Fury v Chisora Nov 22nd in London

How do you know that Fury will be done with BoxNation. They might offer him another deal.

You use the word 'done' in a negative way. Who else will show Fury and guarantee him lucrative opportunities?

 

Boxnation do PPV for just about all their fights, £30 a pop

He isn't going to grow a profile/ increase his casual fan base (which makes the real money) fighting on a subscription boxing channel which at last count in September had 120k subscribers (400k at all time according to FW in an interview a while ago). His fights would get an easy million on c5 so that'd be a much better move

 

Channel Five are unlikely to offer him regular dates. They have been inconsistent with Mick so far. Maybe that will change now C5 have new owners.

Someone like Fury is gold dust to BoxNation. I'm sure they would try to keep him. Terrestrial TV won't pay Fury the money BoxNation will.

 

It's only a matter of time before Hearn takes Fury, just like he's done/will do with anyone else he wants.

 

What was it? if you can say without getting re-banned

 

Telling the truth about the Fury v Chisora postponement more than 7 days before it was announced.

 

This place does seem overly cautious when it comes to Wawren

 

The man is ridiculously litigious that's why, most uk based boxing forums are the same

 

I assumed ESB had its fingers burnt at some point

 

Fury fights twice or three times a year tops- Channel Five have shown four shows this year already so that should not be an issue.

I worry about Fury's career at this point- he's locked into a contract that he and his team do not seem to like and does not look to be in a good place mentally. You have to wonder if he'd have stayed with Hennessey full time would his outlook be better- sure he'd be fighting in smaller venues but at least he'd be busy. The Boxnation/Fury tie up is rather odd.

 

Id be very surprised if either Derek or Tyson box again this side of 2015.

 

Tyson may knock out a bum as a warm up/ring appearance, but aside from that, I agree.

 

He won't because Frank clearly wants him to fight Chisora and then fight Wlad on Boxnation.

You have to ask yourself if it's actually beneficial for Chisora or Fury to fight each other or to fight fringe contenders until the fight with Wlad materialises. Chisora has been rather quiet recently.

 

have they really got 120k subscribers? That's got to be viable at a basic revenue of 1.2M/month

 

It's nearer 50k I'd imagine. The lack of domestic action shows the channel isn't doing brilliantly.
