    I'm surprised tbh. That's 20000 isnt it?
    Are we sure Hearn isn't meaning all the tickets he let go to stub hub.
    Have all the tickets been sold by the vendors?
    It's not unheard of for promoters to say they've sold something out when they havent
    I suppose it doesn't make much sense to say that tho. U don't want to be giving people the impression there's no tickets left, if there still is. That would be silly
    Hearne done a good job here if he packs out the 02 considering it's a non title fight by two fighters whom neither are actually British.

    You're of course correct that Whyte-Parker isn't a title fight but it likely will be an entertaining fight as will Chisora-Takam unlike the Khan and Haye PPV's and at the end of the day boxing now more than ever is about entertainment rather than championships.

    It's always been about entertainment. Champion or not people want to be entertained.

    That's the same for all sport

    That’s the Eddies excuse for Connor Benn’s first PPV sorted.

    “It may not be for a championship, but it will be bloody entertaining”.

    Whilst I agree Hearn as done a wonderful job with the smoke and mirrors around Dillian, i’m still not sure where we are at with Parker...I think he has better ring craft, speed, footwork etc but he’s been unconvincing in his last 4 fights now. He needs to make a statement. I think he beats Whyte on points.

    Hopefully parker beats whyte and we get the chisora rematch because that's the only way we get that fight

    Parker has failed to impress since he stepped up to world level. Whyte has struggled to impress at Euro level. It’s a lot closer than people think IMO.

    I don't think Chisora would be particularly competitive in a rematch.I doubt he beats Takam,maybe Whyte wouldn't either.

    you could be right but imo whyte hasnt improved at all since they fought and chisora would really turm up for the fight his already beat him

    I'm really surprised everyone thinks Parker wins this. He is completely unproven and has not fought anyone special excluding AJ. Whyte in my opinion is currently the #3 best heavyweight in the world. He has power, he has heart, he has toughness, he has confidence, he has beaten the better calibre of opponent.
    People are clouded by their hatred as a person for whyte but he has the skills to win this and if it turns into a dog fight then there is only one winner. Whyte will be the first man to KO Parker.
