Channel 5 love Fury, and fair point building him up because they have his contract and can do, but don't act like he's the only bloke to challenge the Klitschko's, because Price would fucking smash him in 4, lets be fair.

They've surely got to get it on, the fight after next.
Stick them on the same bill next time out, Price vs Audley (can't think of anyone else that hasn't been knocked the fuck out about a million times, or maybe Richard Towers?) and Fury vs Airich/Mormeck/Banks....
Will build the showdown nicely....

I think the problem is that Price is a nobody.
Nobody knows who he is.
Fury has always been on terrestrial telly and has a funny name that people will remember.
Price.... he's just a quiet, respectful lad from Liverpool who happens to be British champion.
I'd like to think they'd go for it, but casuals are more likely to buy into a foreigner with a pretty looking record as the opponent, ''OMG, he's fighting an American/Russian/Brazilian, look at how many knockouts!''

Nonsense pal, Price is far more marketable then any of Fury's recent opponents, and it's an all british clash.

TBH how long did Channel 4 have Sesame Street?. Big Bird could well become a star on Channel 5...
After Chisora loses next week i'd like to see him vs Price. I want to see Price face some problems in a fight. Is he a flat track bully?. I want to see him answer some questions. I don't even think he's lost a round in his career yet has he?. Not his fault he's doing his job with a + all the time but i still reserve judgement on him. Impressive but we've seen people in past come undone when forced into a fight.
Fury gets a lot of stick but he's talented, I have no problems with him stepping down in level to develop his skills. Mick's protecting his main man for obvious reasons. The lad had a ill child, his head was a total mess and he was walking a tightrope in fights but entertaining the fans in quick succession may i add. Now he's had a few soft touches to just tweak a few things.

regardless, undefeated olympic medallist from liverpool, with previous with fury is more marketable to the channel 5 viewing public(who i can only assume are one step up from blobs of sentient slime) than 40 year old vinny 'who the fuck am i?' maddalone.

Oh yeah, Price won't be beating any Wladimir's but I think he could potentially reach that tier. I mean, the guy is pretty damn big, with really good power and solid technique. I'm interested to see what he becomes, although I think a Fury fight is a must.
