Comments Thread For: Fury Claims He Will Donate His Entire Fight Purse To The Poor

If this is legit - great stuff. Deserves kudos.

But, pessimistically speaking..I don't think handing over dollar bills to strippers looking to get through college, counts as helping the needy though.

As long as he gets food on needy tables, I'll overlook some madness. He talks about home and kids, so I don't think the strippers get much out of him. Honestly, he could run for office already.

I really hope he's being honest. I'll have mad disrespect for him if he's faking philanthropy to sound noble.

Only on boxing threads can you read absolute fu cking idiots ripping on Noble efforts of athletes that put their life on the line to put on a show for the same fu cking idiots. Jesus you people have your brains up your azz...

Great stuff. I'd like hear what his wife has to say about that. I could see him donating a big chunk but not all of it. Either way, good for him. Respect....

Tyson Fury has claimed he plans to give his seven-figure pay day for Saturday's fight with Deontay Wilder to "the poor and to build homes for the homeless". The undefeated 30-year-old is expected to earn a career-high purse when he challenges WBC heavyweight champion Wilder at Los Angeles' Staples Center. After being such a controversial figure he has gained admirers for being so open about his struggles with mental health - and insists there are still others he wants to help.

I think his mental illness has started and he needs to be saved from himself.

Very true comments by Fury

"I believe all kids should make their own money in life because if they don't, they won't appreciate it," he added.

"It's easy to spend someone else's money and the money I've earned is practically blood money. My kids have to make their own living and make their own way in life; they won't be living off my name or reputation because that's too easy a route.

"You see many of these rich people's kids doing nothing because they had it too easy. I never had it easy, I had to work for whatever I got. I was working from very young, everything I wanted in life I had to work for."

"You can't take it with you so I might as well do something with it and help out people who can't help themselves."

Much respect for Fury on this one if he does indeed decide to give his check to help the homeless. Even if it's not 100% of his earnings, every dime counts.

Does anyone seriously believe a word the nutjob says?

That's incredible to me.

Well it's obvious the guy is still crazy. Whether he intends to do it or not is just ******. Its the governments job to provide for the poor. Look at all the taxes you pay and then they still want you to donate to charities. Do something more useful with it like donate to SPCA. Humans can work for a living. Dogs can't.

Prediction: Fury starts a gofundme with a homeless guy named Bobbitt.
