Fury v Chisora airing on Channel 5

[keithmoonhangover]

This is good news and also good it's Tyson Fury as his name does draw attention, as Bomber said if the promoter/TV people do a good job this could draw a lot of viewers

All they've got to do is put a microphone in front of Fury, that'll sell the fight.

[maverick23]

If it gets as advitised right then I think they'll get over 1 million viewing figures! All about the job the TV and the Promoter does from here on out!! This could be massive for boxing it really could! Great news IMO

Agreed

Both fighters have stories that the press can play on. Chisora has is cancelled fight against Wladimir and also got a fair bit of coverage over domestic abuse. Fury on the other hand had a lot of press over his dad and gypsy heritage.

As Bomber says there is no reason this couldn't get 1m viewers at least.

1M would be impressive it all depends on whre they advertise it. Many people i know dont watch channel 5 including myself.

But you would if they had the fight on - esp for free. I reckon it cld easily do 1m.

Because I am fan you need to appeal to casual viewers. How many can they attract for example how well does the football do on channel 5?

[sendo]

Great news, hope the fight does well.

It looks like it's on PPV in the States - how bizzare.

This from Fightnews:


Chisora-Fury on PPV


Integrated Sports announced today that it will be distributing “The Big Brawl” featuring unbeaten British heavyweights Dereck “Del Boy” Chisora and 6’ 9” Irish giant Tyson Fury, live July 23 from Wembley Arena in London. “The Big Brawl,” presented by Hennessy Sports, will be distributed in the United States by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 3 PM/ET – 12 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, and Avail-TVN.

I wonder who the commentary/studio team would be?

I can see Steve Bunce turning up.

[Alba]

anyone else confirm this ? Other than FW's comments were else is mentioned ...

[craigpanther]

As far as I know 5 dont get major ratings so if the fight pulls in a large audience it may persuade them to get fights on in the future, if that is the case or if its a one-off, it can only be seen as step in the right direction in my opinion.

It would be unwise to get the press to play on the story of Fury's dad!

[funso banjo baby]

this would be a great development

hope its true

[Newport Daz]

One thing that no-one's picked up on - According to FW in his column, Froch is not good enough to beat BHop, yet he claims Cleverley who's not faced one close to elite fighter IS going to beat him. Frank calls bullshit on Eddie Hearn, I call bigger bullshit on Frank W. I suspect Cleverley will be kept well away from BHop and Bomber will get the job. Slightly more realistic if you ask me.

[n1ebf]

Is this true then?

Dont read that particular column as someone as stated above its just a platform for Mr W to slag off fighters who have left his stable, going up against one of his stable, or other promoters.

x3

where's the emoticon (little yellow fellow on the left of the page) doing the jacking off motion?

read thet column once or twice and that's all it was. Total bile.

[Alba]

still not reported elsewhere thought maybe boxrec might have had something on it.

But with a name like TYSON it will always make casual sports fans take note, his name is a promoters dream.

...yeah and for ten fights he got intro'd to the ring and then officially announced as "TOY-SON" by that Yank MC on ITV4....used to grate on me that did!

Thomas Treiber is the Chicago based MC in question mate. As for Tyson Fury, he is young, built like the preverbal outdoor khazi and is a good talker and critically (so far) has backed up in the ring and I will be interested to see if the Fury Derek Chisora is on Channel 5.

[n1ebf]

Fury can't crack an egg and he has stamina issues. I like him more than Chisora who comes across like a whispering, smirking muppet, but at least with Chisora you know he can actually fight. I think Chisora will beat Fury up and stop him convincingly and people will wonder why it was ever billed as a close fight.

[TheCobra]

Great news if this happens, if boxing gets back on mainstream tv then it is going to be big for the sport.

How has he stamina problems? Try ten threes with Big John on form when probably about 50% of your potential condition. Has Paul Edwards now developed these stamina problems?

[iwz678]

great news to have such a big fight on terrestrial, however not confirmed yet and i'm not holding my breath.

would be great if it was a sign of things to come however

Fury will get beat. He was falling asleep on Mcdermott's shoulders in the first fight and it wasn't so long ago and he was banging on like a world beater then...Plus Chisora showed that he gets people who don't have stamina out of there - see Sexton.
Believe me, there is only one winner in this fight and it's not Fury.
If Fury achieves anything of note above domestic level it will say more about the dearth of talent than Fury's abilities.
And once Del Boy's had him it will be a lot harder to talk about Fantasy World title match-ups......Price, Chisora....that's 2 fighters from his own country that would beat him comfortably.
But I do like to listen to the man he is an excellent speaker!

haha...I always liked that Stacey lass. Read the comments at the bottom of the pics somebody says "nice to see a British girl with a body that isn't covered in meaningless squiggles" ...fully agree.

Think Fury might be seen to be repeating that pose on July 23rd of him falling into the pool.

[Hardcase]

Fury is going to smash Chisora
