    I doubt 60k Germans are going to travel over.

    This card sold out, purely because of the Eubank - BJS angle. Nobody pays to watch Fury. Prior to fighting on BN he was fighting in venues with audiences of less than 3,000. He has no major fan base at all.

    Froch-Groves was all over the tabloids.

    As far as I know, Groves is a complete unknown to most British people, never had much exposure on terrestrial TV.
    He was an absolute nobody. Froch was hardly popular like Hatton, not even as known as Calzaghe. They are actually quite a boring and unlovable couple of boxers.
    They did Wembley.
    That was all down to publicity.

    I see your point, however degale was fighting in shopping centres in front of poor crowds prior to joining eddie, but if he fights for world title, I'm pretty sure he'll sell out, or sell a decent number of tickets, with the skysports / matchroom hype

    wembleys too big for the fight, however a venue like west hams ground or white hart lane would be about right, around 35-40k.

    doubt klit would come to the uk eitherway, as he can sell out stadiums in Germnay, 10.5mil watched his fight with pulev in Germany. Any fight is likely to happen there.

    Sky have 10 million subscribers and they have the power of Sky Sports News PLUS the sports channels for them to aim adverts and promotional videos at their customers.

    What avenues do BN have? None.

    Are you talking about a fight vs Froch or a fight vs someone else?

    In the case of a Froch fight, 95% of the interest would be for Froch. He'd have sold the fight, not DeGale.

    If he's fighting someone for a vacant title I wouldn't be surprised if they found somewhere with a 10-15k venue. DeGale is untried and untested when it comes to selling out arenas on his own and personally I think he'd need a lot of hype and a strong undercard with local ticket sellers on the bill.

    After a couple of 12 rounders in the bank eubank would definitely beat Saunders.

    I was talking about degale vs anyone else for world tile, not froch - that's a different story. i was thinking degale would get 15-20k

    Wlad vs Fury wouldn't fill out Wembley.
    Not even sure where this story come from.
    There's 000 chance of Wlad leaving Germany. Being the champion, he doesn't have to neither.

    Fury vs Joshua will in a few years.

    Wald vs Haye took place in Germany.
    That was a much bigger fight than Fury vs Wlad, 5x as big.
    If they never went Wembley then, why the hell would they go Wembley now?

    If he fights Jennings then that would be very likely. If he gets the Stiverne/Wilder unification you'd have to think that would be a distinct possibility.
