    Just a note to the British fans planning to go, it's quite a bit less than expected, so you may need to book them pretty quickly. I wouldn't leave it too late to get them, especially if you're planning on a good seat.

    Only 7,000/57,000? That's harsh.

    Yeah, it is, especially as British fans will only be allowed to buy theirs after the Germans.

    Source is The Sun. A **** paper but they are accurate a lot of the time with these stories.

    I'm not sure, actually, mate. I could be wrong with that. Honestly though, I don't know of one single concession Wlad has made, so I wouldn't hold out hope. It would be **** if British fans don't get a fair chance at getting the tickets they want. If this 7,000 number is true, it's disproportionately low considering how big Haye has made this fight.

    hopefully a lot of non Brits buy those tickets up. I don;t think Haye could sell 7.000 for a fight in Germany anyway.

    no doubt. my first choice is of course british ticket vendors. but my backup was going to be ordering form the german site if the british ones are sold out. but if they go for sale 24 hours sooner, i may not get that chance!

    its a shame if it goes this way. i dont see how this would benefit wlad so if he is holding out the whole germans getting a 24 hour headstart on ticket sales thats extremely **** taking

    how are they spoiled?? THey earned everything fairly... they were tied in with a bully promoter UNIVERSUM - KLAUS PETER KOHL, Who they had to sue, AND WON... to get out of the contract.. now they have K2, their own promotion company... They call the shots, dictate on their own terms.. THEY RUN THE S HI T... Not Gayemaker... they are smart, they will leave the sport with no brain damage, and full pockets.. and are not idiots like Mike Tyson who is bankrupt and Holyfield who has 40 kids he doesnt even know about, and can't put together a sentence:happy...

    the scum newspaper only report lies tbh.

    But i imagine the brit fans number will be much lower than klits fans,still,any small number of fans will still totally drown out any claps that the dull german fans might attempt.

    I bet a load more brits get more tickets then they should be able to get.
