imitating the mating dance of sea lions in the middle of the ring with an opponent that couldn't get of of the way of punches. I was praising these guys before but their last performances were abysmal.
    Ps: both Perez and Chagaev are 6'1.5, a Lot smaller than Fury.

    if the card was losing money, it's because fury isn't the draw he thinks he is. he has never fought an opponent who was dangerous. yet he has still been in loads of trouble on more than one occasion. if ward needs to realise he isn't a star, then what room does fury have to expect big paydays?

    Exactly. I was disappointed that Fury passed on Ustinov on fight day.

    But ppl saying he only fights opponents he knows he can beat is unfair.
    You can say the same about other HW contenders.

    For example - DW :deal
