What Eff Pandas said there is true ... but Arum isn't retarded!

He knows that Fury isn't just a a very talented boxer, he's a natural and charismatic performer too. Give him a stage, and a crowd, and he'll give you a show.

An investment is the right way to look at Fury/Schwartz.

I'm sure Arum knew that the event itself was going to cost him money. But after the event, footage of Fury's ring walk, and him slipping salvos of punches on the ropes without getting touched, went viral on the internet and got a lot attention in the mainstream media.

That's going to pay dividends going forward. I'm expecting Fury's next fight in the US to be against a live opponent and that it will sell very well indeed.

I'm sure people want to see some wierd looking fat clown dance around like a buffoon all the while unable to spark a BUM ahahahahahahah

Arum and ESPN know exactly what they're doing. Fury is the real deal and Americans will start paying attention when he inevitably starts smashing all opposition

Are you looking forward to watching AJ's last ever fight? Your last memory of him will be seeing him getting sparked by a Mexican darts player. Enjoy!

Please give us more pillow hands!why on earth would we want to see someone get knocked SPARK OUT like braezeale! Bullocks! We want to see Jenny Craig and his pillow hands! War malignaggi fury!

We see why Arum talking about Wilder Fury could be next. Wilder doesn't need Fury for anything. After Ortiz it should be straight to Ruiz. Fury brings nothing to the rematch and is getting less than the 50/50 he was offered last time

Arum needs to learn from Oscar and not release the actual live gate and ticket comp numbers when you're announcing a fake sell out crowd.

Arum didn't release these numbers though. I emailed the NSAC and got a response from them yesterday and it seems like Jed I Goodman got a response from then around the same time I did.

Promoters hardly EVER release gate numbers. Those are just public information so someone is able to get then fairly easy…. Unless it involves a fight in NY, and then it's almost impossible.

Don't expect these clowns to understand business. Most of them are basement dwellers living off the state.

OH yeah looks like a great business move mate! Let's pay the fat bozo 12.5 million to fight a bum in front of 5000 people hahahahaha

I think people is getting smarter and not paying for BS fights, which needs to be done in order to stop this trend started by the gay one.

[Jab jab boom]

He needs to learn from Oscar how to make a star lol fury is BUMCITY hahahahahaha

well I don't know about that since arum is the one who made Oscar a star, Floyd, Cotto and others. Oscar has really only made 1 star. Fury won't ever be a megastar though.

[sicko]

ESPN not happy I'm sure and how can they be? So the pressure is ON! That could explain why Arum all of a sudden wants to make Wilder vs Fury II sooner rather than Later. Before it was 3 Fights before Wilder, now it is "We Can Make Wilder Fight This Year..."

This did not do well and neither did Crawford vs Khan

Arum Roster is a bit thin unfortunately so they probably don't want to sign Big Baby Miller but they're in NEED right now

[MC Hammer]

Fights? He's had one fight, against a complete unknown.

You have no idea what goes on behind the scenes re Arums buisness model so stop pretending to know otherwise.

Rest assured, Fury will end up earning a lot more money in America than AJ ever will. AJ only has one fight left before he's retired.

Arum went from" the rematch is a year out" to "it can be next" immediately following the Shwartz fight. He saw how bad the tickets sold and that no one was talking about the fight and realized that he needs to cash this dude out.

Freddie Roach: Anthony Joshua’s been going downhill ever since Wladimir Klitschko fight

Roach on having trained Andy Ruiz in the past, and what he made of his upset win over Anthony Joshua:

“I bet on [Ruiz]...and I like Joshua and I’m friendly with Joshua, he’s a nice guy and all that, but I think they picked the wrong guy...Every fighter in the world who trains and fights like these guys, you know why they all train? Because you never know when you’re gonna get that call. You never know. And he got the call at the right time and he was in the gym ready to go. If he was out ****in’ around and wasn’t ready, he would’ve had to say no to that fight. But he was in the gym, he said yes, and he was ready to go for it and now we have a new Mexican champion of the world.”

On what happens in the Ruiz-Joshua rematch:

“Same thing. Because if Joshua doesn’t completely change his ways — ever since he fought Klitschko he’s been going downhill a little bit. A lot more muscle, he looks really good and so forth, I think he has trouble carrying that muscle and he’s been fatigued in his last couple fights. He’s been getting tired before the end, and I don’t think that muscles make fighters. Like ‘oh, he has big biceps so he must punch hard’ — gimme a break. I’d like to say he needs a new team and so forth, and I’d like to be that part of that team because I do like him, he’s a friend, yes, but I’m not trying to steal a fighter [laughs]. But the thing is, I think he needs to go back to what he did when he won the Olympics, ‘cause that’s when he was a really, really good fighter, in my opinion.”

On if he thinks it matters where the fight takes place:

“90,000 people in the U.K., who wouldn’t want to fight in front of those people? I mean, same result, I don’t care where you fight.”
