      Several sources reported Usyk/Chisora doing just over 1million. I don't know if that number came from Eddie or not.

      Hearn claimed Fury/Chisora did around 300k. I saw an interview with Warren where he rubbished that number and said it did a lot more. When he was asked if it did over a million he claimed that he couldn't remember the actual number, just that it was a lot more than what Eddie said.

      Personally, I'd be surprised if Fury/Chisora did as much as 300k. The event itself sold out, because it was an event, and both Fury and Del Boy have a lot of fans who enjoy attending live shows. I can't imagine many fans were interested in the actual fight itself though. I certainly wasn't. I didn't even bother finding a free live stream, which I could have done easily. I still haven't watched the whole fight, just highlights on YT.

      Anyway, nuff said about that rubbish. It's looking like the big fight is going to happen after all, eh?

          Edddie Hearn should sue them for plagiarism.

          Krassyuk and George Warren are meeting face to face now. They must be optimistic about getting it done, otherwise, why bother meeting up?

                Yeah, his name would never be mentioned alongside Lennox, Mike Tyson, etc. unless he cleans out the opposition. It's a historic achievement. All about the money? What if you are already a multi-millionaire? Fury is on record saying he doesn't need the money. He openly talks about retirement because he doesn't need the money. He talks about giving away his money.....but now money matters? It's a pissing contest. If he doesn't want the fight, just say so.
                So you've just now realized that Tyson Fury says a lot of nonsense and constantly contradicts himself? He's been saying he doesn't need money so that he can ask for ridiculous amounts of money in order to "not retire". Mike Tyson didn't clean out the opposition, he got exposed against high level boxers.

                  Who said I "just now realized?" Nobody should call him out when he contradicts himself?

                    You would have called him out 12 other times by now if that was the case, so yes it seems like you're just now realizing. Also I would like you to acknowledge how overrated Mike Tyson was and how he never cleaned out the division.

                      I have called him out multiple times, so no, I'm not just realizing. And Mike Tyson was a front runner/pressure fighter. The Cus D'Amato trained version would be a handful for anybody. However, he could be made to capitulate. He would not have beaten Ali, Foreman, or several other ATGs. He came along at the right time.
