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

[tonysoprano]

Bob must be smoking the good weed if the thinks the American mainstream public will fall for his garbage.

If Arum legit believes that he's lost his f#cking mind.

I dig Fury. I think Fury beats both Joshua & Wilder (& I thought he won the fight they had), but he's a lil off lets be real man.

Foreman was talking about how old he was & hamburgers. Fury's talking about h#mosexuals & *******. I mean times are different, but they aren't that mfing different.

Hmmm, I don't know about that Bob. Based on stuff that Fury has said in the past, I'm thinking he's a big risk from a sales standpoint. His beliefs and opinions are kind of out there and he battles mental illness so I expect him to come up with another gem sooner than later.

Mental illness? Or just being a fat, drunken cokehead? That's what led to his 'illness' after all.

Funny how he was never mentally ill until after he failed his PED tests..

He is pretty boring in how he fights in the ring he doesn't fight exciting like formean and he doesn't resonate like Ali or Foreman. then you say this after he pulled out the fight fans wanted to see with Wilder and replace that with a trash fight with Tom Schwartz? these comments are so cringe worthy. There is promoting and then there is going full re tard. Arum i'm sorry but

[Worick]

Fury is absolutely nothing like foreman

Big George captured our hearts and imaginations with Olympic Gold during a magical period in the Heavyweight ranks.
Arum knows damn well Fury will NEVER be NEARLY as popular as this actual legend who achieved so very much in an unimaginable and astounding career.

Foreman achieved so very much in an unimaginable and astounding career?

What, with 3 wins over Moorer, Norton and Frazier? Yeah, unimaginable there. How you can't be great with such a huge resume is anyone's guess.

You make Arum sound sane in this piece. Nothing what Foreman did was unimaginable in any way. Nor is he great.

Arum was talking about Fury doing endorsements and advertisements outside of boxing and becoming a huge name.

I doubt it. If Fury started becoming in any way a mainstream star, people would dig up his old quotes about gays and whatnot and he would be dropped from any brand immediately.

People are being held accountable for things they said on twitter about 10 years ago

wrong.

He was talking about his depression in the face off with Wlad for the rematch, which is obviously before he failed a test.

But make things up to fit your agenda.

Wrong.
test samples taken between February and March in 2015, before Fury’s first bout with Klitschko, led to an investigation by UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) officials. The paper said that Fury and his cousin “then attended a meeting in September, when he was told the levels of the steroid found were higher than the body would naturally produce”.
He then fought Wlad in Nov.

I'm not even interested in arguing about this but needed to establish some facts here.
