Comments Thread For: Tyson Fury Reveals Secret Meeting With Bellew, Hearn's Plan

[saintpat]

“Sideline Eddie” ... I like it.

So you gave up a deal that would have seen you fight at least 2 massive stadium PPV fights in Bellew and Joshua, and a massive arena,potentially decent PPV fight in White for fights against an unknown midget in Seferi and a glorified journeyman in Pianetta on a Carl Frampton undercard.............good choice Tyson, good choice

agree with you 100... You can say what you like about Hearn but that 3/4 fight plan was a perfect way back to the top. Had he pulled all them off he could have capped it off by a mega fight with Wilder. Probs have been looking at a cool means of pocketing $100mil in 5 fights if not more...

Eddie is on some shady ****

How much more evidence and Eddie Hearn being exposed as a scammer, liar, and snake that you idiots need. Stop supporting this scammer and wake up. Stop donating your money to Matchroom charity and get behind Frank Warren, at least the guy is straight forward, please. I feel bad for you Brits who are dilusional

Fury says he didn't sign with Matchroom to fight bums like Bellew and Whyte before fighting Joshua, but signed with Warren to fight bums like Seferi and Pianeta before fighting Wilder?

That's his way of thinking. He knows he would be beat by anyone better than his recent matchups and wouldn’t get his chance at a title.

[jackblack008]

that was a great deal. better than fighting Seferi and Pianetta. plus he would have made good money. Fury is idiot

Way to expose yourself and some of the posters here, Tyson.. dont need to fight a couple bums, bums like Dillian Whyte? Yet you faced Seferi and Pianeta under Warren? Ouch..

I've seen this interview and I think what Tyson and his brother were saying, is that when Eddie spoke to Tyson, he wanted him to basically sign (and commit to) a 3 fight contract against Bellew, Whyte and AJ (providing he won the first two). At that time, Tyson was 27 stone and wasn't sure how ready he would be, by the time the fights came around. Whereas Frank offered Tyson more of a: 'We will take things slowly and let you shake the rust off, then when you feel ready, we can step up the competition' type of deal.
I understand people criticising Tyson's decision. But I guess he just felt Eddie wanted him to jump through very specific hoops with the prize being a shot at his golden boy (AJ) without guarantee of a good split etc.... and Tyson probably just thought: 'I'm not going to be your whipping boy and jump through all these hoops, just to get a shot at AJ'. I think Tyson has the mentality that he is still the man, and he doesn't need to prove he is the man (against guys like Whyte), he just needed a couple of tune-ups to shake the rust off, then he wanted to go straight in against AJ/Wilder. He doesn't think he needs to work up the rankings again, basically... and found it insulting that Eddie wanted him to prove himself again.
