dytkos 17,533 Posted October 12, 2019 Report Share Posted October 12, 2019 You Tubers Logan Paul v KSI fighting next month, BJS on the undercard FFS. Over 100 million hits on the fights web site. On PPV, more people will see BJS fight on this card than all his previous fights put together. Money, money, money that's why Fury's getting on the wrestling bandwagon. Promotors coining it in. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Safe to say I would be staying sober at them prices But when you're there you just pay, all part of the night . I get what you're saying, but it's the same with any planned event, concert, fight, whatever. We know we're being ripped off regarding 'refreshment' prices Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whether its because he wont fight proper opponents or his safety first fighting style Fury is not selling tickets,simple.....so i would imagine Arum wants something for his money. However for a man who constantly went on about " cash cows " and pretended to have strong principals to now turn round and demean himself like this...just shows the man for what he is.

Hes trying too convince a totally different audience to come over to Boxing in a country where boxing is at a all time low. The same re the 2 internet fighters. In today's didgital world they producing better numbers than boxing shows in America . Which they trying to tap into by putting BJS on the bill. Again common sense in a Country where the game is on its arse. They not ripping of Boxing fans just using other vehicles to try entice more fans over to Boxing. Simples really .

Said it before that all that was simply borne out of jealousy of AJ/Matchroom. Hearn took a great prospect and maximised his market potential, and made millions for him and the boxer.., whilst a ‘prime’ Fury was fighting for peanuts on the likes of Boxnation. Difference between what AJ did and Fury’s deal is that Hearn took AJ through the levels with the goal of unifying the division. Fury’s/Arum’s objective now seems to be milking it whilst it lasts. I don’t mind the WWE stuff and the nonsense that comes with Fury as long as he’s going to make the big fights. He could’ve had the Wilder rematch, or AJ at Wembley and turned both down. At 31, and with the physique Fury has, I believe he has to take these fights now or we’ll not get the match ups we need to see to prove who’s the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They a bit like football agents and as we seem re Sala they care for no one . Not their player or boxer and def not the fans. Only pound notes. Where do you think those pound notes come from ?...........yes the fans. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
