He got a TV channel by the skin of his teeth in the last week!

Sky who have been rimming him for years werent even interested they still arent!

Hes desperate to be given a financial lifeline and be a high profile opponent.
If you're a professional boxer and you sign a contract for a promoter you get paid a fee for particular fight. You don't even own the rigghts to the TV footage of the fight, the promoter does. You may have noticed guys like Warren and Hearn live on great big country estates and make millions of pounds. Fighters, not so much. It's every fighter's dream to be able to promote their own shows and keep all of the money, even more so to be able to sell out the biggest arena in the country without even naming an opponent or an undercard.

He can't get on Sky because Matchroom have an exclusive deal to produce all their boxing events and he doesn't want to go to Box nation because the bigger TV audience on terrestrial TV gives him better earning potential in the long run when he eventually makes world title fight agreements.

This cunt really is more annoying than the pactards were. Tysontard? Furytard? I think Tysontard has a nice ring to it.
