Back in the gym now
Looks like damage control to me and now he's pretending to be Thanos? SMH
Back in the gym now
Then why are British people and its publications making such a big deal of it? Why are Fury's own inner circle concerned about his recent behavior? This isn't normal anywhere. I don't buy that for a second.Getting pissed up and falling over is commonplace in the UK. You'll see it in every city centre, every Fri and Sat night. Also, it's illegal to be drunk in a pub in the UK. There is no getting cut off. You get thrown out.
Mountain out of a molehill, in my opinion.

You can still get clicks without sensationalizing a story. This isn't normal behavior for any high level athlete. Especially ones that have had issues with drugs & alcohol in the past. Maybe it is for the bin men in Britain. They're in a different category and aren't competing for generational wealth. You have to be able to perform to win.Because he's a big name and they want clicks? British people are making a big deal out of it? Who?
Trust me, this is very normal. Go do a youtube search of drunken Brits. City centres are a warzone at weekends. You have no idea.

You do realize that Fury reportedly hadn't had a drink in at least a year. Right? Unless that was BS. Even if it wasn't this is concerning. There's no way to spin it otherwise. We know where this type of behavior leads to especially with people that've already had such well publicized issues with drugs & alcohol in the past. Hence the concern.There are plenty of Premier League footballers who have been full blown alcoholics. There are plenty more who still get black out drunk. The drinking culture in the UK (and Ireland) is just different.
Manchester United's star forward, Marcus Rashford (currently paid £300,000 per week) just this year.

I'm just going by what was reported. I didn't create this news story btw. The only thing that's a tad odd is you sitting here pretending that I did.If you actually believe Fury hasn't had a drink in a year, you probably believe he dines on boar nuts.
I don't know why you're so intent on portraying this as some kind of huge issue. It's a tad odd.
Maybe read this.

The Sun broke the news. They're the ones that were sold the footage. It's your interpretation that this isn't much of an issue. I've already explained why it is or at least it could be. If this was just a one-off and Fury never had alcohol & substance abuse issues then it's not that newsworthy. Except that last part we know isn't the case.Huh? When did I pretend that? I specifically said "I don't know why you're so intent on portraying this as some kind of huge issue. It's a tad odd."
Where did I state, imply, suggest, or otherwise, that you created the story?
Fury may not have a formal PR team but he does have people around him that would advise him on what to do in such situations. Yes, Fury had been quiet as a mouse up until the other day when the footage was released. A couple days later he's acting like it never even happened in the gym hitting the bag claiming he can't wait for the rematch lol. That's a complete 180 and the timing is too convenient. Whether Fury is doing the damage control himself or his team has advised him doesn't really matter. It is textbook damage control.i think anyone in the spotlight getting absolutely shitfaced would make the media over here, the fact it is the former heavyweight champion of the world who has demons in his past just gives the story a little bit more ooomph
and for anyone saying Fury has a PR team...LOL
have you seen some of the shit him and his team have come out with, other than his in ring nonsense after the fight he has been the most humble ive ever seen him...ie.fucking silent
im not sure too many people care about him TBHFury may not have a formal PR team but he does have people around him that would advise him on what to do in such situations.

We've seen many athletes lose endorsements over lots of different types of bad press. Fury has a ton of sponsors like WOW Hydrate and his own line of energy drinks. If he does something that's a bad look for him then it also reflects on them.im not sure too many people care about him TBH
its the reason his father was saying people in Britain were traitors(or whatever shit he was spouting), they just dont like a proper unlikeable cunts and his team who are worse
he doesnt need damage control because who actually gives a fuck, the people i feel really sorry are his wife and kids, she seems like a nice person and his kids dont really have a choice, the kids came across terrible on the documentary he did, but its not really a surprise is it, his wife has always been the one who seems the most stable

This just broke the other day and now Fury is seen in a gym hitting the bag. Convenient don't you think? This is exactly what a PR team would advise their fighter to do after such embarrassing video footage of him leaks to the public. It's classic damage control. If this wasn't such a big deal, and being this shitfaced is as normal as you claim, then they wouldn't have even bothered to do it.
Let's see what happens. Just don't be surprised if Fury has spiraled out of control again. Many respected people in the boxing world predicted that he would if he lost to Usyk. It seems that he can't handle decisive outcomes in high profile bouts. When he beat Wlad he was in a very dark place just days after recording the biggest win of his career. For the sake of his mental health I hope that the rematch happens and it's a draw or a no contest.I've told you what I think. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.
