\u201cIt\u2019s not complicated. It\u2019s money. But this is the biggest slap in the face of British boxing fans that you could possibly make,\u201d said Mannix to DAZN Boxing. \u201cAnd I\u2019m pointing the finger at Tyson Fury, and I\u2019m pointing the finger at Anthony Joshua, because they are the figures with the power here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mannix dismissed any suggestion that the decision would be unavoidable, insisting Fury and Joshua have enough influence to ensure the fight takes place where their fan base can attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it happens, it is so unbelievably greedy on the part of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua,\u201d Mannix continued. \u201cGuys that have made tens of millions of dollars, hundreds of millions of dollars, backed by the support of British boxing fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also highlighted the financial and logistical obstacles UK supporters would face if the fight were staged in Nevada.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd now you\u2019re telling them, if they want to watch you, they\u2019ve either got to pay $5,000 to fly halfway around the world to get to Las Vegas, spend money in hotels in Las Vegas, spend more money on tickets in Las Vegas,\u201d said Mannix.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t want to travel there, you\u2019ve got to get your ass up at 4:00 in the morning to watch our fight, early morning Sunday over in the UK to watch our fight. It\u2019s bonkers and absolutely insulting to British fans.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reports from Mike Coppinger have indicated that a deal is already in place for Fury and Joshua to meet later this year, with Netflix securing the broadcasting rights. Joshua is scheduled to face Kristian Prenga on July 25, while Fury is expected to return on August 1, leaving the location of the proposed showdown as one of the final major pieces still to be determined.<\/p>\n
