The event itself would be over hyped and that will be sufficient to sell it out. We are a nation of event junkies. If Garth Brooks can sell 400,000 tickets off belting out a few country music tunes then Katie Taylor will sellout Croker no problem with the right marketing.

should make her fight 4 nights in a row

He did seem like a bit of a dick in that one, in fairness I've always liked him anytime I've hesrd him speak.

I love Fury but he constantly contradicts himself, was funny watching your man rip Fury out asking him if he had figured out how to close his phone/end the call.

You can go through Boxrecs top 15 HWs and see that there are better options there, probably just don't sell as well as they aren't as well known to the general public. This is essentially a warm up fight for March/April but would like to have seen him fight Hrgovic or Ruiz, its not all about money etc. and he could do with a few decent names on his record as its pretty light when compared with Joshua for example. Joe Joyce would be the one that would have sold and would have been a big test, Warren etc. Forget that one when going through their lists. I did see something though about that being planned for next summer though.

An absolute bullshit fight the geordie lad was right to call it for what it is!

Fury isn't a straightforward character. FOr all the good things he says about mental health and life's struggles there's plenty of mad shit he's done in his career as well!!

That is a fascinating interview on so many levels. The interviewer retained his composure brilliantly too despite Fury trying to bully him. Fury has major anger management issues to get so easily rattled. He is a talented boxer but I always thought he was a bit of a sc**bag who played the mental health card for his own benefit. It will be interesting to see the trajectory his career takes post retirement when he doesn't have the same level of hangers on pandering to him.

Oh yeah John Fury is a charming man himself. Loves a holiday in the USA as well. I don't mind Peter Fury the uncle his interviews are usually pretty good and knows his boxing.

Pete was a lovely fella around Manchester in the 80s

Saw a BT thing on with Warren, Frampton etc. What annoys me is the irrational bias promoters have for their stable. Warren has ran through the boxrec names a few times over the past weeks with a justification as to why Chisora was first available name on the list. He skipped by Joyce saying he was on holiday, which is not a reason and not one that would impact a title shot. He also excluded Ruiz as he is fighting Wilder in a WBC eliminator, in otherwords for the mandatory slot. I don't understand how the journalists never dig further into the promoters BS though. So in Warren's words Ruiz is unavailable as he is going to fight Wilder for a shot at Furys title? Surely then Ruiz would take the title shot without having to fight someone to get that title shot.

i dont know weather to like the true geordie or not.

[ONeill]

You could tell Fury had it in for him from the start, or maybe he was just in a bad place. TG probably held back a bit there and could have poked further holes in what Fury was saying.

The True Geordie has has to apologize after he made comments about muslims directed and Andrew tate.
