    The anti-Fury brigade in the RBR have scored the fight for Wallin, so passing out and logging off is probably for the best.

    How do you know that they were given away? Do you work for Bob Arum or the venue?

    Nevada State Athletic Commission will release the figures this week so we will know 100% if they actually sold 1500 tickets or not.

    I haven't watched the fight yet so maybe shouldn't comment, but people saying it's looked like furys skill is waning maybe, however he's always been a bit of an enigma and had it in him to blow hot and cold, yes he was elusive and awkward in the klit and wilder fights won without exactly being dominant, he was great in the second chisora fight, but there have always been the getting dropped by pavjik, cunning ham, arguably losing to mcdermott the first time. He's not mayweather he has skills and his awkward but he's always had it in him to struggle and look bad too. I'm not meaning to knock him as he always comes through just maybe we shouldn't be shocked if he doesn't always put on a polished performance

    I've always assumed you're a grown man but when you log onto the internet and make things up, I'm really not so sure. Have you no self awareness? Fury has a difficult fight that he clearly won with his vision impaired by a bad cut and you come on questioning everything about the man from tickets sales to punch power. We're talking about an undefeated, 12 year veteran of the sport who has beaten the best and won every belt out there and you're wondering whether or not his punch power will hinder his career? What a wally you are Tony. Seriously!!

    Would love to know how many buys this did?

    Think it is so short sighted having these ones on PPV. Totally killed any momentum he had after Wilder

    You’re getting a bit wound up here mate. I understand that you’re quite emotionally invested in Tyson, and it must be annoying when you want to believe he’s this ‘conquered America superstar’ but he’s only selling two thousand tickets and people are literally turning down free tickets to his fights. But there’s no need to make stuff up. If the venue looked pretty full to you I’m pretty certain you need your eyes tested.

    These fights feel short sighted full stop. The cut puts Fury out of action for ages. But a cut in a fight against someone like Whyte or Parker in a win would at least get people interested. What’s the point of these fights? Barely anyone watches them.

    Fury still sold more ESPN+ subscriptions than Eddie has sold for DAZN with all his fights, so calm down Anthony

    Just playing Devil's Advocate here but has Fury fought the best of the best? An ageing Klitschko and a still unproven Wilder.

    So why do you keeping making stuff up then? "Conquered American superstar", you literally just made that up.

    There were almost 9000 people in attendance and you haven't got the slightest idea how any one of them acquired a ticket. Yet you're on here, making things up about ticket sales because you're so hurt about the fact a man you hate is the no.1 heavyweight on the planet.

    I actually had it a draw myself and I'm a big Fury fan funnily enough. The official scorecards were ridiculous I thought. Glad Wallin proved that he is decent though after being poorly promoted his whole career. He's always been a decent top 20 fighter at the very least who's just needed an opportunity to prove himself, but as usual people haven't bothered to watch Wallin fight, they just go off his record on Boxrec and if there's no recognisable wins on his record, he can't be any good.

    Guess we won't be seeing Fury in action for a while unfortunately.

    If you can name any better active heavyweights than those two, work away. He also signed to fight Haye twice.

    One thing that you can't question about Fury though is his heart. To fight with that card for most of the fight and grind out a win rightly or wrongly shows that he has the fight of a true champion. Well done to Fury on that.

    I know AJ has just lost but he has the best resume at heavyweight and im not even sure that can be argued.
