    If you managed to make it past the half an hour sob story from Hearn and Kugan about the Bernd Bönte issues - you'll of heard Hearn hint that Fury is now a free agent.

    Fury would be massive in the UK if Hearn signed him. He'd make him massive money and the Joshua/Fury fight being in-house would mean it will be easier to make and probably mean a bigger purse for both fighters.

    After all that's been said over the years, do you think Fury would sign with Hearn? I think Hearn would happily sign Fury for what its worth.

    I think he will.
    Fury could have 1 or 2 fights on Sky against White or Parker & build it up even more for Joshua vs Fury. He could make near 100 million fighting on Sky if it went to plan.

    Fish Eyes would go into meltdown, the only reason why he keeps biging Fury up is because he believes he has first dibs on his comeback fight.

    I'd be worried about what Frank would actually do. Would be like something out of the Krays' textbook.

    Frank said in the video the day before that Tyson's fights will be on bt/box nation. Certainly his hoped for return in July.

    I really really doubt it. Fury has shown a lot of disdain for Hearn in the past. Warren has suggested he'll be on the Saunders undercard assuming he gets his license back so everything suggests they'll be working together.

    Fury is very loyal.

    Is a shame as he would be 10x as rich and have a far better profile with Matchroom. That's not me kissing Eddie's arse it's because FW is still stuck in the promotional stoneages. No idea about any of the social media element.

    Frank seems to be sure Tyson will be fighting on BT. At least it's better than fighting exclusively on box nation. Fury is loyal and Frank has backed him throughout his exile so I'd say Fury will go with Frank.

    It's a pity because I'd love to see what Hearn/Sky could do for Fury. With Fury's huge personality and boxing ability he could and should be a huge star.

    Think Tyson would be better with Eddie. Respect his loyalty to Mick, should hire him as his manager or something.

    I think Mick and Frank have a working relationship they where working together for the Klitschko rematch. Probably uses Franks contacts for PR and venues on the larger shows. Love this interview from Mick after the Fury win.

    If Carl froch never went to matchroom his career would of a been a whole lot different. Going to Hearn set him up for life.

    Great video. Mick is actually a very good matchmaker and can spot a boxer but isn't a particularly good promoter.

    Fury can play Warren like a cat with a ball so it makes sense he stays where he can call the shots. Hearn is currently in a position where he doesn't need anyone telling him what to do. So stupid post and Hearns is clever cos he's playing games with Warren.
