why does fury embrace las vegas but AJ ran from it

[Curt Henning]

how come?

tyson fury is genuinely excited to be fighting there

AJ once called it "the mecca of boxing"

but AJ also said he wouldnt sell his soul to fight there, or anywhere in america for that matter, for 50 million smackers....

i could see it already...aj v. wilder in vegas

"former champ joshua skips town ahead of wilder fight..checks into treatment facility"

[Redd Foxx]

Maybe because Fury knows his opponent is a no hoper.
I think Hearn didn't want to bring AJ to the US at all. He claimed his next goal after the Wlad fight was to make AJ a global star, but he made ZERO effort into the dazn deal forced him to. Why they chose nyc, I dunno. Maybe because they knew they could pack more British fans in there.

my guess is just AJ is a poosy

but that almost seems too easy right? nobody can be that much of a poosy right? to claim vegas is the mecca...and to ask for 50 million? then run when it was all presented.....

schwarz is a no hoper for sure....

maybe the brits wanted to see scummy times square and the **** part of nyc? i dunno...i mean...vegas is fine...just as scummy...and they did show up big for pac/hatton and hatton/floyd...

I go back and forth on that. There's things I said about AJ years ago; mentally weak, chinny, no stamina. But, when he was winning it was hard to justify those claims so I shut up about it. Tell you what though, everything I once thought seems to be coming to light. I'll give the guy the benefit of the doubt until he has his chance to redeem himself but I suspect Hearn knew the dude was mentally weak and did his best to protect him.

i get it....vegas is scary....churches and righteous people everywhere....nobody wants/needs that

you wanna go to the big tangerine....see all the sights like the statue of puberty and the empire skate building where jussie smollet learned how to rollerskate

Tyson Fury is a modern day gladiator. He believes he is the best and he is willing to back up his talk. Anthony Joshua is a scripted, hypejob science experiment, who has panic attacks in the dressing room.

[Kezzer]

Another silly thread? When has Joshua ran from Vegas? He was going to fight Klitschko at Vegas but Klitschko turned the rematch down.

Argument ended

Why did Ruiz fight Joshua but wilder ran from him and 100m

- -Must be AJ don't want to embrace or even getta whiff of yer stink...next!

I think New York is easier for the UK fans to get to.
He seems to have taken to it, talking about having the rematch there.

Fury is fighting Tom Schwarz.

Tom. Schwarz.
