Why is snr so scared of Saunders? Or is this just one big mind game?
Check out the build up to the Eubank Benn first fight. Eubank would never make eye contact. He wasn't scared, he just didn't want to be in a position where he would either have to fight or look a pussy because he knows he wont back down. Fury did it with Haye.
Its a bit of that and a bit of mind games.
Also, its getting this fight massive exposure. Would you have made a thread dedicated to this press conference otherwise? All the Eubanks had to do was literally nothing and they are selling the fight better than warren can;D
I heard that it nearly kicked off in Manchester when both fighters and their mates had a run in, the story goes that Saunders mates run Eubank and his mates out of town.
Some of the guys with Saunders were notourious bare knuckle fighters and basically they put the fear of god in him lol

What?!... Fury is an astute master of psychological warfare...Quote:

Agreed. Everybody is scared of him mate, I can think of no other reason as to why he's fought nobody.
Giving reporters nothing to write about and TV companies nothing to broadcast is a funny way of selling the fight. It doesn't need to be sold to the hardcore.
The old man is gonna get slaughtered when Jr is getting his face puched in.
Well I don't blame them as travellers, are a nasty bunch I no by my own experience a bunch of shitsQuote:

No excuse for not turning up to help promote an event you are fighting in. The idea that it's somehow a genius promotional move by the moobanks is ridiculous. Bottled it. Like most big mouths.
Warren must have not guaranteed that they would not cause trouble so there was a no show.
It all adds to the drama. :)
Old Frank was fuming with Snr.
Frank has never had any barney at his press conferences. Fact.
Seemed to forget Herbie Hide throwing tables over as he tried to attack Danny Williams, Bellew needing to be dragged away from Clev ("you fucking rat") and Haye-Chisora (although not strictly Franks press conference) having a full blown tear-up in Germany.
Looks like a clever ploy from Eu Snr, just confirm to the watchers that BJS is an unpredictable punchy pikey who they dont want to mix with before the fight. Will probably sell more tickets than BJS doing Tyson Fury impressions and talking shit. I reckon the Eu's should now ask for a bigger purse!Quote:
