Comments Thread For: Arum: Fury Card Will Generate More New ESPN+ Subs Than UFC

[MulaKO]

I don't think he does this time.

I think his mojo is lacking these days. Look at Loma. Look at Bud. These guys have star ability, but they aren't really close to being on a popularity level to their skill. And when was the last time Bob didn't have one of the biggest draws in boxing under his banner? Idk but its been awhile I know that.

And I don't see how Bob makes Fury big in the US unless he lets Fury be the bad guy who people pay to see lose.

Your right and it’s totally normal that he’s lost a step or two
But in hindsight , I don’t see any of the mentioned guys starving
Nobody is flying out of the nest so he’s gotta be doing something right
Now Fury , I think that is a losing case for Bobfather
To turn Fury into a star in North America is going to be a real tough sell , imo an honest failure , an achievement to hard to conquer
And Fury seems to shoot himself in the foot every three to four months

ESPN investing in boring coked up PED abusing sh*i*t.

There are fighters who are good boxers that are exciting to watch and there are those that are boring. Tyson Fury has skills for a big man but is boring as hell. The drama in the Wilder fight was the power of Wilder. Do you guys remember the Klitschko fight? Horrible! I'll watch this card because I am a hardcore boxing fan but those aren't the eyeballs they are banking on.

Who's talking about starving? I'm talking about superstars in the game. And TR doesn't have any for the first time in forever in this current downtrend they've been in since Manny fall off.

But yea I definitely don't see how Bob is making Fury a star in the US with how he promotes. Idk that any promoter is good at promoting a bad guy in general for that matter. I think the fighter does that best by himself so either they go solo or the promoter just stays out of it & collects the bigger money.

Finally it's hit the listings for Australia a few days before the fight. It will be on FITE TV for $23 - and they'll give you a $15 credit to start with (so it costs $8).

If it was worth anything then one of the networks would have picked it up.

Think it's fair to say there's close to zero interest in this fight.
