Sorry, but it doesn't work like that.expe wrote:He wouldn't be if he didn't fight his mandatory, can't duck the number 1 contender then still claim to be champion.SteveO wrote:In Wlad's case he would still be the legitimate lineal heavyweight champion.expe wrote:if the champion doesn't fight you and you win the vacant title, that fighter is a legitimate champion.
Fury would only be fighting for the vacant WBO/WBA alphabet titles.
Will be a great atmosphere I think over there - the German's do love a bit of a knees up. I expect Fury to get taken apart, but it should be fun whilst it lasts, I think the big lug will have a go at least, and even if he does fail, he will give it his all, which is all you can expect of anyone.Glass Joe wrote:loyalty usually goes at the window if a tv company is willing to pay millions more, suppose channel5 could get if they offer mick a new tv deal for his domestic stable.
As for the fight big fury fan but i think this fight will be the same as the pulev fight.
He could of had more than that and had it in the UK if he had let it goto purse bids... Think they might have missed a trick there!mickey1975 wrote:The interest in this is mad on my FB. Going to be some weekend.

Saying that, there could be anything in the contract, like a guaranteed rematch if its a close fight, or a stern ref who wont stand for BS holding!
I don't think it would sell 50,000 tickets in the UK. Just my opinion, but I really don't think Fury has the fan base for it.PokerRob wrote:True... but it would have been nice to have it in the UK, and if Hrunov would have won the purse bid it looks like it would have been!ILikeBeer wrote:Who cares what Tyson Fury is getting paid?I'm not his accountant.

Is someone planning a special entrance?Rexob wrote:Supremo wrote:Hopefully he has more pride than David Haye and goes for it but regardless of how he fights Wlad is going to beat him, he is several levels above Fury.
A lot of people are going to be in for a big surprise when this fight happens!
Will there be a post fight brawl between Haye and Fury? Will Fury run around saying ' he glaaaarrrsed me!

Yep, doesnt look good for Boxn@tion... £16.95 on Sky Box Office in my opinion... SKY will buy the UK TV rights for about £5mil!chad wrote:Looks like this is going to be PPV in the UK. Steve Bunce wrote earlier in his ESPN column "The fight now looks destined in the UK to be one of Sky television's pay-per-view offerings."
I think this pretty much rules out B0xnati0n.
My experience of boxing in Germany would suggest ticket prices will be reasonable. I've been in the stadium to watch football its a great stadium. Ultimately its not going to be the greatest of views from every seat by its nature.jamesmcdonnell wrote:I might go to this, wonder what tickets would cost?
I think if he does - he needs to do it early on, before Wlad gets into his groove - and be prepared for what starts coming back.G0mez wrote:Im really looking forward to this fight.
Wlad is a big classy lump, but it would be interesting if Tyson sticks it on him.
20%? Id go less than 10% as I'd be backing wlad to win at least 9/10 timesjamesmcdonnell wrote:I think if he does - he needs to do it early on, before Wlad gets into his groove - and be prepared for what starts coming back.G0mez wrote:Im really looking forward to this fight.

The biggest problem for Fury, is that he isn't really a big puncher, despite his size - and Wlad most certainly is. That left hook of Wlad's is a devastating shot, if he lands flush on Fury, the fight's over.
I give fury about a 20% chance of winning this one.
I'm being generous. That's assuming the best possible performance from Fury. To be honest, I should be going 15% being generous.freddydoesdallas wrote:20%?

As I've said a few times, they were never going to drop Meaty Mick. He is the manager.JimJim2009 wrote:i'm really surprised that this deal is done - and the fight appears to be going to sky - with fwank apparently completely cut out of the loop. i'm sure he only made Fury/Chisora because he thought he had the winner under his wing regardless of who won. With hindsight he could have kept Delboy treading water and he'd still be the WBO top contender.
From the outside looking in it seems Fwank has been out-manouvered ?
True, at times though over the past year Fwank seems to have been the public representative of Tyson instead of mick, he has talked about the wlad fight so much and for so long that it seems quite a big surprise that he is not part of it, or that it won't be shown on his channel.mickey1975 wrote:As I've said a few times, they were never going to drop Meaty Mick.

I've seen £3.5m mentioned on here a couple of times, has that been announced as his fee officially?mickey1975 wrote:It's a huge ask, we've known that all along. But he will do better than Haye. And come home a rich man, all for a kid who just hits himself in the face...Dad and uncle out of jail, 3.5m, it's all turned out well!
