Re: Martin Rogan rejects huge offer to face Tyson Fury
Posted: 11 Aug 2011, 17:20
Crazy fight to turn down..
He's very raw, even after 30 odd fights and he really hasn't fought anybody. Have a look at his fight against Travis Walker (it's a good brawl)it's on youtube - it basically sums him upleforge wrote:The board won't allow Meehan and Botha so struggling to find other commonwealth opponents.

Cant believe I am agreeing with you, but I am. Bring on Audley and retire him for good.Josh1111 wrote:crusader wrote:If the offer was truly generous then "huge" would've been written capitals, but it wasn't, so Hennessy is obviously full of crap.
without knowing what the offer was, its hard for anybody to say this.
Its probably a big payday for Rogan but one which he will easily lose.
Love him or hate him, the only fight out there for the British is Fury v Audley
They'd have to make it about 20 a quid a ticket to sell any (or have a great undercard). Fury-Harrison would stink the joint out more than Fury-Mcdermott 2 and Harrison would throw less punches than Chisoras 5 a round. Terrible match.stevek3lly wrote:Cant believe I am agreeing with you, but I am.

If it was HUGE and bold would we be talking Money Mayweather purses?crusader wrote:If the offer was truly generous then "huge" would've been written capitals, but it wasn't, so Hennessy is obviously full of crap.
Yep. It's gotta be both for those types of purses.Final round wrote:If it was HUGE and bold would we be talking Money Mayweather purses?crusader wrote:If the offer was truly generous then "huge" would've been written capitals, but it wasn't, so Hennessy is obviously full of crap.
But if he is defending his British title, there is nobody else out there until Price fights McDermot. I suppose the only other one who i dont hink has been mentioned, is Sam Sexton?yid14 wrote:They'd have to make it about 20 a quid a ticket to sell any (or have a great undercard).

Thanks for the tip I'll be looking out for the glaring clues in purse discussions in the futurecrusader wrote:Yep.

Sexton not had a fight since Chisora so I doubt he ready for it.Josh1111 wrote:But if he is defending his British title, there is nobody else out there until Price fights McDermot.

Micheal Sprott would be a good test. But either way why does he have to defend his British or commonwealth just for the sake of it? Surely he's up there in the European ratings if not someone whose world ranked, and then defend against Price early next year.Josh1111 wrote:But if he is defending his British title, there is nobody else out there until Price fights McDermot.

He'd have to get over that new phobia of not being able to throw a punch, I really can't believe that this would even be considered, it really would be no win for Fury.Roars Like Me wrote:Just a thought, what if Harrsion lays out Fury, he does have technical ability which is something Tyson doesn't have. That would be a horrible back step for the new British heavyweights but it's not beyong the realms of possibility..
