I know,unreal! In any situation in life anyone with a brain would not bring someone to the table who offers absolutely nothing,and thats what this clown brings to boxing/mma imo,nothing Personally i think any fighter or promoter entertaining the Paul bros are making total c***s of themselves 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’d say Tommy Fury is absolutely sickened, he got injured, if he got injured….actually think it would be good for boxing if Tommy fought him and flattened him…the views it would attract on social sites would be unreal…..it’s amazing the amount of young lads and ladies who aspire to be like them…..Social media had unreal power now…..

Might be way off the mark but I think his bouts so far have been fixed tbh To me especially in the Woodley 2 fight,Woodley just didnt fall right imo All this guy brings is a novelty act,to be truthful we all know there is young upstarts fighting in York Hall who would flatten Paul,like i say i could be way way off but I reckon hes paid all his opponents,he already has a fortune from social media and his talk has gained big interest from people who otherwise wouldlnt buy a boxing show,other than a bit of a payday,he offers nothing at all to a true competitor 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dytkos 17,533 Posted January 3, 2022 Report Share Posted January 3, 2022 They bring millions of YouTubers to view the sport of boxing. Not sure that's a good thing tbh Cheers, D. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 29,610 Posted January 4, 2022 Report Share Posted January 4, 2022 (edited) My issue is in sports that have governing bodies to stop shit like this,its still happening......what are governing bodies there for if not to protect the sport from exploitation !!
