    Could it? I think that would be a tough sell.

    So if Boxnation are covering it, do we think it will be hennessy fighters on the undercard or FW fighters?

    What?! The first fight was the biggest snooze fest this side of Clev Bellew and you clowns are queuing up for tickets? Jesus

    Probably a mixture but mostly Hennessy doing the filler work. FW might get to do chief support or something

    It's a heavyweight title fight mate. Fury is a good seller and people will want to see klitchsko live. Despite the first fight being poor people will still want to see the rematch.

    I'm happy and not happy, I was on here two nights ago giving it "naaaah I don't think it's happening, were on April and nothing is happening, I don't think Wladimir is interested".

    Apart from me proving once again I can be clueless at times I'm happy it's in Manchester, I had Fury winning by a mile last time and the scores were too close for my liking.

    I see the same sort of result.

    Don't dispute that, just not convinced 50,000+ would want to.

    There is a reason you see very few fights at venues with such capacity.

    Spot on mate and that is why it is on Butt Nation.

    Wonder if the number of Butt Nation subscribers will double to 600 :lol::lol:

    Even with all the hype, Haye v Klitschko was far from a sell out and only 30,000 fans were in the stadium to watch the fight.

    After the first stonker - cannot see Fury selling out Gigg Lane

    Don't think the quality of the fight is why it's on BoxNation

    Imagine if fastcar was Tysons promoter. You can bet your house on it being ppv and about 20 quid
