For me it's more of a disappointment in the state of the game. I don't 'hate' the guy, hey get in where you fit in. He's expanding his brand. And it's the substantial influence, money and brand that has allowed him to call his own shots. Unlike the ordinary 6-0 fighter, absent an Olympic/amateur streak and medal push etc, who would not have the promoters handing out tacky new belts, offering instant rankings and boxing insiders fawning over them. It's just all manufacturing and people treating it as it is transferring into some legitimacy. I mean its Tommy Fury. Jake is just trying to scalp the name/brand as he's done prior and it's the only reason Fury is here. Same for all the Froch talk and being "next". A 46 year old inactive for 9,10 years who peaked at 167. Who actually wants that. It's a ruse.
