    Elton John couldn't sell out Wembley in an hour. I went on at lunchtime and could only get pitchside.
    Nearly a million viewers for the Taylor fight the other night.. Boxing is booming atm :detenido:

    Warren talking about extending the capacity to 100k

    Make no mistake this is a mega fight, think a few people have massively underestimated how big Fury is now back home.

    Casual trash never cared about Fury till he smashed Wilder in 2020.

    If you weren't a fan of Fury after he beat Wlad you were never a fan

    I guess finishing on top is better than being a hypejob like AJ then being left in the dirt

    Fury had to grind HARD to get his respek

    Good for Fury he's finishing his career with a bang though, like a fine wine.

    After Klitschko vs After Wilder, just a different flavour of Glory Supporter to me:dogpile:;)
    People should have been on board well before Klitschko. This idea that Fury was a boring fighter until Wilder 2 was always some retroactive bull**** based on people only watching the Klitschko fight. And even then whilst recognising that fight may be an acquired taste, I think fans of the sport will have got something from it, and more than likely rewatched it a few times.

    There were multiple cynical voices in boxing who didn't think Fury could sell Wembley out. The pathetic antics from Hearn and Whyte this week were another attempt to try and make that happen and they failed.

    If this event does the big PPV numbers along with selling out Wembley, it's about time peke like Hearn and a few others give the man some credit.

    I doubt it. Fury is a pretty boring fighter when he's not fighting Wilder and Whyte is one of the most uncharismatic people in the sport. Probably smart not to show up to the press conference

    Where are all of these ppv buys coming from?

    I said about as much last October, in response to a thread titled, [url]"Now that Fury is front page news in the UK does it mean he`s a bigger star than AJ?"[/url];
    As I stated there, the worm has been turning since Wilder II. A homecoming bout was always going to be the litmus test of that, but, given past hostilities between Fury and the British establishment, it was up in the air whether and when such an event would materialize. Thankfully, it's now happening.

    For the first seven or so years of his career, I steadfastly believed it inevitable that Fury would some day win the embrace of the British public and take his place as UK boxing's premiere box-office attraction. Then came a period, through his exile and his first couple Top Rank bouts, where I started to accept that circumstance may perhaps (or probably) prevent things ever playing out that way. But here we are. Fury has now moved into a position to topple Joshua from that perch without even having fought him yet — what's more, he's done it through the pure force of his entity and his fighting chops and in sheer defiance of the odious operations of the machine which put him down in order to puff up and then pedestalize his much dimmer and much less adroit chief domestic rival.

    Hey UK boxing fans can you let us know if they use this fight to jack up the PPV fees? Boxing likes to use super fights to raise the price of PPVS over here in the Americas.

    Fury earned this the hard way, thirteen years in the making, not laid on for him like the globohomo pin-up boy. They tried to bury him and install an imposter in his rightful place, but what's done in dark will always come to the light.
