    All businessmen make bad investments, not everything turns to gold. I don't believe it was entirely Arum's idea to sign Fury either. I believe the networks looked at the views the KD's the Wilder-Fury fight did around the world and thought they were on to a winner. I don't believe they'd have offered them what they did if they knew how poorly the fights would do.

      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.

        Yes fights. I was talking about Wilder too.

        Again you're blaming it on Arum. ESPN themselves had input in that deal i'm sure when it's clear it's a disaster Arum will let everyone know that.

        Joshua made 30 mil for the Ruiz fight and will make it again for the rematch. He's doing fine. Stop trying to deflect.

          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!

            This clearly proves that fat Fury is the biggest star in boxing like snake Warren and snake Arum told us all this time.

                In the USA you eat what you kill and Fury will have to up his opposition as those fans can't be fooled. It's not like the UK where people pay to watch someone wan.king in the ring.

                  " Smashing all opposition ".
                  " Destroys Wilder " ? GTFOH
                  You're acting like Furys some great finisher . But wasn't he a Pure boxer ?

                  Anybody who's seen him fight knows that ain't happening .

                    We do know that it was part of fury deal with top rack to build up into a wilder - fury 2. Especially since Joshua got tko by ruiz in 7.
                    What are you guys complaining about?
                    Just trolling to defend Joshua, the money making machine. Same defense everyone had for ggg. Good champion not great.

                      Fury can do it all and finishes fights when he wants. When he's on the top of his game he's levels above everyone else. He can either comfortably outbox everyone or hurt them if he decides to sit down on his punches.
