    You're supposed to be a fan of boxing. That means wanting boxers to take the fights they should. Not looking for them to get as much money as possible for little risk. Wilder has made a career out of it and already has a lot of money he didn't clearly deserve for what he put in to this sport.

      I am a fan of boxing, but I do understand business too! Like it or not, Fury vs. Ngannou will make A LOT of money in the Middle East! It's not "Pride" fighing, it's "Prize" fighting!

        But it is still a garbage pointless fight.

          The face of boxing should be Tyson Fury but his credence has gone down a bit since the collapse of the Uysk fight which I blame more on him. I hope the Joshua fight can be next as per some reports this morning and we get to see the Uysk fight later this year.Will go some way to appeasing the fans.

            If millions of people are going to pay to see it, you can call it whatever you want to! It's still 2 of the most feared BIG men in combat sports, fighting each other! People like to see BIG men fight!

                So that's what you're watching then? Fights that make the most money and not what makes the most sense? If celebrities vs boxers made the most money, they're the fights you'd want?

                  I don't see Ngannou as a "freak." Hate it, or love it, Fury vs. Ngannou has all the makings of Mayweather vs. McGregor! It will probably do just as well, and yes, I would pay to see it!

                    Ngannou is not a celebrity. He's not Jake Paul! I wanted Fury vs. Usyk too! Fury f'd it up! Now that's gone, I would pay to see Fury vs. Ngannou, or Fury vs. Ruiz! I would also pay to see Usyk vs. Wilder! I will NOT pay to see Usyk vs. Hrgovic! To each his own!

                      I never said Ngannou was a celebrity. I was just making the point about making the most money.

                      Ngannou is definitely not Jake Paul. Paul has a lot more experience with boxing as is thus, much better. If Ngannou goes through with this, you'll see how bad he is in a stand up fight with gloves on. A pro taking him on will be down to nothing but pure cowardice.

                      I never said anything about who Usyk should or should not fight. I'm talking about Fury. I said Fury needs to fight the top fighters out there. Usyk, Joshua and Joyce. Anyone else and it's another duck.
