Re: Is Mike Tyson broke again?

A lot of money to turn down We are talking about millions I think Fury's brother got a couple of mill Gosh! Roman, the final cubit zirconia in the Fury crown got a few million for that deep in the undercard fight it looked like he barely trained for? Where have you had that figure from please?

Why wouldn't it be allowed?
Obviously they shouldn't have done it but there's no legal issue.

Re: Is Mike Tyson broke again?

No idea if he is broke or not, I suspect not but I don't know.
This JP nonsense will 100% end in a draw same as the RJJ 'fight' and the way that Exhibitions always used to.
It won't be a professional contest and he will take home what, $50m?

What made her choose BIBA instead of BBBoC?
Is she Australian or from another part of Oceania?

Re: Boxing Gloves

Largely there are only really a couple of things to consider, quality v cheap rubbish and do you prefer round or flat. Adidas for example tend to be quite round, whereas I personally prefer a flatter knuckle. Generally I use Reyes but have had some grants which have a similar profile but are softer ...

Re: Latest dirge from John Fury

I’m far from a Froch fan but I’d be happy to see him box John Fury but ONLY on a winner takes all basis.
John Fury getting a lump of money for taking a kicking or more likely faking an injury is still a win for him.

How do we think that fought would have gone down if Jones had stepped up then instead of 5 years la...
