Still a prick though 😂 Ah, ok. I don't follow boxing closely enough to know whether he's a prick or not, but he was spot on about that last night. I only really get involved with heavyweight title fights. I must say, I've become a massive fan of Usyk recently. He's fucking brilliant. Would love to see him fight Fury.

Not to sound like a hipster but I liked him before HW but wasn’t sure if he would make the move up. Happy to say I was wrong, massively impressed by him, looking forward to his next fight over AJ and if his next fight is AJ think I’ll be cheering Usyk on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Joshua Fury was the dream fight, but I'm not so sure now. But as I say, I know nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all well and good Edward but if your fighter is getting his clocked cleaned then history won’t be made. Fuck the hype, best two men is what we deserve to see. Setting up a 3 fight contract should be banned, ties up the whole division and robs paying fans of proper boxing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes a mockery of the "competition", but makes fuck-tons of money. Money always wins. I'd even go so far as to say re-matches are ridiculous. You lose, tough shit. That's sport.

Makes a mockery of the "competition", but makes fuck-tons of money. Money always wins. Matchroom which is owned by Barry Hearn and ran by Eddie has just signed a massive tv deal. If you are signed under matchroom you’ll fight under DAZN which is an American tv channel which you pay a monthly subscription to, and if it’s PPV then you pay more for that. Sky and BT are also paying DAZN to be able to show their fights They have it wrapped up. Then if a matchroom fighter fights a top rank fighter (aj vs fury for example) which is Bob arums company, in theory you could have a fight on three PPV channels, DAZN Sky and Showtime and PPV in America is best part £60. The money is huge. They’re all waiting on that next young star to come through and whoever that is is going to get seriously paid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know a lot about gambling but this is the first time Wilder has been the underdog with Vegas in his entire career. Evens is mad in HW boxing especially with Wilders KO record, all it takes is one punch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus he doesn't pay that much. £12.50 is the average. 1.6 x a Casino Catpiss Can = £20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
