The problem with getting Fury more exposure

[BillyBoxing]

Wilder ducked by his cherry pick gone wrong...haha what a clown

[Scipio2009]

People are gonna be turned off watching Fury pitty pat his way to a 12 rd decision against competition who can't push him to the level Wilder pushed him. His dethroning of Klitschko was the most underwhelming, least violent, uninspiring heavyweight fight I've ever seen.

Styles make fights. Wilder's style is perfect to bring out the best in Fury.

^^^ this, and other things

Fury will become like Mayweather.

People appreciate skills.

The thing is if you put him on ESPN+, which Top Rank will, you aren't really building the fight up any bigger than what it really is. Let's say ESPN+ has around 2.5-3M subscribers right now, are we really to think 25% of the subscribers will tune in to his next fight? That's what, 500-600k viewers? If they put him on the linear network then that is totally different. Then I can buy it. Fair point on his fight likely being boring, but he will make up for it with his post fight antics.

Skill wise he is well above every heavy weight boxer and in my opinion would beat AJ easily, I think only Wilder has the puncher chance against him and even so. couldn't finish him when he had the chance, a rematch would probably be a one sided Fury's victory. Fans want heavy weights to impose brute force, like Mike Tyson,so I don't think 12 rounds easy decisions could help Fury; one other thing is that he is a ticking bomb that can go off at any time, personally I would put him in big fights immediately and get my money worth, before something happens.

Not really. Fury is far from unbeatable as Cunningham showed, it's just not that hard to outbox wilder.

Great point I have been telling people all week who wants to watch Fury fight unless its vs the best(Wilder,AJ).The LAST thing he needs is exposure because once the USA casuals see him fight will be the last lol.And even the Wilder fight the only part that was exciting was the KDs Wilder scored and Fury getting up from last.His fight with Wlad was one step from negative fightin(although an important step)just one small step from Dirrell vs Froch and Huey Fury vs Parker.

I agree with everthing except Wilder having a tougher time next fight.One of the hardest things about fightin Fury is obv his skills and size but even more so is his unorthodox style.Its impossible to get any sparring partner that gives you anywhere near his style(except H Fury).But Wilder has seen him now for 12rds(scoring KDs in 2 of last 4)and unorthodox fighters don't have the same success in rematches alot of times.By the way cong**** on winning last years Pick um just found out today if I remember right you were doing well all year cong**** again.

HBO tried to push the Klitschko brothers for a decade but the American public was never interested. Putting Fury in against a Joseph Parker-type fight on ESPN is not going to help sell this thing at all.

Saying that, Arum isn't interested in building this fight. The fact of the matter is that he has a lot of dates to fill and Fury will like draw just enough eyeballs for ESPN to be satisfied even if he is fighting Pulev or Parker.

If he’s gives Espn platform to promote himself he may be able to attract a audience based off his personality. Mayweather didn’t need to crack at WW to be the main guy in the sport

But Top Rank will do like they do best and pick opponents for Fury so he can shine and he may not be a heavy hitter but he can get guys out and He’ll probably be lined up against fighters that Fury can mow down
