    They both just had bad performances which I think has kilked the chance of an Anfield fight. It would be half empty I reckon.

    Manchester Arena or 02 Arena it'll be at if it happens

    I really think it wouid need a very strong undercarsmd to be a stadium fight. If you had the following bill I think it could do 45000 or so at Anfield.

    C Smith v Saunders
    L Smith v Brook
    Fielding v Ryder
    S Smith v Patera
    R Davies v Joe Hughes
    Dickenson v Allen.
    Dodd v Cardle

    The issue is Smith would be a seller as he has Merseyside as a fan base, what is BJS fan base, a traveler from Hertfordshire.

    No chance surely. There just isn’t that type of interest in either fighter and the casual fans won’t be that excited by that as an undercard (would be a cracking card of course). Would do 20k tops I reckon

    Would do much more. With tgecsjy hype machine behind it, two brit world champs fighting for finger magazine title. Brook v Liam Smith would be hyped, then some very popular rematches including Fiekding and Ryder who both have much higher profiles this time round. Masher and Dave Allen would properly as standalones bring in 4-5000 fans into bill as both gave big followings. Then their is the Liverpool FC factor, how many fans would that draw in. I would say plenty.

    Yeah possibly mate, hard one to tell I suppose. Would be a great card. Shame the majority of those fighters are shipped off to Matchroom Italy or propping up DAZN cards in Texas etc!

    I know that annoys me. Liam Smith fighting a card filler over there. A joke should be headlining or be chief support in a big fight over here.

    Remember all the amazing fights we were getting on the Saudi card?

    And we ended up with Hunter vs Povetkin as the only one?

    We would be told that would be the undercard and we would end up with minimal

    It would sell very good. Saunders would hype it and people would get interested.

    Have you ever been to a Joshua fight do you know how ridiculous you sound the majority, the vast majority of Joshua fans who go and watch him live are not “ London black guys “ you absolute moron!!

    Why so?

    Tyson is the king of his community, it's really surprising how rubbish his ticket sales are.

    Let alone BJS, who is pure poison for a promoter financially.

    Explain so someone of my low intellect can understand.

    I don't think it would sell out the MEN personally.
