He will get loads of money, probably become a millionaire. If this lot had their way, he would be getting 100k for fighting Pulev in a lose-lose situation.

I reckon they might do something with 5. Say the fight live on Sky (probably ppv) then a complete rerun of the fight a week later on Channel 5. Got to be possible surely? Didn't the BBC pick up one of Joe Calzaghes fights and show a rerun the week after or something?

It was just Kugan was asking wrong questions booth practically said as much. I mean I love Ifilm stuff but if I had been in that situation there would have been so many questions I would have asked booth was dying to spill the beans. Never seen it before but I think the interview showed they all like Kugan In boxing world but he will never be taken serious as he gets in good situations but never asked the questions that's matter they look at him in the boxing world as a bit of a joke.

It's a shame really as he has more access than any other reporter I have seen so could ask some great questions if he spent less time trying to be everyone friend. I think that's why he got pissed at end of interview as Tyson was basically saying he is thought of as a joke
I think what I took from that interview was how arrogant and conceited Adam Booth seems.
Not sure it's conceited when he's trying to help him. I think booths point is my time is precious why waste it answering crappy questions. I think if he comes up with a decent interview questions booth would be receptive I mean If you look at a lot of interviews from Ifilm the decent questions only come from James. Kugans too interested in showing he is on the inside with Hearn but what Kugan doesn't realise is that is what hurts him in the interviews as he too busy trying to remember what Hearn has told him not to repeat.

It's a shame really as James is obviously the better interviewer (content wise) but he doesn't get the big interviews as kugan steals the interview and James is left behind the camera.

Shame really as if Kugan spent less time worrying about his friendships and kissing ass and more time thinking what questions the fans would like to ask we might actually get to learn something.
Interpret it how you will.... Thank god Adam Booth is around to advise interviewers how to do their job :roll:

If Booth was so bothered about getting out information, why didn't he volunteer it? Booth turned on your man Kuggan because Fury was making Booth feel uncomfortable IMO.

Re watch that video and in particular Booth's face and body language and honestly tell me Booth doesn't come over as patronising and conceited towards Kuggan....

Yeah but you are forgetting about the history between these two. Booth said in his last interview on Ifilm London before he stopped them that he wouldn't do interviews anymore on Ifilm London due to fact Kugan was more interested in being buddy buddy pals than asking relevant questions.

Plus it shouldn't be upto booth to do someone's job (yes I am aware you are being sarcastic) but seriously your telling me you didn't watch that interview and think god I wish he'd asked him that ? I mean it was a 14 minute interview and you new as much before than you did after the interview

Some people are taking the Booth and Kugan situation too seriously. It's all 'tongue in cheek'. Adam has a dry sense of humour and is merely having friendly banter with Kugan. They clearly get on very well and Booth often winds Kugan up about his interviewing skills.

Fury is a great interviewee - always ready to talk and do a song at the end !

Haye is too much up his own arris, and Price is like an overgrown danger mouse who has had a lobotomy.

Great TV - I am laughing now just remembering his Channel 5 interview where he had a go at the "midget" FM !!

Thats the impression I always get. Booth comes across as pretty arrogant but I think a decent part of that is just his sense of humour like you say Law. He's intentionally just taking the piss a lot of the time. However I dont get the feeling there's any genuine malice behind it.

There's no malice behind it at all, they (Booth and his fighters) all clearly get on.

Fury actually intimidated Booth a little when he related the anecdote regarding Haye disrespecting him when he was a teenager and how consequentially Fury wants to rip his heart out an feed it to Haye :OhYes:

Booth actually looks a little unnerved at that point, which I had never seen previously.

The thing that is scary about Fury is he suddenly switches with no warning or lead up from being incredibly amiable and clownish to deadly serious about wanting to harm someone (in the ring).

Add to that his family 'background' and if this fight happens we might also see Haye rattled in the press conferences for the first ever time too like a Chisora seemed to be vs Fury ...

The rip his heart out comment was pure WWF which is fine for a show but all this best fighter in the world stuff is leaving Tyson in danger of looking a bit of a tit when he's poleaxed in September.

I dont think Booth was intimidated to be honest. He seemed more perplexed and not quite sure what to say than anything lol

This.

I cant fathom out why people think they dont like each other, they are clearly good mates. I talk to my close mates (and vice versa) like this all the time

I didn't think he looked particularly scared to be honest. Fury certainly is a big lad.
