Fury isn't a big enough ticket seller for it to happen over here imo and Hennessy doesn't really look like he has a long term future with Channel 5, so not sure where the money would come from.

Hennessy has done Ok with Fury so far, but I'm starting to question whether he has the financial resources to take Fury's career any further. Personally I feel he'd be better off with Warren now, he's proven with Chisora and many other boxers over the years he can make big fights happen, and I think he could do more with Fury than Hennessy can right now, Fury vs Chisora 2 would be a decent fight for Allegedly channel and they could build more subscribers from it.

Too much is made of Warrens limited company being in financial difficulty, he still has tremendous personal wealth and his own TV station, so I don't believe for a second he is on his last legs as a promoter.

Hearn is the other option obviously, I just think Warren is a better fit and has much more experience in getting heavyweights decent title chances.

Hennessy hasn't done an 'OK' job with Fury, he's done an amazing job. Getting Fury's fights shown on terrestrial television, exposure in America, fights that have made Tyson a highly ranked contender and one fight away from becoming a mandatory challenger for the world title. What is 'OK' about that?

The fact that after everything you mention fury is still not a major ticket seller, and is still going to be fighting in cattle sheds in Somerset. If Hennessy loses channel 5 - what then?

Fury's lack of a following is not down to Hennessy, it's because Tyson doesn't have a clear identity. I wouldn't class the smaller room at MSG as a cow shed.

If Hennesy loses C5, then we'll find out what he does. But for now, that hasn't happened.

It is absolutely 100% down to Hennessy, he is Fury's promoter, that means not just making the fights, but promoting him in the right way, something he is struggling with at the moment imo (seems a similar situation to what happened in the early part of Froch's career). As for Madison Sq Garden, I've not seen any reports on how well that fight sold so can't really comment on it or how much of the sales were down to Cunningham.

As far as I've heard Ch5 are out of boxing at the moment and the last Tyson fight was a one shot, last minute deal.

I should say, I like Fury, I just think for the good of his career he needs to move forward with a different promoter.

I trust his judgement as he fought and beat Dimitrenko too. He also was one of the few people to call Thompson KOing Price. He is a student of boxing

Peter Fury also feels Pulev is a limited fighter.

I'm still unclear on what Pulev's standout win is, that earned him his fearsome reputation ...

Anyway, I am hopeful this fight will happen as the Fury camp are actively pursuing it

EDIT: I have just discovered Pulev LOST more fights as an amateur Super Heavyweight than he won, including losing FIVE times to Camarelle

HOW does this guy have such an esteemed reputation??

Remind us how long ago was the mcdermott fights ?? or are you just picking bones cause you have a very small penis and hate gypsies ?

Oh yeah ...because big tyson would be the type to be scared wouldnt he
Indecently Fury told everyone that Price would get KOed before they fought as he knew Prices jaw was mad of chocolate ...to bad that Price was further down that ranking level as if he wasn't it might of been Fury exposing Price with a cuff up the ear instead of an old man in Thompson

Everyone should support him , he's given us some great entertainment.
