Comments Thread For: Carl Froch Hits Back at Tyson Fury: You're Taking The Money Instead of Being Full of Pride For The Sport

[chepboxingking]

What sort of nonsense is this? You honestly think Fury wasn't wealthy enough before he signed to fight Ngannou to put his kids through school? Give me a break. He was a multimillionaire ages ago. Sure, make enough money as you can but holding the WBC belt hostage while other boxers are trying to make enough money to be financially secure by fighting for and possibly winning a world title is making a mockery of the sport and lowering the respectability and integrity of the game greatly. "Fans" such as yourself are a disgrace and just perpetuate the problems with pro boxing and the corruption inherent.

How many boxers weren’t multimillionaires and have gone broke? When Holyfield went bankrupt and lost everything, did anyone step up to help out? Why shouldn’t any boxer make as much $ as possible why they can? Look at what happened to Prichard colon. I would argue that “fans” like me are the best type of fans that want to see boxers succeed in and out the ring.

As far as the belt being hostage, don’t blame Fury, blame greedy azsz Mauricio and the WBC team. BTW, fury next legit fight where he’s defending his title should be usyk, right? Well, he’s a multimillionaire too. By your logic, he doesn’t need to big money fight with fury. Continue fighting mandos.

I don't like the fact that Fury is having a crossover match. However, this is Prize Fighting and people shouldn't criticize Fury for securing his Family's financial future. If he's making more for this One fight than he ever has then so be it.
As a boxing fan, I want the best to fight the best and I'll pay to see it. I'm not ordering the fight because it's my choice to support it and I'm not paying to see Fury carry an mma fighter for 10 rounds. That's my choice. I'd rather pay 100 dollars to watch the Usyk fight and Fury knows it. Hes just clearing the table while hes at his maximum earning potential.

Well said.

Well said. That guy and his ilk are the reason why the sport, especially the heavyweight division, has become a joke. And WBC cannot be taken seriously anymore.

You sound quite confused. Making and managing your wealth properly are two completely different things. Greedy Belly is a coward and a clown. If he wasn't a coward he would have accepted the offered Usyk made to him, for the first Greedy Belly would take 70/30 and the winner of the first fight would take the same split. So, if Greedy Belly was confident that he could beat Usyk he wouldn't have had any issue with that proposal, a possibility for him to make 70/30 split twice. But he's scare to lose and ran. Greedy Belly is ducker and a PED cheat.

You folks, fanboys, should stop making silly excuses for this clown for you only ridicule yourselves.

Pride comes before a fall

Pride won’t put those 7 kids thru school. Besides, no matter who he beats, people will demand someone else, and if you don’t, you’re “ducking”. Make as much $ while you can should be rule #1 for all boxers.

The most expensive school in England is only £49k a year and even if he sent all of his kids to Eton which he can't, it'd still only be £1.7M for the time they're able to attend and university is cheaper than schooling still.

But gypsy girls don't stay in school; they drop out relatively young and start training to be a "wife/mother" so a good chunk of the cost is gone; he's more than secured the cost of his family years ago.

Of course people will say he ducked X and Y and expect him to fight more people after he’s beat someone worthwhile, his reign as a champion is pathetic compared to guys like Wlad, Vitali Tyson,Lewis and they’re just recent examples.

Especially when he likes to talk about himself as an all time great, he knows he isn’t and anyone who believes he is should lay off the crack pipe...

" Fury, the Lineal and WBC heavyweight champion" STOP RIGHT THERE! I'm sorry but someone needs to call BS on the lineal claim! Sure, Tyson Fury beat Klitchko....jacked up on a truck load of anabolic steroids. Calling Fury lineal is only half the story without also mentioning that he was pumped full of anabolic steroids. The fact that media allows this half truth to go unchallenged only perpetuates Fury's manipulation and it should stop, or at the very least be called out in every single instance.

Because he wasn't on steroids for the Wlad fight it was the Hammer fight, I don't know why this story always gets perpetuated.

Usually if you test positive for PEDs and get a 2 year ban, you wouldn't be eligible to win a title 9 months later.

But Fury's 2 year ineligibility started from just after the Klitschko fight instead.

Let's be straight, that's downright rotten. Boxing has always been dirty, but that's next level dirty.

I don't think that story can be told enough. It's hardly talked about at all.

Bwhahahaha, silly rabbit, tricks are for kids

Did you watch Kill Bill last night or something? hehehe.

[pollywog]

I have zero interest in watching Greedy belly dance around Ngannou playing pitty pat.

Count me out and hit me back when he decides to fight Usyk for all the straps.
