TYSON FURY has been warned he will have to wait for a clash of the giants against David Price.
Both British heavyweights extended their unbeaten records at the weekend and Price’s promoter Frank Maloney has offered £650,000 to make a fight with Fury.
Liverpool’s 6ft 8in British champion Price stopped 45-year-old Matt Skelton in two rounds on Friday, before 6ft 9in Fury moved one fight away from a WBC world title shot with a points win over American Kevin Johnson in Belfast on Saturday.
But Fury’s promoter Mick Hennessy has dismissed Maloney’s offer as “a joke” and is demanding much more to get it on.

Let's be honest here, this could sell out Anfield....
30,000 odd tickets at £40 a pop...where would this money be going if not to the fighters? Ahem.
Fury could be earning millions, not £650,000. Any promoter or manager would reject that offer.
There's no way Fury-Price fill a 30k stadium.
20k max, and that'd be with one hell of a marketing drive.
The sticking-point here is TV deals. Fury is contracted to Channel 5 (free to air); Price to BoxNation (PPV). Channel 5 have invested heavily in Fury's career - they're not going to allow him to fight on a rival network.

Fury should fight David Haye. Thats a fight I'd like to see.
Haye's on record saying he's not interested. It would take more money than Fury can generate to make that fight.
Frank Maloney offered 500k on TV and wasn't Fury jumping at that? Now they aren't interested despite that being increased by a further 150k!
Drop the act, clearly they want nothing to do with Price.
I think everyone knows that. I personally hate Fury. He gets big exposure on C5 and talks smack without ever backing it up. He went 12 rounds with Johnson who only had a 3 week training camp. It's obvious they hoped Fury would KO an overweight Johnson and claim Fury to be better that Vitali as he destroyed the guy who took the champ 12 rounds. Kinda back fired as Fury did a worse job than a 40 year old Vitali who gave Johnson a full training camp.
Maloney will no doubt switch over to his new promotions name. Frank Maloney promotions that was created in may this year.
Little corrupt elf
i think he already has. FMP now used on advertising, website etc. though he isnt a director in said company of course. but obviously he is empowered to make financial offers on its behalf. wonder what his job title is?
chief scrotal officer!
Hahaha
Hopefully he goes bust and Price signs with Matchroom.
Do 40/40 with the rest to the winner.
Seems to me that both guys use each other's name to garner attention and further public interest in a grudge match. I think the above suggestion is a good one.

Pretty sure that purse is more than Fury has made in his whole Career so far...

Let's get it right. Fury vacated the title so he shouldn't have to fight Price, but he said he was moving to bigger and better things. Which is Rogan and Maddalone? Come on man, you've never even made £100.000 how can you say £650.000 is a joke? Get in the ring and prove yourself. Prove you're the better, stronger guy. But we all know Price will test that chin in the first round and put his arse on the floor.

am sure FTM's creditors are thrilled to know that Malonely claims that he has £650k for Fury to fight.
Hahaha
