    The Ruiz loss hurt a lot too, a lot of my casual mates turned on AJ after he lost to the short fat guy.

      The fight will sell out, I am sure of that.

      But of course? Most boxing fans are not real fans of the fighters 'They are Glory Hunters'.

      I think the thread starter and maybe only a couple of more posters on here 'Are real genuine hardcore Tyson Fury fans'.

      I will always take notice to when certain fans of Fury speak, because I know were their perspective are coming from 'They are genuine fans'.

      The rest will distance themselves once he loses.

      I saw the same things happen to David Haye & David Price, two fighters I supported.

      Most boxing fans, and casual sports fans are glory hunters. They have no real depth to their interest, they just like whoever is doing well or is the best at any given time.

      Boxing just like life is a roller-coaster, you have to support your fighter all the way.

        Kind of what happens when your casual fans watch you have a mental breakdown in the middle of the ring.


        Plus AJ was built from the start. Hes not a fighter, hes a brand.

          AJ vs Franklin will sell out the 02. Just because it didn't sell out in a day doesn't mean it won't sell out at all.

            I find that interesting that you’d consider what AJ said to be racist but on the same token you said you felt Eddie Hearn’s analysis of Tank Davis to be also racist.

            That seems like two opposing points of view there.

              A unified Heavyweight Champion, 3 of the 4 belts held for multiple years, defended multiple times, beaten a list of Top 10 ranked opponents, is not a fighter in your ridiculous opinion.

              Aren't you the same guy who said James Toney would “dominate, destroy and knock out” prime AJ whilst he “doesn’t land a glove on him?”

              Question; How do you get through your day to day life which these incredibly retarded opinions you have? Do they spill into your normal life or do they just pertain to boxing?

                I didn't say that Hearn's analysis of Tank was racist, i said that his comments could be construed as being racist.

                AJ's comments were cut and dry.

                  What possible way can you construe Eddie Hearn’s analysis of Tank to be racist in any way?

                  I agree with you on AJ. I just find it quite baffling that you’d hold both of those opinions at the same time.

                    I don't hold that opinion re Hearn and Tank, but plenty do.

                    Hearn, a privileged white male, called a black man unarticulated & ******.

                      Some of them are savvy enough to realise that Usyk is a hell of a lot better than they thought he was.

                      Others really have no clue what they are looking at in a boxing match and are now just as cock-sure that Fury will flatten Usyk in a couple of rounds max.
