The US networks are in a bidding war to sign Anthony Joshua but have shown barely any interest in televising Fury long term - the inference is quite obvious - black is preferred - If Tyson Fury was born in Brooklyn there is no doubt he would be a huge star already and he would be absolutely lionized by the US media - heck there would be a movie about his life story already being made --- http://spam.com/2016/04/20/does ... ght-champ/

Joshua is far more entertaining in the ring (and perhaps commensurately unentertaining out of it).

Fury's last three fights have been snooze-fests and he now seems committed to a negative Wlad-like style, though he doesn't have the redeeming KO pop that Wlad does.

Don't you mean, if Tyson Fury was black?

What's being born in Brooklyn got to do with your notion?

Joshua & Fury are both British.

There is also an Olympic gold medal to consider which makes Joshua more appealing.

Fury's personality makes Joshua look as boring as Ward or Whitaker - Yes Joshua is a big deal but the fact that Fury is being shunned and ignored is unfair - there is a bias against Fury - I think it has to do with that he's white and Christian - the media is anti Christian -

He's also 6' 9"; maybe they're heightist too?

Probably has a lot to do with the fact that Fury's fight with Wlad was one of the most boring fights ever

I think it has a lot to do with what is coming out of Fury's mouth. Didn't he make anti-gay statements recently. He has full rights to express his opinions, but he can't expect support from TV companies and advertising contracts when he says politically incorrect things.

Personally, Joshua just seems a lot more likable.

Mike Tyson called gays faggots and threaten to eat people's anuses Alive. Called . He got on us tv

I think it's more to do with him being an Irish Traveler. No one likes those people.

Joshua = longevity
Fury = temporary

Dear God, Joshua is a bigger draw.

Yes, gypsies are bad.

You smile, but this plays a part.
It's still the most 'acceptable' racism.

IF this story is true it's because Tyson Fury can't keep his mouth shut

Talking about rumors there are many rumors that Fury is fat, unmotivated, and wants out.

Joshua just scored an explosive KO, while Fury's win was excruciatingly boring.

And let's remember, Fury's win also came over a champion that US TV wanted nothing to do with. Boring fights are the greatest sin in televised boxing. I just cannot see race being a real factor here. I am pretty sure what matters in the business of televised boxing is money, just can't see a racist agenda being advanced and certainly not in this direction.

White's not getting a fair shake in a black dominated world, strange days indeed.

Just my opinion of course.

NEWSFLASH: The USA is Media Driven.

If you want to make it here it's generally a very good idea to keep your mouth shut about such issues as Gays and Abortion. And, oh, by the way, telling your opponent to go fock his own Mother isn't going to get you a contract selling mufflers or grills.

Joshua and Wilder both thanked god as well.

If Fury had dominated Klinchko and knocked him out the American media would've been all over him. They love crazy loud-mouths. Look at Trump for instance. Fury's problem isn't that he's white, it's that in the ring he's boring. The Klinchko fight was a huge snore-fest. Joshua went in and demolished the "unbeaten" Charlie Brown....uh...Martin. He looked the part of a Hollywood boxing champion.

Ali and Tyson said a lot of politically incorrect things ;O

Actually the US media despises Trump and has been demonizing and trying to destroy him for the entire campaign - ie megan kelly - the surprise is that despite being attacked by the media and all candidates and both parties Trump is still winning BIG -

But Fury is over the top with his outspoken Christianity and support of the Bible - Joshua and Wilder are unoffensive to the anti Christian media controllers - it's acceptable by them - But Fury is far too offensive and outspoken for the media manipulators who HATE outward displays of support and love for Jesus Christ -

Not in USA - Joshua is a non entity here -

Joshua is gonna be a huge draw. He's got the look of a champ, chiseled like a Tyson or Holyfield. He's got a 100 percent ko and he's fun to watch. Plus he's running through the competition so far.

Fury is skinny and fat at the same time......looks like an oaf. His win over Wlad was a great win but extremely boring.

It has nothing to do with race lol

Joshua will have his share of boring fights - but the media will not portray it as boring - as they always accuse Klitschko but never accuse Ward Floyd or Whitaker of being boring - there is absolutely an anti white bias in the US media - not sure if so in UK - Sure Klitschko had some bad fights just like Ali and Tyson did too - but when Klitschko had good KO wins the media spun it as the whole division sucks -
