    Came across this what do you reckon to this?

    We started this in February 2016. There were meetings, lots and lots of meetings, at the US embassy. We got through it. But then when I arrived in America they
    [the immigration officers] took me away to a
    back room. Asked a lot of questions and I was strip-searched.
    "Why? I don't really know. I don't have any criminal record but I still struggled to get the visa. They said they thought I looked a shady character.
    "There was some talk of what went off when I went to see one of Wilder's fights in New York and that I might cause a riot.
    "As we all know, these people have the right to do whatever they want. If they say it's Tuesday, it's Tuesday. Fight could have been off. That would have been nice.
    But after more than four hours they let me in."
    Now able to fight in the USA, Tyson Fury sees himself boxing in America rather than in the UK.
    "After I win the WBC belt I will be staying here. You won't see me fighting in England again. You heard it here first," added the 30-year-old.
    "Once I beat Wilder I will be the next big pay-per-view star in America, the land of opportunity.

    Butterbean has more chance of becoming a PPV star.

    So he’s saying the only way the fight with Joshua happens is if it’s in the USA, that is seriously bizarre.

    If he does win (highly doubtful this manic depressive inactive for 2.5 years, hasn't fought anyone with a pulse for 3 years shell of him does) the US audience will just be wondering to themselves who the guy he beat was.

    If they can market Conor McGregor and milk his dumb and drunk imbecile fans, I'm sure they can package Fury to the same masses too.

    Fury has been so successful in the UK, he simply outgrew the stadiums and PPV revenue potential and its logical he has to move on to bigger and better things in the US.

    He will definitely be on Dancing with the Stars. Can't get any bigger than that, especially if he wins.
    Unless the marries a Karsashian. That would be huge.

    It won't happen, bottom line is that Fury has the wrong charisma. Plus he just plain ugly.

    Regardless of being a PPV star he’s absolutely right to wanna fight in America,imo that’s where AJ has it wrong,like Lennox said the history of HW boxing in Vegas should make you wanna fight there.
    To be honest the PPV psy Op thing is lost on me,I’d swear there’s a group of fans who seem to be more wrapped up in PPV figures and earnings than the actual sport itself.
    Given how PPV is on its knees in boxing wouldn’t it better if we could get these big fights on free view as the figures from fights such as Thurman v Porter showed that boxing is still very much a well watched sport so long as the public don’t have to pay silly money for it.

    If Floyd can be a PPV star then even Fury can with his style.
