    UK treated Tyson Fury like an outcast because he was a gypsy, USA embraced the fact that he’s a gypsy that doesn’t give a ****. Best thing Fury did was move to USA.


    Hence nice to see Fury doing well now and earning millions along the way.
    Agreed, and history will remember him largely as an American attraction and fighter, he's been adopted here, due to a great personality, the heart of a lion, and intelligent marketing. A natural star. The first true natural star since ODLH.

    Fury is the golden goose. The cash cow. The rematch will be 4 mil buys 2 mil gate not including overseas. This is the thrilla in Manila of our era.

      At least we got the rematch pretty quick between Fury/Wilder.Its what boxing needs eg "2 top prime fighters facing each other" to help put in my view where boxing belongs eg number 1 sport in the world.

        I'm glad that Fury has moved to America. UK fans are mostly Eddie Hearn/Matchroom zombies.

          Eh??? such an ignorant viewpoint. Boxing fans in the UK are exactly that - fans of boxing; and they're not really different to other boxing fans throughout the rest of the world. UK fans are more likely to know more about (and support) UK fighters in exactly the same way that US fans are with US fighters and Mexican fans are with Mexican fighters. The the love/hate relationship that Eddie Hearn has with boxing fans is nothing short of comical. I'm not particularly a fan of his but he's got lots people talking about boxing and by all accounts (well that of his fighters at least) he pays fighters well, so what's the problem?... Apart from the fact he may not promote a fighter that you follow or may not be from your country, that is...

          Have a word with yourself man.

                Nope, the vast majority of boxing fans in the UK are casual football fans who have been brainwashed by Fast Eddie into thinking the likes of Anthony Joshua and Tony Bellew are elite fighters, whereas in reality, they're a bunch of bums.

                The only elite fighters in the UK are Tyson Fury and Josh Taylor, both of whom are non-matchroom fighters.

                  That's just an ignorant viewpoint based on your perception of all things 'true' on the internet... what you read on a boxing forum doesn't represent fact, it's just opinion and conjecture!
