    Hearn does his press conferences at Premier Inns.

    Big Frank does his from state of the art studios!

    Have you any clue how BT are performing as a company? It’s scary! So be careful how much you big them up.

    Hope they do give Sky a run for their money but something tells me they haven’t got a chance the way things have gone recently with their company. Google them and read on it’s public knowledge.

    With all due respect, I don’t need to read up on BTs business performance. As I said, I’m impressed by their presentation and production levels from what I’ve seen. If they keep up with what their doing and use their significant resources then I think the PPV will do well for them..it’s really that simple.

    These two are World Champion and former world champion. 90% of the press conference was about Joshua. They should really be able to sell it between them without mentioning him every other sentence.

    Was a venue announced yet?

    Fans conditioned to think and speak like accountant-promoters now, Christ.

    Who gives a toss how much the lights cost and whether BT can afford them, this is one of the greatest heavyweight matchups in twenty years, try and enjoy it mate.

    Watched today's American presser. Fury was gold. There's no competition for him in a press conference. He's a madman, and a natural performer. Danced before coming on stage, strutted around like a stand up comedian, issued threats, danced some more, embarrassed Wilder many times. Wilder is trying too hard, Fury would happily stay up there all day and act the clown. It's hilarious.

    I think even the haters will look back on Fury when he's gone and miss the madness and entertainment he brings to the heavyweight scene.

    Another brilliant press conference. Tyson just hijacks the presser, grabs the Mic and does his 30 minute stand up show. Brendan Schaub tried his best to stay unbiased but in the end, he might as well have got on his knees and kissed Tyson's feet. Brilliant the world is seeing the real Tyson Fury. He used to enjoy playing the pantomine villain but I knew he was always a great guy. He's finally showing that, and what a stage to show it. Live on American primetime tv. He's gonna be huge in the states. They interviewed Wilder for two minutes after, Tyson for ten and he said some great things about mental health.

    Wilder lost his s.h.i.t. for real at the end. Tyson got to him. Warren went down which was hilarious. Hopefully Franky didn't break a hip. Great exposure for the gypsy king as I say. Underappreciated in his own country, I think he'll be a big hit in the states. And before anyone bangs on about his style, look at Floyd Mayweather. If you can talk the talk in America and keep the wins coming, you'll be a success.

    Absolutely. It's their loss. A character like Tyson comes around once in a lifetime. McGregor hasn't a patch on him in a press conference. Savour every minute.

    As a huge Fury fan, I'm absolutely buzzing. There were times I didn't think he was coming back. Times I thought the haters would always have a frail but consistent argument that he was a one hit wonder, and that the controversial comments he made would overshadow the hilarious things he said.

    But the man has come back reborn. Calmer than before and as funny as ever. He's coming across brilliantly this week and I'm delighted for him. He's found happiness, and finally getting the exposure his character and skills deserve.

    Just has to get the W now. I believe he'll do it!
