Comments Thread For: Arum: Fury-Joshua is Biggest Heavyweight Fight Since Ali-Frazier 1

[PeepeePoopooMan]

Lol arum on crack. I personally wouldn't have cared if this fight never happened

Arum is just wondering to the English and Welsh crowd....we all know this fight only matters in the U.K. and possibly the woman/***/Turkish journalist hating capitol of the world Saudi Arabia. And even no one in Saudi really cares they just want a spectacle. The only fans who care en masse are U.K. fans. Fury has been successful in the USA because of his fights with wilder, which set the record for live gate for a heavyweight title fight without 90,000 tickets sold at £5 prices. Joshua’s American debut consisted of a beating at the hands of a pudgy out of shape Mexican American with fast hands.....and a gut.
The U.K. it is......

Arum is the master of B.S, biggest fight since Ali, Frazier? �� GTFOH!, I will say this is the Biggest HW fight for the Brits, and of course you will have hard core boxing fans interested, but it's not going to be big here, if the fight was staged in the States it would get more attention but not a huge fight. This fight doesn't even put a dent in for example, what Tyson vs Holyfield, or Lewis vs Tyson, or even a Holyfield vs Lewis, ect ect, there's plenty of big HW fights since Ali, Frazier. I think Arum said that Crawford vs Brook The biggest WW fight since Leonard, Hagler....

Didn't you just tell Eddie not to talk about this fight

[Dustin Tanner]

I thought he told Hearn not to talk about this fight?

what a difference a day makes lol

It's the greatest UK HW fight in a very long ass time, idk about the biggest HW fight in 50 years. I feel like Bowe vs Real Deal & others have been bigger than this fight.

That said it's a big fight, but let's not start sucking each other's ****s about it or whatever Bob is doing here.

Tyson vs Holyfield I & II...and if there is a third fight it will likely be as big or bigger than Fury/AJ

Holyfield vs Bowe and Lewis

Arum never seems to amaze with with his nonsense.

When will people on here learn that life doesn’t revolve around America. Bring the biggest fight in America is a different statement to the biggest fight.

I don’t disagree that Joshua wilder may have been even bigger, but it will do a minimum 2 mil Ppv in the uk, maybe much higher and will be watched significantly across the world.

But if you wanna be involved in big time boxing you have to come to America in my opinion. Didn't Eddie Hearn teach you this? Joshua/fury may be better off in the UK because Tyson fury couldn't sell 100 tickets here and people haven't seen enough of Anthony Joshua to care who he is. American fight fans are smart for the most part excluding wilder fans of course. We don't celebrate hyped up fighters and declare them the greatest like they do over there in the UK.

And yet you have some idiots that will take whatever he says as law even when they've admitted once before that he can't be trusted....now that's not only a moron...that's a dangerous moron right there.
