With a 60-40 split in the other guy's favor, I doubt Warren would overbid.

Depends if warren can shoe horn this into his new BT backed venture with his boxnation channel.

BT will probably give him some dosh for it as he'll convince them he'll try for a AJ unification if hughie wins.

What he will actually do is say hughie is the A side and slag off hearn 24/7 and do his utmost best to ensure hughie has a career of 1 million pound paydays fighting WBO 10-15 rankers.

Hughie and Tyson were accused of taking nandrolone. There's no secret about that. Their case was scheduled to be heard by a tribunal last Nov, and if they'd been found guilty, Hughie wouldn't be taking part in a purse bid for a title fight now. You need a boxing licence to fight for a world title.

Either UKAD dropped the case against them, or they were cleared. My bet is that UKAD did a deal with Team Fury to avoid being sued, and the Furys can't talk about it for legal reasons. We'll find out eventually.

My Dream scenario:

Fish eyes win's the purse bid, it goes on BT sport (cba watching fights at 11am if it's in NZ)

Saunders fights his Mandatory Khurtsidze on the undercard.

Parker knocks Acne out, and midget mike tyson knocks out ******* saunders in the first round.

I'm wondering why the purse has been scheduled so soon for this fight. Feb 1st doesn't leave a lot of time for negotiations.

Joe Parker is quite average and nothing special at heavy a bum

Soft Joe Parker is quite average and not a top fighter and a joke as a champ. Even the Brit wimp Hughie fluff Fury will give Park a good fight. Neither boxer is a top 15 heavy. Eric Molina beats both of these bums.

I'm hoping Frank can bring this to the UK. His line-up for BT Sport is a little lacklustre so far
