Tyson Fury vs. Francis Ngannou | TNT PPV - 28 October 2023

[Counter-puncher]

On world boxing news website it states:

9 Oleksandr Usyk vs. Dereck Chisora Sky Box Office – 1.059m

So I merely refering to that. If you know better and wish to share though Mick??

never take anything they say seriously.

unless it suits your agenda and you're desperate for it to be right so you can make a point

[Counter-puncher]

chisora - Usyk doing 1 million ffs

next you'll be telling me Usyk had problems with Chisora and it was like a 7-5 fight which Usyk nearly lost

[polecateddy]

It’s got to be basically the easiest fight of Fury’s professional career. Surely he’s going to get a taste for it now. If Björnsson had looked a bit more formidable beating Eddie Hall, surely he’d be on the menu.

Still, i guess it explains why Tyson chose to box Del as boxing him did better numbers for Usyk than facing AJ twice.

That same website states:

6 Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk – 1.232m


But .. I have no idea how accurate the site is, so it may be wrong .. it could be correct.

One thing appears consistent though is that AJ as champion sold a lot more than Fury as champion.

I am not reading anything that suggests Fury will shift any decent PPV numbers v Ngannou

[moogie101]

Joke of a fight, only positive is seeing someone walking away from the ufc as champion for an incredible payday after all the abuse thrown his way by Dana White and the UFC PR machine.

He's a big puncher and they'll sell the fight on him landing that big punch, but Tyson will make him look like a mug.

The only consistent is AJ has never and never will be ppv in America. It’s world champion, not a UK one. Aj has sold better here until recently, I’ll give you that. They didn’t even dare risk him last time out in this country! Usyk v Dubois will get more publicity worldwide than Aj v Whyte, Fury v Ngganou multiple times.

Usyk is the champion, so it stands to reason his title fight against Dubois will get more publicity than AJs comeback fight against Whyte .. I not see what's so surprising about that.

Re AJ, the Ruiz defeat absolutely killed him in the US.

Whats this Lineal champ shite , Until Fury it was almost unheard off , . Its simple it s an exhibition or its not and if its not and its over 12 rnds Francis lands a lucky punch and beats Fury he takes Furys title simple has that , But then raises the question how the fooook do they get away with sanctioning a fight between a undeafeated world champion belt holder and a what is he a wrestler with a 0-0-0 fights in boxing .

Then they take the piss by putting it on PPV , Jeez theres some fooookwits with too much money about , I mean this one is so competetive and such a joy to look forward too , i've already set my alarm to get up early and go for a ride in the rain , and i'm looking forward to that more than watching the Fury circus , don't even want to see John rip his shirt off and challenge Dana

The only person ripping their shirt off will be Frank Grant.

[Twinkle Toes]

Tickling contest king, Tyson fury has never been involved in a top 10 PPV event in the UK.

He would be there in that list if he'd been on a Joshua card - Four times in fact.

Still cant get my head around it, WBC champ and the second best HW in the world fighting someone making his debut.

I agree. It is utterly shameful. Can you imagine Djokovic avoiding Nadal and taking on the world squash champion in a tennis match instead.

"Yes, but look how hard the squash champion hits the squash ball against the wall. He is a big threat to Djokovic in a tennis match...etc etc"

This is worse, of course, because Ngannou will be getting hit round the head at will and won't be able to get out of the way.

I think this is one of the lowest points in boxing history. Still, Fury and his team seem immensely proud of themselves.

Only the people earning out it are happy about it though, well them and a few obsessive fans.

[TheLeprechaun]

If you watch Ngannous fights he makes so many mistakes it's unreal. He is going to look area level at best.

[Twinkle Toes]

Even Warren hasn't got enough front to call it a boxing match, preferring to call it an event lmao

[polecateddy]

I think with Mayweather and McGregor, there was always that small possibility that the extra size and conditioning might count for something. But Ngannou doesn’t even have that. He’s just going to plod forward and last basically as long as the referee can put up with it.

[jwfg]

If AJ was fighting Ngannou, the Luke Fury fans would of course be crying foul.

No, there is a good interview with Hearn on the Ariel Helwani show saying what a fantastic match up that would be. He was really all for it.

I wasn't talking about Hearn, I was talking about the Fury fans.

The crying, the bitching, the moaning, the hating today has been hilarious.


All this reminds me of the singer in The Godfather movie crying to Don Corleone and the Don saying YOU CAN BE A MAN, hahahahahahaha


THEY want to make October 28th an EPIC EVENT. I'll keep the rumours to myself - lets see what happens

Alexander Usyk and Alexander Krassyuk are 2 little whining clowning forking spooning bi*ches based on todays latest interviews

Point proven.

Point proven.

And what a wonderful point it was. Thank you sir, it really is such a pleasure to read your posts. They really are the highlight of my forum day.

[Kilburn]

I don’t like the fight, at all, and as far as I can tell there was zero demand for it to happen.

But a modern day UFC heavyweight champion is not equivalent to an area level boxer. That’s just daft, frankly.

The fight utter dog shit but it will still do big numbers
