Martin Rogan rejects huge offer to face Tyson Fury

[Final round]

Crazy fight to turn down..

[Craig14]

He due to fight Price. Would Mcdermott be ready for a fight in a month times!

http://boxrec.com/list_bouts.php?human_ ... &cat=boxer Commonwealth fight against him?

I don't think there let Fury near Leapii either he throws too many bombs. It's a no win fight nobodies really heard of him.

The board won't allow Meehan and Botha so struggling to find other commonwealth opponents. Is leapii any good?

He's very raw, even after 30 odd fights and he really hasn't fought anybody. Have a look at his fight against Travis Walker (it's a good brawl)it's on youtube - it basically sums him up

[dewipowell]

I hope Audley doesn't have it and the fight with Rogan can be made. Audley ended BBC and Sky PPV boxing, hopefully he won't end Channel5 too.

I cannot understand why Martin Rogan at 40 has turned what could be his last chance at a title shot against Tyson Fury, it will be a hugely marketable fight with Rogan's crowd pleasing style as he is tough as hell and stunned Matt Skelton a former British, Commonwealth and European champion who challenged Ruslan Chagaev for the WBA world title and Fury's Irish background and cajones as well would easily pack out Kings Hall or Odyssey Arena in Belfast. Looking at from a Commonwealth angle I was going to suggest Bermane Stiverne but he might be in the line to fight the winner of Vitali K-Tomaz Adamek

All depends what this 'huge' offer is?
10k prob doesn't cut it
Danny Williams will take it

[FIGHTFANs]

perze will be a good fight

This just another Hennessy press release, which are usually full of shit anyways so let's not get too carried away.

[crusader]

If the offer was truly generous then "huge" would've been written capitals, but it wasn't, so Hennessy is obviously full of crap.

without knowing what the offer was, its hard for anybody to say this.
Its probably a big payday for Rogan but one which he will easily lose.
Love him or hate him, the only fight out there for the British is Fury v Audley

Cant believe I am agreeing with you, but I am. Bring on Audley and retire him for good.

They'd have to make it about 20 a quid a ticket to sell any (or have a great undercard). Fury-Harrison would stink the joint out more than Fury-Mcdermott 2 and Harrison would throw less punches than Chisoras 5 a round. Terrible match.

I was joking bro.

If it was HUGE and bold would we be talking Money Mayweather purses?

Yep. It's gotta be both for those types of purses.

But if he is defending his British title, there is nobody else out there until Price fights McDermot. I suppose the only other one who i dont hink has been mentioned, is Sam Sexton?

Thanks for the tip I'll be looking out for the glaring clues in purse discussions in the future

Sexton not had a fight since Chisora so I doubt he ready for it.

Micheal Sprott would be a good test. But either way why does he have to defend his British or commonwealth just for the sake of it? Surely he's up there in the European ratings if not someone whose world ranked, and then defend against Price early next year.

Sprott is fighting for the european so wont be fighting Fury

Yeah incredible isn't it.

[leforge]

Talk of Colman Barrett if the fight in Belfast.

[Roars Like Me]

Just a thought, what if Harrsion lays out Fury , he does have technical ability which is something Tyson doesn't have. That would be a horrible back step for the new British heavyweights but it's not beyong the realms of possibility..

He'd have to get over that new phobia of not being able to throw a punch, I really can't believe that this would even be considered, it really would be no win for Fury.

You cant not make a fight on the fear a guy wins who you dont want to.

[nobby_nobbins]

I'd like to see Chisora step in and take it. He should be fit having fought recently.
