    Some people here....SMH
    He doesn't hate the fight. However, he anticipates a Fury loss so he's gonna do everything possible to take away from a Wilder victory.

        Yup. This is like the 5th thread where he's tried to do such.

          lol so true, why does it even matter to us as boxing fans which fight makes the most money. In terms of quality it's a great fight, don't care if it's a dud financially, I don't know anyone who isn't going to watch this.

            I think it's a pretty good fight and was pleasantly surprised when it was announced. I'm more of a reader here than I am a poster. Been following boxing since the early 90's. I couldn't care less what the fighters are making or how many buys it does or who promotes who. What matters to me is what gets done between rounds 1-10 (12). Everything before and after is just talk.

              100%. Only AJ’s personal **** suckers will tell you otherwise.

                Thing is he doesnt look very fast on hes feet to me, and hes getting noticeably slower the more weight he gains. Im not saying he cant punch but even in the Washington fight he was getting the look of an arm puncher who finds it abit tiring loading anything up at all. In fact he reminds me alot of Danny Williams, who felt more and more secure in hes bulk advantage, a kind of percieved insulation against punishment. I think it worked against Tyson, but failed badly against Klitschko, who was long and rangy and who he couldn't get close to. I think Furys range against Millers slow feet, and Furys head movement make it an awkward night. I think speed looks like the way to trouble Fury ala Cunningham. There's a such thing as too heavy. Another one was Browne coming in so heavy against Dillian Whyte. Skilled guys just use you as target practice at that point
                I think as a young fighter Miller has to ask himself how much he can carry in the ring. But then again Apparently the strategy of Dempsey, (with some differences Frazier) and Tyson, etc of bobbing and weaving also tends to not encourage longevity. Longevity may not be desired? Its something Miller does have to consider because as he gets older he can't fight at those weights.

                Danny Williams huh? I would have to look at that with some circumspection. Danny was fragile mentally in a way Miller just is not,. but you may be on to something physically...

                Regarding a general assesment of Fury, I agree with one big caveat: If we are talking about a Fury who is at the top of his game...Absolutely, he would have the wind, piss and vinegar to pick off Miller at outside range all night. However, I think if he is lacking conditioning, he might have a problem with a bull in a china shop type bruiser.

                Speed is the holy grail and it is a consideration for any fighter, Fury included. I am in the very minority position of thinking Cunningham is under estimated as a puncher.

                  Shameful trolling here. The biggest heavyweight fight in the past 2 years and probably the most legacy making fight since aj klit.
                  If either one ko the other guy, it's already top hw in the division.

                  You aj fans hate skills and talent these days.

But for the life of me, when I think of the latest and greatest I never consider: Wow I wonder how much money hearn made off that one!! Poor Oscar, will he be able to afford silk material if he promotes this one?

                      How does the financial outcome of any match materially affect your life? your concerns? your fandom? Gatti Brought in more people than most, made Floyd look small prior to when Floyd fought Oscar... So what does it mean?

                      I am terribly jealous of Arum, nobody makes sure my developments are profitable! No tenant says "Hey big D I love/Hate my acre BUT did you make some cabbage on it?"
