Was Fury's covid made up?

[Wales]

Perhaps Team Wilder and Team Fury realised the ticket sales in the US were so bad, because it’s a rematch that none of the Americans asked for, that they fabricated an excuse (with Tyson agreeing to play the role of the scapegoat) to delay the event until later on in the year.

So the rematch could get relocated to a much more lucrative venue, such as a stadium fight in Manchester or London, because let’s face it, the Brits would pay to see this fight?

The UK’s rules surrounding COVID-19 have now been completely relaxed, making it an ideal venue for sporting events capable of attracting a massive live gate.

The fight is still in Vegas.

Correct but re scheduled for a date where U.K. fans should be able to travel.

I have tickets but can’t make the second date . If U.K. fans can’t travel I pretty much guarantee I won’t be able to sell the tickets I have . Just before Fury withdrew there were a lot left, and many more bought by U.K. fans who couldn’t travel and were trying to be refunded.

If, as expected, the US allow U.K. travel before the re arranged date I can pretty much guarantee I’ll sell the tickets I have and the remaining tickets will be snapped up by U.K. fans able to travel.

The thing with Vegas is it’s relatively cheap to travel to with a flight and hotel package from the U.K.

If the borders open U.K. fight fans could get flights and 5 nights accommodation, New York New York / Luxor level, for about $650 each .

Nah it’s in Vegas again, still at T mobile arena .

Nah it’s in Vegas again, still at T mobile arena .

Or so both the ticketing agents and MGM resorts have both told me

I’m trying to get $1100 refund but the terms are if a fight is re scheduled for same venue your ticket is still valid

It’s in T mobile again they’ve informed me

That's what I told him.

Fury seems pretty hard and fast over being in Vegas for it too. Which is a tiny bit odd as whilst it’s in Vegas it’s not in the premier venue (MGM grand) and also multiple members of his family and friends can’t get into the US and I’d imagine a kid of his fans can’t either

For a man who preaches that money doesn’t matter it’s the only reason the fight is there

T mobile is the #1 arena.

Is that the case now? Shows my british dinosaur thought process still thinking mgm grand arena was the epicentre

Ever since it opened. T mobile is an MGM property.

I knew it was part of their overall business venture as I’ve been dealing with MGM trying to claw back ticket cost when the fight was “postponed”.

Being naive and nostalgic I still had the perception that the MGM grand arena was the premier venue .

[Monte Fisto]

Defo made up, like most people who dont fancy putting in a shift at work for a week. Nobody dare question the Rona or even a text to a perfectly fit and well human. Best excuse on the planet right now.

It certainly is right now.
The corruption being perpetrated on us all is encouraging others to join in.

From politicians taking backhanders, doctors lazily slapping on DNR notices, to staff ignoring their duties and causing much unnecessary suffering it's all too easy to scive off right now.

Certainly so in the government financed public sector or the kind of world that Tyson Fury now finds himself in.

Crikey Wales, you spent $1100 on the rematch?
I mean the undercard was good, but the rematch probably won't be.

Michael Hunter thinks it's fishy, bad camp for Fury. https://www.boxingnews24.com/2021/08/ty ... el-hunter/

I don't know whether the rumours are true or not, but it surely can't be a coincidence that Malik Scott and Michael Hunter are not only close friends with Deontay Wilder, but they're also singing from the same hymn sheet.

To be fair, Tyson Fury was using Joseph Parker, Jared Anderson, Efe Ajagba and Christian Thun as sparring partners.

Here's what Malik Scott said during an interview:

Scott isn't surprised to hear rumours of Fury being roughed up in sparring given the calibre of partners he brought in for his latest training camp.

He continued: “To his credit, I’m not even big on that.

"When I see all those guys he was in camp with, I knew for sure he was getting touched up.

"I would hope that’s why he was bringing them in, so that he can fight them off and not get touched up, because that’s what you do when you’re trying to prepare for the likes of Deontay Wilder.

I'm a big Fury fan but I believe it to be about ticket sales and travel restrictions. Nobody in America except the conspiracy theorists (ie, glovegate) are remotely interested in this.

In America the mentality is this, if you get absolutely smashed--- you need to prove you need a return match. Otherwise you're just being a whiny, entitled little shit ruining the sport for everybody.

((Shrugs)) I bought the first two PPV's but I won't be doing it this time around. I'll catch the YouTube clips later. Wilder has got to be the most hated man in the heavyweight division because of the arbitration and the excuses.
