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]

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...

Bro, “put kids through school” it’s a phrase used to say you have a family to look after. It’s not meant in a literal sense lol.

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.

Point is the same. Make as much as you can while you’re able to. You guys are the confused ones; of course I prefer to see fury fight usyk, or any other top contender for that matter, but I also understand why he’s fighting Francis.

Shortly after this ****** person insulted Jess Ennis achievements at the British sports personality of the year, it went on to claim it don’t need the money and is happy to either give the purses away or fight for free. Then, got stripped for being basically the scumbag he is, get fat and go down the pub? Why would a WBC world heavyweight champion who “got back on his horse” end up fighting non boxers? He’s just encouraging this Paul character. He’s not been stripped but should be, he’s not been forced to face a mandatory under the rules of THIS sport. Uncle booooooooooob has too much influence in this game. Other world champs infact, ALL pro boxers should reject this as acceptable, you’ve got this fool on youtube claiming a record in boxing against NBA and MMA people! That’s not boxing, boxers should stand and be counted before someone gets made to look a complete fool and laughed at and there are many people who will laugh should it be this kunt. Worse still, somebody could get really hurt.
strip the diddycoy of the belt and let hardworking men who earned their place on the ladder fight for it. Kunt saying he runs this sport! What a kunt! It’s either Arab money or fight to retain the “heavyweight champ” status plain and simple.

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.

Yeah the BBBofC taking 16 months to bring to their attention what seemingly was a contamination or a legitimate case of him eating wild boar based on their own findings is rotten I agree.

The BBBofC and UKAD should have their incompetence spoken about a lot more as well as other anti-doping organisations, maybe then there would be real changes in the sport.

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.

I don't even need to respond to that individual now because you already did a solid job of it. He is definitely confused or is new to the sport of boxing because he seems to think the rules and rankings shouldn't apply to the biggest earners. His references to Holyfield's well documented financial problems and the tragic story of Prichard Colon were puzzling to say the least. I don't know what relevance that was supposed to have to the current heavyweight situation.

I'm well aware it's a turn of phrase but it's a redundant one, particularly when it pertains to a fighter from the UK almost everything is "free", most healthcare, schooling, doctors visits etc etc the only cost he’ll incur is food and clothes realistically.

Paying £10 per item on prescriptions, £26 dentist checks up every 6 months and biannually paying for optician appointments at like £30 a head isn’t going to break his bank now is it?.

Truthfully it just sounds like you're justifying him fighting mediocre opposition when there are plenty of good/great fights to be made with similar money on the line and citing money as the reason.

Listen, I agree with you. Just saying I’m never going against a fighter securing a huge payday over fighting for titles. It’s called prize fighting for a reason.

one last note- why do you think fighters always call out the Floyds, pacman, fury, Canelo, tank and other huge names in boxing? Paydayyy *Canelo voice*

[MoneyKing]

All Tyson Fury haters are nothing but broke clowns who smell their sisters underwear on a daily basis. Fury is the champ, Fury is the king, Fury is unbeaten. Bellew, Froch, Joshua are losers and morons of the highest degree - they ain't on Fury's level. Tyson Fury is the cash cow so get use to it.

Absolutely.

But Fury has their incompetence to thank for his career.

The transgression was considered worthy of a 2 year ban. He had elevated levels of nandrolone in his system. That's serious!

He should have been banned prior to the Klitschko fight. And even if you allow for a farcical lengthy UKAD process, his retrospective ban should have at least made that fight ineligible, rather than taking effect from 10 months after the test and a couple of weeks after the Wlad fight.

His career has been built on a drugs travesty. A technicality might mean it stays in the record books, but it's very heavily tainted.

Yeah but boxers calling out other boxers for paydays is all good.

Fury on the other hand is currently fighting a guy who isn't even the best at striking in MMA and actually had to resort to wrestling when he's a laughably bad wrestler against a somewhat decent striker to win.

Which not only doesn't bode well for him but shows how low Fury is willing to sink for a marginal bump in payday and to fight weak opposition over real opposition...

Rather than fighting the real fights we all want to see, he can fight the clown shows after he's proven he's the best of his era/retired.

He shouldn't be doing so whilst he's a currently reigning champion it makes him a laughingstock as well as the sport and holds up the division for real competitors.
