Tyson Fury went on a verbal rampage earlier today, when he shot a video for his social network accounts.



Fury has been furious for the last few days, because IBO/WBA/WBO/IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko revealed he was injured and withdrew from their planned fight on October 24th in Dusseldorf, Germany.



The fight was set to be packed on Sky Pay-Per-View with Kell Brook's defense of the IBF welterweight title against Diego Chaves in Sheffield.



After that fight fell apart, Hearn offered Fury the opponent to appear in a stay-busy fight on the undercard.



That offer did not sit very well with Fury, who thinks very little of Brook's card.



“I saw Eddie Hearn. I call him Eddie 'The B*tch Hearn.' He put out a tweet saying he wants me on the undercard in an eight rounder. What does he think I am [starts laughing]? Eddie, have a day off. Have a day off mate," Fury said.



"I’m the number one mandatory in the world, and he wants to put me in an eight rounder against some random guy. He thought I was born sometime last week, green as grass. Unfortunately for Eddie, I was born the 12th of August 1988. I'm repping for the people who was born in the 80's."



"I’m going to have to wait for Wlad. I’m contracted in. I can’t take no more fights in between. So what can I do? I'm probably going go to Dusseldorf on the 24th of October to ,meet up with all me fans over there and get drunk. Sounds like an idea for me. Celebrate the f***ed up nobody wants to fight me."



"I don’t know how Kell Brook is going to go on, on a pay-per-view fight with somebody [Diego Chaves] that nobody even knows his name or who he’s fighting. It can’t be pay-per-view, so I dont know what happening."



Fury says his bout with Klitschko may not happen until February of next year, because Sky doesn't have a pay-per-view date available before the end of the year.



"They are saying now it may not be rescheduled until February. They are now saying the fight may not happen in November because Sky don't have a date," fury said.

 
Joshua/Whyte as ppv was already clear, we all knew that, K2 think they can just shift it back a month but it doesn't work like that cos Sky already have their plans in place, so if they want the same pay day they'll have to wait till next year.

You have to think how this affects Frampton/Quigg as that was mooted for ppv in Jan/Feb with AJ/Teper in March (basically no one interferes with the AJ ppv's from here on in).
 
Really do think it's pretty disgraceful that they're happy to put AJ as PPV in a British title fight and then onto European! As much as I like him and want to see him do well, you almost want to see fat boy Teper full him in as a big fuck you to Hearn/Sky!

One of the funniest nights i can remember is reading about Khan getting flattened inside a minute after they had the cheek to put him on PPV!
 
What would be better for his boxing career. Taking an 8 rounder he'd probably win in devastating fashion or going on the piss? He's not been particularly injury prone and this Wlad fight is obviously not happening this side of 2016.
 
Joshua-Whyte was always gonna be PPV, thought they might ditch the Brook one though just on common sense, think this will be a PR disaster. Wonder if it's a case of not upsetting Brook that they're going ahead.

For Fury Nov 21 seemed the best date given there's already a Matchroom card with a World title fight but apparently they're looking at Nov 28 so fuck knows what happens now.

I think that's definitely the case. I'm assuming Brook's purse is conditional on PPV, without it he'll probably get the hump & piss off to Haymon..... To be honest I'm more concerned about how this effects the show on the 12th.

I managed to bag VIP tickets from work so I was hoping Hearn would stack it up big time... I've gotta feeling all his attention will be focused on the 24th & he won't bother throwing anymore money at the 12th.. It's sold out now so he probably won't give a shit.
 
It's a mental situation this,and a perfect example of how powerful the tv networks are.

They really do control top level boxing.for all the Al haymons and Don kings you will get,they are nothing without the TV money and exposure.

Yes you're right, and in some ways you really can see why Warren made his play.

And so strange how fans prem ejaculate at the prospect of it failing.
 
% Split of the PPV?

And that cannot be worked around? Brook would be on more than Joshua wouldnt he?
Yeh Joshuas contract will include a % of the show. That includes PPV. For Wlad v Fury to be added they would need to renegotiate the deal as they would also be getting a cut. Does having Wlad v Fury add enough buys to the show to cover Joshuas share? I doubt it?

I am not defending Hearn here. Just explaining why he is doing it. His two prize assets are Brook & Joshua. They will be his priority. K2 know the value of Sky PPV because they did a 50/50 split for the Haye fight and were negotiating the deal for Froch v GGG.

It would be a damning indictment on the paying boxing public if klitschko fury didn't massively boost the ppv buys from the joshua show... but sadly you might be right i dunno.

This was the reason why I was convinced they wouldn't do a split site PPV. I never expected them to share the revenue the revenue between all the parties. Yet you reacted like I said something outrageous. Now those same issues might caused problems for the new date.

Joshua is the biggest draw in uk boxing. I don't think Fury v Wlad would add many more buys. Most of the people who will buy the Fury fight will already be buying Joshua's fight.

Although it will add value for the punters who are indecisive about about buying.

On a different note what you think to the proposed Dec 19 date for Lee-Saunders?
