Oh wow! Killer fight! Let me get my wallet! (said no one)

[A.K]

Rogan feels like fury is the goat I think mma fans are fury fans so

[pugil1st]

I won't be subbing for this fight. That's madness.

Bob still got it ! Selling that old, beaten-up clunker like its a classic car that the glitterati don't know about yet.

[A.K]

Is he even trying anymore? I feel like he's the grandpa trying to do the "my thumb comes off" trick to a grandkid who is in high school. This dude is starting to really lose it.

It’s bob bro he been doing this shat for decades I don’t see a difference between 50 years ago and today he’s the same guy

Bob the builder of bad fights. He will probably understand how bad it is after he see's the views.

Dude is 87 years old and still grinding! At every TR fight card and makes sure to watch all of the non-televised UC fights. Sure he says some dumb stuff from time to time....Okay maybe majority of the time, but you have to respect his hustle. Bob is a legend at the no question GOAT at this.

No pu$$y boys now days only watch mma cage crap. Maybe in 1999 but not in 2019

Fight is here in 5 days. No vibe at all for this fight. Haven't seen one mfer wearing a Fury shirt or hat yet.

Bob is nuts with this Fury sh^t. I dig Fury & think he's probably the best guy if he keeps his sh^t together, but Bob is f#cking delusional about his potential to gain a critical mass of fans in the US. And idk if he's a guy people will travel for like they do Joshua & like they did Hatton & others back in the day.

Probably not for this fight, but according to Mannix/Idec, signing Fury was pretty much ESPN's call. They wanted to get in the HW mix and he was obviously the one top guy they could sign.

This fight will struggle to sell, but Fury's signing is a long play type of move. Will see it come to fruition with the Wilder rematch in early 2020.
