Tyson Fury vs. Oleksandr Usyk | PPV - May 18, 2024

[big lennox]

Excellent insight here from Uysk's promoter:

"If anyone else had been WBC Champion, the Undisputed match would have already happened in February or March".

Amen.

Excellent insight here from Uysk's promoter:

"If anyone else had been WBC Champion, the Undisputed match would have already happened in February or March".

I was just about to post this one. Good stuff.

Around the 13:00 minute mark, Krassyuk discusses something that must be mentioned here.

There were quite a few Furyette morons here (don't remember them exactly, but that Mickey guy and Doofey were among them for sure) who kept arguing how Krassyuk admitted Fury was the bigger draw/A side by saying "he is the bigger ticket seller".

And now Krassyuk goes into detail and says exactly what I have been saying to said morons, claiming how even Krassyuk admitted Fury had bigger star power: he explicitly meant it as selling tickets in the UK. That's it. Putting bums in seats in UK stadiums. But PPV is a whole different matter, and much more important as PPV is the main income stream. Usyk has been constantly outselling Fury on PPVs since the Bellew fight - so who's the bigger star here then? Yeah, Fury sells 90.000 tickets for Wembley, woohoo - big deal. Good for him. In the meantime, the other guy makes 1.3 million PPV sales globally - something Fury has never got close to before, ever.

So take the L, Furyettes - your argument about how even Krassyuk admitted Fury being the bigger draw just went tits up.

They want Fury v Joshua as do we.
Love to see Fury v Usyk, but it can wait.
End of.

Why?

Joshua has lost 3 of his last 5 fights, why would I rather watch that, than Fury v the man that tooks Joshuas belts?

Why, money that's why.
Joshua is a monster payday waiting to happen, Fury would be crazy to pass up on it.
The fact that Joshua might be on the slide and his popularity beginning to wane is probably the perfect time to take the fight.
I can't imagine Usyk would sell better than Joshua, it's an all England clash, the place is gonna be packed to the rafters and it's a nice shot in the arm for the UK economy at a time where they could do with it.
Of course I'd like to see the Usyk fight and I'm sure he will get that fight sooner or later, but it's not like Usyk himself has been knocking out or handily beating top Heavyweights either himself is it.
That's actually been Tyson Fury doing that and taking the big risks, Wilder 3 times in the U.S and he went to Germany to dispose of Klitschko, can't accuse Fury of taking the path of least resistance.

They're the ones shooting their mouth of, I'm just responding to them.
They're just basically online bullies that's all, when someone stands up to them like I do they get all panicked and sh_t themselves like they always do.

You have no proof because there isn’t any. If there was any legit proof just one of the multitude of legal challenges would have succeeded but not a single one did.

No sense in wasting your time with him. He doesn't need proof he has Q and their insane beliefs. A complete waste of time with the likes of them

You should stop watching whatever Q is and start living in the real world, spending too much time with the conspiracy theory crowd has clearly had an effect on you.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Speaking on Fighting On The Inside Podcast, Alex Krassyuk professed that he did not believe Usyk would accept the terms put forward by Fury, but he did simply to try and get the fight made.

“A couple of hours before the deadline from the WBA, he went on Instagram and said Usyk was worth 30%. It was a bluff, everyone knows it was a bluff.”

“But it was a good point, because Usyk wanted the fight that much that he called the bluff! I’m not satisfied with the split, definitely not.”

“The money that we’d make in this fight is not even near what we made in the previous fight. But it didn’t bother us at all.”

It's pretty clear what Tim Bradley thinks:

Imagine getting chinned by Ngannou after finally having this fight.
Would be sad and hilarious at the same time.

surprise, surprise. how in the world? who would've thought?

There's really no reason why we now can't also get Joshua v Wilder too for the same reason we got Crawford v Spence, Mayweather v Pacquiao, Canelo v GGG etc etc.

Even the greatest of champions eventually realise, contrary to what they might be regularly told, they are not immortal, and Father Time remains an undefeatable foe.

All of the top 5/6 are now on borrowed time, but I still think those 24 fast and furious rounds against Usyk prove that Joshua still has plenty left in the tank.

Helenius played the patsy for his good buddy Wilder but against Joshua he pulled out all of the stops, including some which are on the banned chemicals list.

It would have been a travesty had he won.

If boxing really wanted to treat us, Wilder vs. Joshua would be co-main of Usyk vs. Fury.

That would be the co-main of the century.

They'd just have to invite celebrities like Dylan, Stallone and Mickey Rourke as well as legendary past champions like Holmes, Tyson, the Klitschkos and Lewis.

Pure fantasy of course, but we can always dream.

[Ruthless-RKO]

haters gonna hate

[Thomastearns]

haters gonna hate

Good interview and good prediction on Wood v Warrington.

Hearn knows fully well that nothing will stop Fury v Usyk - if Fury gets all of his money demands.

When it comes to Hrgovic being the IBF mandatory it's funny he brings up the rules of boxing.

Everyone knows the rules of boxing are primarily money making.

No wonder he's smiling.

I just hope he's not right about Fury making it a stinker against Usyk with continuous holding and leaning as he is wont to do.

This global showcase fight needs the best referee it can get.

[Redback Rasta]

Hearn just doing everything he can to talk down the fight. 100% predictable.

Hearn has even been trying to compare Benn-Eubank to it :lol:
