Will you be paying for this trash tomorrow night???
"Though lots of fans have been waiting an age for Paul and Fury to go toe to toe, others aren't as excited, especially after seeing how much the pay-per-view's gonna cost them.
In the UK, the fight will be available to watch on BT Sport Box Office PPV, and will set you back £19.95.
If that sounds a little steep to you, you're not alone.
Plenty have taken to social media to express their anger and disappointment at having to pay that kind of price to see a former Disney star go up against a Love Island contestant.
Reacting to the news, one person joked: "I would prefer to buy two tubs of Lurpak."
Another dismissive fan commented: "World’s gone. Seriously. £19.95 used to get you AJ/Klitschko, Brook/Golovkin, Froch/Groves - with cracking undercards too. It’s absolutely embarrassing."
Tyson Fury - “The two YouTube people get to battle it out for the king of the YouTubers.
“It’s going to be fun, and I expect Tommy to chin him. If he doesn’t he can stay in Saudi Arabia.”
Eddie Hearn - “I have had a total U-turn on this fight. I thought Jake Paul was going to win this fight. I think Jake Paul has absolutely no chance to win this fight at all.
“If Tommy Fury comes out aggressively and puts it on Jake Paul, this fight will not go two rounds.
Floyd Mayweather – “It’s good that Jake Paul is able to take his social media following and get some new eyes on the sport of boxing.
“And it’s a good match up with those two, may the best man win.
“But this sport is something you can’t play with. Boxing is something you can’t play with.
“When you finally face a fighter who can really, really fight, then you’re going to find out what you’ve really got in the sport of boxing.”
Josh Taylor - “This one has been coming for a while and dragging on a bit,”
“At the start I thought Tommy Fury would wipe the floor with Jake Paul because he’s just a YouTube guy and he’s not great.
“He’s still not great, but he’s improved a hell of a lot and he’s been putting in a lot of work and training with the best trainers over in America, putting in hard work.
“So, I think it’s actually a hard fight for Tommy. I’m actually edging a little bit towards Jake Paul with the more I’m watching and the more I’m seeing, but it wouldn’t be a great look for Tommy Fury if he gets beat.”
John Fury - “Tommy will destroy Jake Paul, he’ll be laughing when he’s going to the ring, because it’s easy money. Easy fighting.
“We’ve done our hard work in the gym, back here in Bolton. We’ve done the work; we’ve done the grind. Nine weeks, over 100 rounds of sparring, with good class men who can fight.
“We’ve not started boxing 18 months ago. Jake Paul can have everybody around him in the world blowing smoke up his ring piece, telling him how good he is.
“So, fake Jake is copping it. That’s what fake Jake’s getting, a good hiding, and put straight in his place…
“Tommy is a world class fighter, and he’ll prove it, he’ll prove it, don’t take my word for it, switch on the TV.
“I’ve never been wrong yet. This guy don’t get stuff wrong, because if Tommy was going to embarrass me, he wouldn’t be in the fight game. Remember that.”

I'd back Fury here for sure, except for the unknown as to whether this will be a straight result of not - could easily see either Fury losing in an 'odd' way, going down when the punch doesn't look all that big, or he fights great and surprise, the judges don't exactly see it that way.
Too big a risk of this not being 'straight' as a fight IMO. |
