Driving Their Top fighters to America?
Tyson Fury has decided to relocate himself in America where he can be appreciated as a champion and a entertainer and given the respect he is deserved.
The British media hate him, the fans have little to no respect for his accomplishments and taunt hims with racial abuse about his gypsy heritage.
Khan also took a lot of abuse about his Pakistani heritage and was disliked and never respected by the media despite all his accomplishments.
Khan is much more respected in America, doesn't get the racism and has made himself a bigger star earning the big money.
Fury is hoping to follow in his footsteps and leave the UK for a more society where your accomplishments matter more than your heritage.
First Khan now Fury, Why is Racist Britain

Haven't watched the videos after the hughie fight last night. Will watch it later on
He won't retire imo.. He's got possibly two big paydays out there with joshua and wilder. He won't leave those and retire...

The reason Fury gets no love here is because he's a twat.
He spouts off about homosexuals and keeping the wife in the kitchen or on her back etc. Hardly endearing himself to the average punter on the street.
America can have him as far as I'm concerned.. he'll fit right in over there seeing as it's one of the most racist and intolerant countries on earth, although they did pan Pacquiao for similar comments so not sure how they'll take to him.
As for Khan he used the racism card when it wasn't there. He left because he was being built up as the next best thing before being embarrassed by Prescott.. and he was essentially written off which he couldn't handle so he decided he needed a chance get of scenery and trainer in Roach. He went to America to restart his career and it worked.. nothing to do with racism.

Bullsheet . Have you ever been to America ?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, and they like winners.
You don't get fans at their sports stadiums chanting racist abuse as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I really reading this.. America isn't racist?

agree with the above post but i want tyson fury to stay here. we've waited so long some good heavyweight boxers. be a shame if he retired or left the uk
its simple
if the furys are moaning about sponsorships, recognition, endorsment deals, getting on quiz shows that anthony joshua can get then they need to reign their views in . I suspect its too late for that now but thats what they needed to do. Fit in with the sheep view of the world. Do what the powers be say and then you'll reap the monetary rewards.
As it stands, they're leaving their views hanging out for all the public to see. Their right to do that but dont expect the money to come rolling in from sponsors etc if you want to do that. Its one or the other

You obviously haven't seen that press conference
I find him entertaining to watch pre-fights, but he hasn't helped himself with some of his comments over the years.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yet despite Iron Mike's homophobic, racist and sexist comments he was appreciated by Britain and the fans
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So now we're airbrushing and revising history?
Iron Mike was vilified over here and was even banned from the country ffs.
As for Bruno still being loved by the UK.. it's because he has a mental illness. Turns out Brit's can show compassion and can forgive people for actions committed while being unwell.
This must be a wind up.

The OP has a huge chip on his shoulder, Britain isn't a racist country, sure it has racial issues but no where near as bad as the U.S. or France, or Spain or Israel or Australia.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This
We have one of the most open and tolerant societies on earth. We support the underdog or the guy that other people don't want to win (just look at Leicester). We happily adopt others as our own.
This OP is frankly ridiculous.

We'll said.
You can't express homophobic or sexist views as he has and then expect mainstream media/public/sponsors to back you.
Just look at Malky Mackay.. a talented football manager but a total bam and now unemployable.

A lot of the time though what he says does get misconstrued, take last week, he said in a press conference that Eddie Hearn is a b!tch and deserves a slap as that is what b!tches deserve as he's not man enough for a punch.
The Daily Mail's headline within a few hours was " Fury says all women deserve a good slap "
Regarding his homophobic views, he's entitled to his opinion but controversial things like that he should be keeping to himself.
Regarding the sexist views, you have to remember gypsys live a different way of life to the rest of us, e.g. the woman should cook, the woman should clean, the woman should stay at home and all that BS rubbish, but Muslims have pretty much equal views, yet Gypsys get villified, Muslims get welcomed with open arms, so in a way yes this country is very 2 faced because it's apparently not racist if it's a gypsy. So i can understand his point.
But like Ali, he should be judged on his boxing and not his comments, but it is a different era, I'd imagine if Ali was like he was in his day in this day he'd be locked up
