I understand this is a win for Tyson Fury but how does it benefit the fans? Because that's what you are a fan not Tyson Fury's accountant. Like you said it's a win/win for Tyson Fury but not any real fans of the actual sport of boxing.
If everybody in the sport of boxing took Fury's approach where would it leave the sport? There's nothing wrong in taking a circus fight if you're coming to the end of your career or cleared out the division because it's more justifiable. However, Fury coming off an unnecessary Chisora fight, then heading into a contest against a novice just puts a sour taste in people's mouth.
There's no need for you or me to make excuses for Fury; he could of made the big boxing fight's against Usyk or AJ if he wanted to but like you said he took the best deal for himself. In any other sport, this wouldn't be tolerated. A champion taking on 0-0 novice with no amatuer pedigree brings the credibility and integrity of the sport into question, can you not recognize the damage this does?
As fans, our priority shouldn't be fighters lining their pockets at the expense of the sport. It should be making the best fights in boxing to bring credibility and integrity back into the sport.

More than a few people on this site still believe that Wilder should have been awarded the ko in the 12th round of their first fight,and that the ref gave fury a long count. But as long as the decision goes in your favor,it's all good,right?
