Tyson was boiling during those questions. That's not good and shows that despite his answers this business with Kinahan has and continues to cause him stress.

No one would like answering challenging questions like that. Tyson’s used to talking rubbish (I’m retiring after this fight, I’m coming in as the heaviest ever world champ etc etc) and not getting pushed. The majority of what I saw yesterday was the sport channels and YouTubers asking questions. It’ll get worse for him when the main newspaper guys get there if he’s allowed to be questioned.

It probably won’t matter come fight night but anything that gets him riled up or takes away his focus from the fight can’t be good for him.

I don't think even his biggest critics can deny he clearly does well for his fighters and their looked after

The boxers here praised him like the ones in US praise Uncle Al.

They only say good things, and why wouldn’t they.

He probably brokered some good deals for them.

I remember thinking it was odd when BJS left frank for MTK, where frank would normally be effing and blinding about loyalty, instead wished bill all the best ..


When’s the press conference ?

Undercard presser is today and the Main event presser is tmoro

Is Frank full of COVID at the moment? That the reason for the mask and the dodgy voice?

Sorry, iy's today..

They changed it.

He’s saying it’s a cold but who knows. He couldn’t really sit it out with Bob not being there to help out.

Thanks, should be an entertaining one assuming DW turns up

Hard to do an undercard press conference if one of the fighters in the main undercard fights supposedly has visa issues.

Also makes sense to do the main press conference first to try and get some aggro between the two and some sound bites for the media.

Something needs to happen and quick as the momentum has gone. They need to get their acts together sharpish or the PPV will bomb in terms of delivering what it needs to for the purses. If Dillian wants paying in full without a struggle he needs to put a shift in quick sticks.

Yeah theres so many variables to this whole event: the huge ott purse bid, the gangster angle, the usual Tyson Fury blarney, and will he won’t he DW not showing up till the 11th hour… It’s hard to keep track.

Ugly truth is, one of them needs to do something outrageous at the press conference, or a headline grabbing melee, and then it’s game on, the casuals we will be scrambling to sign up for Saturday night

Just seen a Fury interview... Is that voice getting a bit scratchy? been hanging around sore throat Fwank a bit too much? Hope you guys are ready for Whyte vs Otto infront of 95,000.....

Dillian’s pay shouldn’t be an issue if Frank wants to keep any reputation.

Whilst Tyson’s saying he’ll be getting his full % split I’d take what he says on that with a pinch of salt so if the PPV doesn’t do the 1.5m buys Frank thinks then Tyson will be paid less than his purse split %.

I went on the BBC sports site earlier. The article re: this fight highest up the homepage was the one re: Kinahan which isn’t a particularly good sign.

By the Wednesday of Brook/Khan fight week I was getting loads of messages from my casual mates buzzing for it (with a couple even saying shall we get some 2nd hand tickets). No one’s mentioned a thing about this one yet.

talkSPORT all over the event this morning.

They at Wembley ahead of the presser later.

Worth a listen. Tyson just said he’s retiring again!

Then John said he isn't.. Not with the big fight pay day.

I'm glad we're not going to see that glorified sparring match

Oh yeah, didn’t believe it for a second!

Just trying to sell the fight.

Tyson's taking the p!ss.

the whole show seems to have died a death, nobody who I talk about boxing with has any interest, the undercard is sub standard and everyone seems to be going through the motions now

Meta may well have tweaked its algorithms across its platforms in light of the Kinahan sanctions. The US government is a powerful beast.

Tyson is in fight mode. Seems annoyed by everything at the moment.

Are you on glue?
Have the 94,000 asked for their money and cancelled their hotels?

Can you point a few mates of mine in the direction of tickets. They'll pay double?

I don't sense the buzz of Khan v Brook, Mick, do you? Disregard the stadium, that has done well, no doubt. I mean in terms of PPV predictions made by FW. If Khan v Brook did 500K that's 1 in 55 households buying. FW is predicting nearly 1 in 18. Can you see that happening, or anywhere near?
