Comments Thread For: Hearn: I Hope Tyson Fury Beats Wladimir Klitschko

Fury will give Wladimir the fight of his life, he's incredibly under rated

80/20 split.



He has to pay them twenty percent of the winning bid, whatever figure that may be. They then share it out as their promotional contract states, I'm not sure what standing Warren has with Hennessey, surely it is an agreement to promote the fights through his channel where he is figured in, though he should accept at least some return as he got Fury the eliminator against his guy and has co promoted his last few fights through his channel. I don't know the specifics, somebody like Denium will be familiar with the intangibles, he has followed his career consistently unlike many of the Brit fans who have defected to Fury now Haye has as good as retired.

Scott knows more much about the business side of things than me.

No idea what the exact figures are, as i understand it, Mick is Fury's promoter but has an agreement with Warren to co-promote his fights via BoxNation.

No idea what the exact figures are I'm afraid. Maybe Scott or someone else can do some digging around to find out? I'd do it myself but as it's Friday afternoon i'm heading offline shortly. I'll tweet Peter Fury and ask, he's usually pretty honest and forward.

I'm told that Warren has offered to buy out Tyson's contract but Fury wants to stick with Mick purely out of loyalty.

Fury is the most underrated fighter in boxing. I completely understand people predicting that Wlad will bomb him out, but no way is Fury an unskilled bum and i find it disappointing that so many supposed boxing experts feel this way.

Either way, K2 wins the bid as per usual.

I like both boxers equal for different reasons and don't mind who wins exactly...

I tip Wladimir Klitschko to win by KO.

Some respectable posters here have tipped Fury for some decent reasons, fair enough.

IF Fury wins, I'll eat crow for those guys...

What I wont tolerate is Fury being underated as an EASY or BAD opponent for Wlad or somewhat LESSER an opponent than could have been had in earlier times. Utter bollocks!

Fury will be the 2nd occasion on which Wlad has faced someone both longer and heftier than himself and in this case faster and more skilled than the one before him (albeit with a lesser chin).

Wladimir characteristically doesn't or can't employ any shut out tactics against an opponent like Fury either in practice or theory given the evidence.

I think that punch speed and punch power will win Wladimir the fight in an action packed adventure.

If I'm right it will be a good win against a good opponent in a good fight.

If I'm wrong, it will be the biggest upset since Tyson/Douglas and Wlad would have passed the torch to a worthy challenger who will be good for boxing.

Fair is fair!

This is why I think we could see an upset. Fury is even taller and longer than Wach as well as being faster, more mobile, and more skillful. He throws a ton more punches too, and Wlad is older now than he was back then.

Can't wait to see if I'm right about that.

^^ I can't take any offence to this position in theory.

It's one of the most exciting fights at HW imo.

[Weltschmerz]

Yeah I don't see why people don't give Fury a chance. He has certainly come a long way, and is indeed underrated. Good name on Vlad's resume at this stage.

true, but in a way Weltsch, I want this fight to be in Britain!

Public relations, and good for boxing globally!

[SeekDaGreat]

Yeah....he won't....the big lop will go down like a sack of potatoes.

Before hand Fury is a live threat.....

Afterwards, he was a bum who never had any skills, etc....

Every Klitschko fight over the last ten plus years ended up being like that.
