Comments Thread For: Arum: Fury Will Attract The U.S. Fans Like George Foreman Did

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

TYSON FURY is ready to go from king of the ring to champion of the chat shows as he aims to become a big hit in America. The British heavyweight faces little-known German Tom Schwarz on June 15 in Las Vegas. It is the first fight in his 80m deal with US broadcasting giants ESPN and American promoter Top Rank as he plots to take America by storm.

Why are they still reporting his deal is worth 80 mil when Arum himself said it isn't?

[Redd Foxx]

I know he's just promoting but I don't see the Forman and Ali comparisons. He doesn't have anywhere near the talent or charm of Ali. Not a hint of the crushing power of Forman.
Just be straight and sell him for what he is. Don't pretend he has anything to do with past greats because the comparison only makes Fury look less significant. Fury can stand on his own.

[Dr Rassclart]

Foreman could punch, Ali had all the skills and wit. The comparison with Fury doesn’t bare close examination.
The AJ comments are simply boring and irrelevant.

No idea why when arum said deal only gets that big if he fights Joshua/wilder in those 5 fights

Unlike Mikey Garcia, Amir Khan goes into a fight intending to win. His boxing ability, which is phenomenal, could give Terence Crawford fits. He is capable of pulling the upset.

Breh the old fart brings the laughs he also said people will tell their kids & grandchildren about Crawford vs Khan 😂

That arena will be empty af come fight night!

Different era, the sport will have to be more accessible to the average sports fan and casual who accidentally stumbles on to a boxing card on free tv or basic cable but I do agree that fury is the most charasmatic figure in boxing. He has the gift of gab.

promoter gonna promote...

[Squ□redCircle34]

No is gonna give a fûçk about Fury if he isn’t fighting AJ or Wilder again!

Bob should just promote Fury as a modern Picasso in the ring with a foul mouth to add!

A mammoth of a man that moves like a salsa dancer!

I didn’t know they had comedians in boxing
