Predictable but entertaining Fury / Chisora Press conference

[tobyh5]

IFL TV have footage of the press conference for the Derek Chisora v Tyson Fury rematch with a lot of bad language, side bets, mouthing off and all the stuff you expect from Fury.

It is predictable but I did chuckle at some of it.

Was going to post about it.

Was a bit funny in parts but really cringe worthy later on.

Tyson isn't doing himself any favours here he can be a sound guy at times but as I've said he clearly has mental issues and when he suffers his first defeat especially if he gets sparked I'd fear for him.

Still think this is a good fight though but all these pressers and head to heads are Going OTT

Poor old Jimmy Rosenthal must be wondering where it all went wrong......

"I should be Rio, sat on a nice sofa or beach front studio and talking to the nation about Messi and Neur and then going on for a nice meal with Martin and Gordon. But here I am stuck behind a trestle table with these two pillocks ranting away and getting paid a bloody pittance."

Always liked Jim and despite being ancient he's still better than Adrian Chiles!

The only man on that stage with any class at all. In fact, he has plenty of it.

I get the impression Fury is struggling to get up for this and trying to work himself up with these little outbursts.

I haven't watched to the end yet but (and I don't mean to spoil it) a 100k bet appears to have been put on between both fighters.

They shook on it but where's Chisora getting £100k from.. Fury's comments were brilliant spend more on fish and chips haha

[Parson Cross]

The Board won't allow it.

[jameswilson]

The Board won't allow it.

I was gonna say that. Surely both guys know that.

[expe]

The Board won't allow it.

If they really wanted to do it, highly doubt that either is too interested in putting £100k up anyway, I don't think the board could do anything. I see very little stopping the loser paying the winner the money after the fight, based on a handshake agreement.

[daviddee]

The board have nothing to do with what they bet privately.. Chisora lost a fair chunk in a bet to Haye.. I'm sure Haye said in a interview that he paid it.. Seems a man of his word just don't see where he gets £100k from prob be getting maximum £40 k for the fight

[Glass Joe]

Guys the whole conference was all staged to generate tickets sales and talk. We have had 20 press conferences between these two guys and its unusual to have a press conference almost 2 weeks before the fight.

Chisora's got more money than Fury.

[daviddee]

No chance you seen what Tyson drives.. These boys are loaded.. A lot of travellers have no national insurance number.. Some not even a record of birth. Everything they earn they keep. The families save for generations. Fury doesn't need the money in boxing unless it's a life changing amount why do you think he acts the way he does

How do you come up with the figure of 40k, Dave?

[daviddee]

Just a educated estimate of what these purses are

[Glass Joe]

No way is Chisora only getting 40k, if i had to have a guess i would probably say 160k each.

[Taansend]

Just a educated estimate of what these purses are

But what are you basing on? I'd be shocked if he's getting under 100k. A main event heavyweight contender only getting 40k is unrealistic.

I couldn't watch more than 5 minutes of that fcuking press conference, its a fcuking good job I wasnt there be cause I would have smashed those fcuking cameras over those bastards heads, all I could fcuking hear was click click fcuking click. Like sat in a cinema and the big bastard sat if front of you chewing pop corn and farting. Honest to god im fcuking so angry that I could throw my mug of coffee through the damn window. Fkcu me how many photos did those pudenda want? Click click fornicating click, ARGGHHHH!!!!

£15-£25k for EBU title added on £15k because heavyweight headline. Maybe get a bit more if it sells out = to ticket sales. However more reasons.. No matter what Chisora says Fury is the bigger name and no way he would fight for less than Chisora or even the same.. With 17 fights on the cards and in your opinion paying both above £100k how doze that make any sense Frank would lose money hand over foot.. Even paying £40k with the ticket sales the way they are he's gonna lose money.. allegedly subscriptions may go up a few thousand .. I can see Chisora on a Maximum £40k and Fury a bit more

Again I'll make the point I'm not an expert at all on purses but the heavyweights do earn pretty big bucks. I'v heard that Michael Sprott got 40k euros for fighting Helenius.

[handsofstone]

Ive not watched it yet but i read that Chisora said of Fury's behaviour "He's a gypsy what do you expect"

That couldn't have went down too well with the travelling contingent

[Finn]

The Board won't allow it.

they let Haye and Chisora bet 30k against each other.

no chance they are only getting that little.
