Fury wanting 80/20 split!

[lillywhite14]

All relative though Columbo mate, I wouldn't fancy that lifestyle to be honest! Not for me

[Parson Cross]

Since you mention it Palooka Rhodes is working full time so is his wife because they have bills to pay and kids to take care of. Such a lot of bollocks spouted about what fighters earn and purses in general.

Yeah true. I do remember about 10 years ago though a group of travellers parked up on this field near me. You had to walk past it to walk in an alley to get through to gillingham. Anyway, there was human shit on the floor! It was fornicating digusting. Seriously.

I have to admit that i was never under the impression that a lot of fighters, retired, etc are living some kind of high life! I remember having a brief chat with Jamie Moore on twitter and he was saying how the sky work and a bit of personal training on the side helps him pay the bills and how his missus worked full time which if she didnt he would be in big trouble.

I never said that Rhodes doesn't have bills to pay, most of us do. I read an interview with him that he'd done well in the first phase of his career and bought a hairdressing/beauty salon that his wife ran; this had kept them going through the lean period when he lost and had to really think about things and start again. I imagine that a successful boxer such as Rhodes; (title class, televised bouts, generally speaking the 'home' fighter) has earned a fair whack. I understand that he has worked very hard for it; most professional sports people do; Fury works hard for his money too I'd have thought.

Fury has a fairly wealthy family with land holdings and his wifes' family are not short of money either. I imagine that a big heavyweight bout such as he is angling for will pay very well; not in the Floyd Mayweather bracket but very well compared to the average working man. Fury is a young man and would no doubt want to do something with his time after boxing. His ring earnings would surely allow him time and space to consider what he wanted to do rather than having to take the first thing that came up.

That was my intended point.

Only a very small proportion of people get to live the high life; the point I was trying to make was that if Fury can wrangle a high profile bout against a big name then; particularly Haye, which would be a PPV event; he would earn enough to be able to not worry about bills for some time; enough time to have a good think about what he was good at, what he was interested in and what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He must have earned enough to buy his family home outright by now - which puts him in front of 99% of people his age. I wasn't trying to imply that he'd have enough to have champagne breakfasts every morning or decamp to Monaco and to be honest what I've described IS the high life and unimagible to most people who struggle through.

From the Medway towns, huh? Gutted mate. Do you tilt your cap up on your head, have a Stella on the go at 11:00 and tuck your tracksuit bottoms into your socks? Do you have a whale sized girlfriend in a Velour tracksuit with her hair up in a scrunchie and an articulated gold clown necklace? Do you have a malnourished baby daughter called... Beyonce? Do you have webbed feet?

Not me personally but have known people exactly like that!

[Final round]

Fury does not deserve 50%. Haye gets slagged off but that is a very fair offer.
That must scream confidence to team Fury though

[CiganoBoxer]

A lot of travellers I know do ok financially, well, relatively speaking. Lack of mortgage is a big help in this regard.

and taxes.....

What you trying to say i dont pay tax ?
I bet i have paid more in tax than a sap like u ever will signing on

Never mind that; what about that program last night? Who the hell is Joe Joyce, he is the scariest old man alive.

That's the posh Medway clientele!

Yeah that's the middle class

[NazNaci1]

I said it before, Hennessey will never take this fight. For the sake of a few million and 'cash in', it just wont happen.

Fury will fight no names and no one threatening until he picks up a title. Then it will be a few defences fighting tomato cans, all the while making much more money than, in the long run, what Haye and a loss would give.

No brainer, really. This fight wont happen and its down to Hennessey and Fury.

[SamWise72]

Of course Fury is not going to fight Haye - he can't box, and he got rung by a cruiser in his last bout - he and his handlers know he would lose. They might have kidded themselves he'd beat Pulev (actually even less chance) but evidently they didn't. I would have thought at Oquendo fight is much more likely, and is very representative of the sort of fights he takes, and the level that he's ACTUALLY at. He'll make it an exciting fight because he's brave and not very good, so I'll watch. He'll fight guys at that level til he loses or lines up a title shot, which he will also lose.

[lefty]

I spoke to a member of his family last night. They said the 80-20 was a 'winner takes all' Twitter jibe and that if the fight happens it won't be down to their side. I think it'll happen.

Fair enough Terry

I'm pretty certain Haye would bite Fury's hand off for a split like that!

[Parson Cross]

Aaaah memories of De Gale, Groves Tel.
The smug James putting the bet on the table, George thinking fornicate I can't do that, then David whispering "I'll cover it"".
Never did pay up the tosser.

[Wrists]

The fight will happen. All this bollocks is keeping everyone interested, jobs a piece of piss.

The fight will 100% happen, and when it does Haye cleans Fury's clock inside 4 rounds.

So do you imagine no more big fights for Chisora?

[broomy7s]

I'm surprised at how many people actually believe the 80/20 tweets. I think the hold up will be tv. Channel 5 have been building Fury up and won't be happy him fighting on sky ppv.

[Parson Cross]

I'm good Terry and enjoying being a fan.
God bless Robert Smith for banning the bet !
My tongue was firmly in the cheek mate - we need characters like James.

[observer1]

80/20 split?

In other words he's not really interested.

[Hagler2002]

God there's some gullible MUGS on this thread.

Does anybody want to buy some magic beans!!!
