Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury To Be Profiled on HBO's Real Sports With Gumbel

[tiliheels]

There's absolutely no doubt that Fury is an infinitely bigger draw than Rigo.

Its as simple as that.

once again hbo has no rights to fury's uk money..he's already laced and daced over there with tv deals...they will only touch his american audience money..and has he did millions of views in the us or anyone in the hw division for that matter that fights on hbo? rigo and donair did millions broke records for small fighters..all they had to do was keep giving rigo the big fights like they are willing to do for GGG..im bein sensible about this you are just say "draw" im really breaking it down...hbo flopped with numbers for klit time and time again even vs fury...and thats who they are going to promote know..lets be real his belt could be gone in 2 defenses
just a list of fights hbo chould have made with rigo
donaire 2, frampton, quigg, chocolotio,inoue, lomo, walters...no matter the weight they could have got it done instead of putting 3 millions dollars on a mw fight with billy joe...THEY LEFT A COMPETITIVE DIVISION WITH A 2 TIME GOLD MEDAL WINNER TO PROMOTE a bronze medalist who is fighting is a crappy division that haymon and golden boy have a straggle on...

yes frampton is now with haymon and well as selby..but hbo gave up rigo way before haymon came along...as a real boxing fan u cant tell me you are not mad u didnt get to see those matches due to hbo..smh if u can pick another sport

This post is all kinds of wrong, on many levels. For starters

1. Their Klit numbers lately have been excellent. Otoh Rigos did record low ratings last time he headlined.
2. After Donaire, nobody wanted to see a rematch, and all those guys you listed were non factors. Loma and Inoue were only turning pro, Walters only fought in Panama, Gonz just move up from 108, other guys prospects

But main thing you don't get is, most people don't like watching Rigo fights. Even if he was exciting hed have a lot working against him: midget weight, can't speak English. Add his style, and nobody can sell that to US viewers.

I'm just here to read comments from guys who's blood pressure keeps going up over the attention Fury gets. ****s hilarious.

And glad to see Fury get some more attention in the US. I think he's already played a huge part at making the HW division interesting again after the decade of boredom Klitschko gave us & he only cements a new HW era beginning when/if he beats Klitschko in the rematch.

bru great? it was hbo's 10th best numbers of the year lol and they put on about 14 cards total
thats BS that nobody would watch a rematch..hbo had kiko martinez to offer as well and the talent was forming instead they gave up on a boxing prodigy to invest in the dawgon mw division where nobody wants to fight each other..
rigo sells just like floyd will..the proof is in the donaire numbers being better thatnt he furyklit numbers..just give him the best fights and the ppl want to see the best vs the best..that always prevails

look i've seen fury only fight bums and he only was fun vs cunningham and chisora guy that are shorter and smaller..trust me vs the top guys he's fgoingf to do wat he did vs wlad..

u mention rigo getting dropped by a giant compared to the stature of rigo lol..lets see fury fight a decent fighter that is much bigger than him watg would he do? get dropped like he did vs smaller guys like cunningham? Foh bru..this is not even a convo rigo would flat out kill the style of tyson fury

Thank you Fury is garbage, who feasted on terrible competiton. Guy is a WWE wanna be.

Beating Klitschko is a better achievement than anything Rigo will accomplish in his limited career. Stay salty.

This is great American exposure for the future Deontay Wilder Mega fight.

Bryant Gumbel better give him the hardball questions!
