Simon Jordan and Frank Warren CLASH over Fury vs Ngannou 💥 | Up Front
LOL - this aged well Simon
This is hilarious to watch after the fight 😂
Furys banned simon jordan and talksport from all his gigs haha
Just because it’s a big event doesn’t make it a decent or competitive fight. Mayweather versus McGregor is testimony to that.
Yes but I had idiots at work raving about how they'd got 5-1 on McGregor and I told them what was going to happen Mayweather/McGregor was financially the 2nd biggest fight of all time.
I think that Frank see's event and money as the same word
This is a heavyweight bout. Anything can happen. Especially when the fighters are @ their physical prime. If you don't like it, DON'T WATCH IT!!!😘
I can't disagree with a word Jordan says and I certainly won't be watching it. Just free up the belt and you can stay at the circus forever more.
Haters will still watch it.
Simon needs to let his guests speak
We as boxing fans are not the only audience in the world , my son loves MMA and to him this fight is the highlight of the year .
I'm mma / boxing fan aswell and I cant wait.
conning kids is fun.
@@anthonysaul5018 you'll grow out of it.
It's a great night the undercard alone is one of the best card this year Fact! the chief support is a great fight with two young hungry undefeated Brits fighting for the British and commonwealth belts. Haters gonna hate and old woman on Social media have nothing better to do than run everything down behind there keyboard eating pot noodles in there tank tops, as uncle Frank likes to say 😂😂😂
You've just proved Simon's point. It's children's entertainment. It's scripted entertainment on the same level as KZhead boxing.
It's UUUUGGGEEE! Absolute melon... sitting there and still trying to make this out as something more than a money fight. He genuinely must think we're beyond stupid...
I've heard rumours Tyson is calling out the World champion ping pong player next .
Tyson Fury on Strictly Come Dancing up next, Frank says it’s a huge event and a whole new market
It's a game changer!
😂😂😂
10 round exhibition, no belt on the line, rematch clause, against a complete novice, on PPV. What a farce!!! 😂😂😂
Mate get a job or something fucking hell surely there’s better things you can be doing that sitting around dropping hate comments on boxing videos all day have a day off 😅
@iNeckle its honestly pathetic.
@@--__--........----___It really is. What a nonsense fight 🙄
What's more pathetic are those ppl who wil pay for this nonsense
Everyones gonna watch it lets face the facts
To balance this fight out; there should be a round 2 where Fury fights in the octagon
why do that he owes ngannou nothing the moneys in boxing not mma else thats where ngannou would be fighting
@@1976darby Very good point.
didn't need it
This aged like his tenure at palace
Drop the belt and I don’t care, fight who you want. But while he’s got the belt, he should be defending it. It’s the WBC I really blame here. The fighters and the promoters are just interested in their bank accounts, it’s not their job to protect the integrity of the sport. That’s the job of the WBC, which they are failing at miserably.
Spot on. I only watch promoted big fights. Boxing is almost dead in my eyes. Ufc there is no dodging the best fight the best all the time. Started following it and although I love it. Its only cause the dodging from boxing I started
@@jamespartridge395 It's a great time to be a boxing fan if you just ignore the HW division. Spence vs Crawford, Lopez vs Taylor, Inoue vs Fulton, Lomachenko vs Haney... we've had some really big fights in 2023. Edwards vs Rodriguez to end the year... There's plenty going on in the sport, it's just that it doesn't get talked about in the media.
What a great post John,spot on 👍
@@johndeighan2495 yeah I guess it's not promoted well I only get heavy weight on my algorithm
Fury is building his brand worldwide, its a genius move and no brainer considering he is getting so much to do it
It went worse then when Joshua went to America, that was embarrassing
Think his brand is finished after that!
Luckily the Undisputed is signed,redemption is just around the Corner and then a rematch with Francis will do even better
@@therobbieunited Delusional.
This why talksport will not be invited to tyson fury further fights😂😂
Tyson Fury really can be a sissy
They hated on Fury without doing their research. Its all good fans having an opinion but broadcasters have an obligation to be impartial. Hopefully they learn from this mistake in time for undisputed.
@@Stuartgould3111. Nonsense. Simon criticised him for taking the money fight and not being a man of his word(of which he clearly isn't).
@esanyefregene9191 all he does is moan. Fury doesn't need that energy round him. They can focus on AJ vs Charr and leave the impartial media to cover undisputed.
I haven't seen anyone who agrees with this fight, Absolute shambles, Waste of time.
The Saudis “agree” with it. It’s an enormous sporting event which opens the door to the undisputed next.
@@goncaloamaral7846 Its not a sporting event at all, Its a circus act.
@@jimjogger306 it’s not an act. Two enormous athletes, trying to take each other heads off, can be potentially life or death. Only a non fighter like you doesn’t understand.
@@goncaloamaral7846 I'm a none fighter am i? 🤣 Ok pal. You go spend you're $40 on this shit show.
Frank warren is right in front yet you haven’t seen anyone who agrees 😂
The smirk frank has on his face tells you everything you need to know , he knows full well it's a mockery of the sport
say what?
Jealous Jordan
I don’t why they are assuming this will make a load of money… it’s had zero promotion. The face to face was boring, and the build up is very bland… I’ve got a feeling this fight will not do the numbers they expect.. because everywhere I look no one actually cares about the fight.
Simon thinks he really matters.... About what he wants, who cares what he wants, if simon was furys manager and getting a cut what he would say no your not fighting ngannou ..course he would.
He comes across as very arrogant here.
@Its-Only-Ray-Parlour I known about what he wants to hear and I'm no fury fan boy ..far from it.
If Tyson Fury knocks out ngannou at any stage of the fight Simon Jordan would be absolutely correct about what he is saying, however if the fight goes the full 10 rounds and is competitive Simon Jordan should quit his job. UNANIMOUS DECISION TYSON FURY!
The thing is Tyson changes his mind like the weather and frank knows this is a joke and money fight but he won’t own up as he’s Tyson’s promoter
Precisely, Warren is also earning a wedge on this fight so he doesn’t care
Warren dont give a toss as long as he gets his percentage
They basically ended up cashing in at the expense of fury’s credibility
How does fury hav fans when he is not giving boxing fans any joy? Who are these fury fans who just love him even when his giving them no entertainment?are these ppl fans of fury not fighting the best? Fighting once a year? Maybe they fans of fury jus trolling on social media
The few remaining Fury fans fall into two groups... 1/ Trolls with nowt better to do. 2/Brainwashed deluded Fanboys. What they don't realise is that Fury doesn't give a toss about them!
Its a great circus show. Its not a great boxing match. So long as everyone knows that and buys it for what it is thats fine.
2:11 Simon: "this is one thing and one thing only - it's a money fight" Fish Eyes: *complete non sequitur* "this is the biggest event I've ever been involved with" Simon: "no credibility, it's just a money fight" Absolutely bang on.
you were saying🤣
It’s fine now that we have the Usyk fight lined up
Unless the Usyk fight is delayed because Fury wants time after fighting Ngannou
They actually lined up the Usyk to try sell this shit fight cos it was tanking.
@@ejikeezeh we will watch them both though won’t we
@@ejikeezehhow does a fight in Saudi tank? The money is already banked. If earning $130m over two fights is tanking, where does that leave your minimum wage job?
Bless ya.
At first glance I thought that was Larry Bird in the thumbnail 😂
THIS AGED WELL 😂
Frank also wants everyone to know how hard Ngannou punches - he let Francis punch his forehead which caused that dent.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its the best card of boxing so far this year. Well worth the ppv price and the dross thats been served up this past weekend just makes you even more interested.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Jeez..... that DAZN card put me to sleep on Saturday night.
It's huge money. It's misfit/exhibition circus boxing. It's pathetic for boxing fans and this is a boxing show.
Exactly..and clowns will pay for this circus
Fights like these are about capturing the publics imagination, its crucial to whether people will buy into it and watch the event. When simon jordan decided to appoint himself the policeman of boxing and start calling this event a "joke" and a "money fight", he is potentially taking money out of the fighters pockets by making the fans less likley to watch, all because simon doesnt like it. Its no surprise to me that the fury's have cut ties with talksport and have said that simon jordan wont get anymore interviews with tyson. He's shot himself in the foot really because he'd created such an issue out of this ngannou fight. If he had just said its not for him and shut up about it then thats one thing but for the last 6 months or so he's been sitting there like the moral arbiter of boxing criticising tysons antics, disrespecting his honour for not paying piers morgan a million quid, obscuring the facts around the usyk situation so it looks 50/50 (and not usyks fault for ducking fury) and criticising the ngannou fight. He has really only himself to blame that tyson won't be dealing with him anymore, if you slag off the hw champ of the world to prove how mentally tough you are and how you definitly weren't bullied at school, then don't be surprised when you don't get to interview him and talksport don't get to cover his fights.
This has aged like a fine wine now 🤣
None of the real fight fans care about this because it won't be competitive.
I am honestly not interested in this fight. I will probably watch the highlights but I would defiantly not pay to watch it. But I don't think Warren or Fury will lose any sleep over that as the Saudis have already paid them regardless. As for Fury v Usyk...that is just BS to drum up interest in this fight.
Just say Ur poor
@@gypsyemperor7535 Ok, I live on the street in a cardboard box and eat out of bins...is that poor enough for you ?
Been a huge fan of boxing all my life and in the last 10 years equally a fan of the UFC and I can’t wait to see this fight. Jordan is even more salty than frank. I give Francis a better chance than Dillian whyte had.
Ask Simon if he would do the same in Furys shoes if the Saudis offered him that money..... Discussion over 😂
If it comes down to morals then any real man would say no ie fish eyes and foney are doin this shabby panto
Not to mention holding the belt hostage.
@@stevencavanagh1613 Would you say no??
@@Hghar if I had the money and a title I was obliged to defend then no I wouldn't , just my opinion
@@stevencavanagh1613 Yeah sure 😂
Money is the root of all evil.
Well well well, the fight was way more competitive than many thought...
Game changer for money only not the competitiveness of the fight
Might as well say Brazil (football) v New Zealand (Rugby) would be one of the biggest sporting events in the world, but it is not Brazil v France (football) or New Zealand v South Africa (rugby). Frank is trying to justify the fight by saying its the biggest sporting event, but avoiding the fact that it is not a real boxing match, which is what 80% of real boxing fans are mentioning is the problem.
😂
Yawn.
Surprise surprise, Tyson issuing deadlines of Dec 23rd days after he heard Usyk saying he, quite reasonably, likes a 14 week camp! Funny that, because Frank has repeatedly said the contract was valid until the end of ‘Riyadh Season’. Tyson moves more goalposts than a Wembley groundsman
I always laugh when I hear promoter's trying to justify a poor fight by saying "yeah but it was a great event" Surely the quality of the fights is what makes an event great?? Do these promoter's think the boxing fans sitting at home paying their 25 quid for a ppv are bothered if the production value is on point? No!!!
Actually no promoter's job is to make his fighter the most possible money in any given situation. Fans don't mean anything sooner you all realise that the better
Was gonna pay to watch to this fight,but just remembered the world paint drying championship is on Channel 5 at the same time,think I will definitely tuning into that,will definitely be more action watching that.
It’s weird coming back to this when the majority say ngannou won
Everyone should stop saying Ngannou is the UFC heavyweight champion, his record in the UFC is 12-2, he defended the title once and walked away, he hasn't fought in 21 months
The casual market is huge and the bs is directed at them for they no nothing about the intricacies of the fight game and will eat up all the bs they are fed, everytime.
Simon = top LAD proper clobber
- Matt, 52. Construction worker and Leeds fan. ‘
Jordan fells us that Tyson Fury 'farting' isn't a gamechanger. Funny how he can go from public school posh (8 years ago ; ) to apples and pairs 'man of the people'. Fkin casual, lol. BTW, didn't they do all this a month ago??
You’ve got Tommy fury fighting misfits, and just about wins and now you’ve got his brother fighting MMA to me. This is misfits boxing two don’t fury wanna fight eny more the brothers, taking people for mugs don’t watch the fight people make them pay. It’s all a scam not to get in the ring with proper fighters. When he retires, he will never be the best because he hasn’t fought the best. Well said Simon.
This fight is leading to the undisputed next.
Utter nonsense, the fight with Usyk will happen in Jan/Feb, this fight is a filler before that. The fight with Usyk couldn't happen before due to timing in Saudi Arabia. Fury was always waiting for the massive payday for the unification fight and rightly so
Tommy lost to KZheadr and fury got beat by a mma fighter
shows what simon knows :D
Guess what Simon, Ngannou was the game changer 😂 ufc have the best fighters come over to us you will enjoy it
Jordan is boring repeating himself now tbh
It needs repeating cos he's spot on. And Frank certainly needs taking to task about the real reason for this Circus.
Tyson can't read but he wrote three books.
Where did 'thunder lips' come from?
If everyone thought it was a joke, the stadium would be empty...
Shame on the people who buy the ppv
All combat eye balls will be all over this, head to head has over a million views in two days. Jealousy at its finest and the people who say they hate it speak about it the most😂
What do you say now jordan😂
Retired and never gave his belt up did he frank ?? So fury is an utter joke and a serial liar 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Totally agree👏
‘ it’s a massive event ‘
Boxing is evolving and thats that 💁♂️
8 mins in: "That's not Tyson's fault" 8:50 something "Tyson said pull the plug". Swear this guy...
Yeah he said *pull the plug" because usyk was out pricing himself, watch it again you spacko 😂😂😂
@@d.jparer5184 When he clearly wasn't, as the UD CRW and also HW champ. Why do you sub 70 IQ people always look at one thing in isolation 100 plus examples of Fury lying, contradicting, cheating at sparring, taking PED's, making promises not even trying to follow through, making irrational demands when not with others, saying will make fights and not. However much I respect his skills and what he came back from, the guy is not the person he says he is: that simple. Any other era, these fights would have happened, if you see boxing clearly and have a reasonable intelligence, you can see that. Edit: You're also that ign*rant that I quote the guy and you admit I did, then add the bit that was the reason I thought it was BS and send an insult to show how f**n du*b you are. Couldn't write it.
@@VileCAESARB well he clearly was, what good is being the crw and hw champ if barely anyone knows who you are? Besides the negotiations fell apart when fury wanted a 50/50 split in the rematch clause (which is the same split he got for the AJ rematch) and usyks people walked away because they "felt disrespected". A serious fighter who really wanted it would try to renegotiate that split (even though it's completely fair). Instead usyk got straight back on a train to Ukraine and told his management to come on talk sport to say that the fight didn't get made because fury is greedy. Usyks team have admitted this on camera so if fury said pull the plug, he meant because usyk wanted ridiculous money to fight. Realistically usyk was out pricing himself because he was due to sign with skills challenge in the near future and they would have paid him the money he wanted. That is, until skills challenge pulled out of sports and Tyson has signed this mega deal with the Saudi's meaning usyk will probably have accepted similar terms to what he was originally offered. Usyk tried to play games to get more money and it seems to have failed.
Did Frank say this would a big event?
WBC is inventing new sport with such fights.
Let's be real, if it was AJ taking this fight Frank would be the first one to slag it.
This is exactly what I was thinking. Frank would be destroying it 😅
If the large amount of money wasnt there this fight wouldnt be happening, end of . Never mind Frank saying this is a new opening. He is just trying to justify his actions!
Hope there was a defibrillator on hand, these two go so red I thought there would be a heart attack.
Bang on Simon... It's ALL about the money, it's not a proper fight. May as well call it Circus Tyson 💵
ofcourse this guy will watch it man. lol
Definitely a money fight. Boxings want to see proper fighters to keep the integrity of the game
Well said Simon , stuff the fury fakes, leave them to their circus
Avoiding undisputed for joke, money grabbing exhibition.
Playing with the word(s) “Game changer”. Not the sport of Boxing but the game of money Business.
Go On Si
I was well disappointed with the news fury was fighting ngannou, I'll be honest I'd never heard of him, and I refuse to get sucked in like I did with Mayweather v McGregor and more recently fury Vs ksi, they taking us for mugs, I'm not paying for this s#!t anymore! 🤣
This is no better than the misfits, well it is a misfit fight
Greed plays a big part in all this, otherwise Heavyweight fights could be made here in the UK or America, where the genuine boxing fans might have a chance of actually seeing the fights live but Warren and his fanboy won't discuss that😏
Simon's calling it just like all us fans! This fight is just about the money, no credibility for boxing
Speak for yourself I couldn't agree with you less ..
The fact that all the talk is about money, saying "event" all the time, who's making what, how much money people are getting paid, etc... just goes to show that Warren and Fury have zero interest in boxing and it's legacy, it's just a cash-cow 🤷♂ boxing definitely needs an overhaul where a board actually MAKES fighters fight based on rankings, no dodging and putting stupid contract requests, etc - just regularly scheduled match-ups or drop the belt. It's pantomine.
Simon to eat his words as usual 😂 Fury should of lost, hardly a exhibition match
Simon is getting his knickers all tied up in knots, he of all people should know that if you have a commodity (Star Power) that everybody wants, you shouldn't sell yourself short..
The king is paying for it, no ppv required
This is an old interview
I dont like simon jordan but he told the truth here
Loads of money sure. The Saudis Spent over $150million on the event and only made back around $17million selling 67.5k ppv buys in America and poor numbers in the UK as well. This is meant to be the self professed cash cow and superstar in the division. Absolutely shocking numbers!
You tell the fish eyed pig farmer 😂😂👍
Anyone trying to justify this circus is not a true boxing fan they are just tyson fury fans. A heavyweight champion vs a 37 year old retired mma fighter making his boxing debut 😂. Give it a rest.
"3 books, all best sellers" What Frank forgets to mention is that Tysons only involvement was colouring it in
TalkSport have been banned from the Fury - Usyk fight by Shane Fury, lol
Not surprised,the Fury's can't handle the truth. Not can Frank!
@@michaelmccormick4989 Maybe, but I can see why. Imagine being an egotistical clown who piggybacks off more successful people to push your own career (Simon Jordan) but then insulting the megastar you need access to. Serves him right for overshooting his position. Forget about fury. WTF was Simon thinking? You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Is it going to be uge?
The Saudi’s are going to find out quickly the lack of pull this fight has. Nobody cares, fans want proper fights!
Mate get a job or something fucking hell surely there’s better things you can be doing that sitting around dropping hate comments on boxing videos all day have a day off 😅

This is proven there has been nothing like this so far in history.. Simon give it up.. you
