    I reckon around 300K

    it's a great main event but I don't think this is a "casual" type fight or card, I believe it also depends on the push from Sky and Matchroom over the next week or so.

    300-400. Doesn't need be huge huge numbers. Groves chudonov won't be on huge cash. Prob spence won't be on extrem money etehr due to his first really big fight and kel lost his last fight rest undercard be on small amounts sure Allen fought Ortiz for something like 8 grand. How many tickets were sold for this is it 30-40 thousand prob Wher most money will generate from.

    I think with the profile of boxing right now in the UK, I think this can do 400-500k. Groves is also somewhat of a draw and will boost the numbers for sure.

    It's a shame really. Seeing lots of 250-350k's but this is a good welterweight fight that means something.. But fake drama between Haye and Bellew does double what's predicted above (I think it did anyway)..

    I think this fight could sell 400k-450k, Brook's profile is at its peak right now and Spence is a fighter who us hardcore fans know very well, which helps sell this fight even if he isn't well known to the casuals.

    Didn't brook v golovkin do 400k? and that felt like a HUGE fight over here golovkin is very well known. Brook is a well known UK fighter but i wouldn't say he's a huge draw& hardly anyone knew spence until this.. I think it will do 250-300k

    This fight is too close to AJ v Klit and I can see PPV buys suffering because of that. They should have stuck it on normal Sky so **** loads of people can see it. Then if Brook won in style it would have done wonders for his profile.

    The fight isnt even a sell out so i doubt it will go above 200k my guess would be more low 100

    lol nope. They have still sold over 20,000 tickets which would sell out every arena in the country. This will do way over 200k

    Yeah and who is paying the purses? You have to remember it doesn't need to do mega numbers to be profitable. I assume anything north of 300k will make matchroom and Sky very happy.

    True but if the interest was that big they would have sold it out. Cant see a ppv doing good number and the event still has potentially 10,000 tickets left. Will be more a ill watch it at the pub for casuals

    Hearn has said it's sold 27,000 out of 28,000 capacity, I imagine it will be sold out by fight night. Not sure where you getting 10k tickets left from can you give me a source?

    Brook vs Gavin done over 100k, your prediction for this fight given that Brook has a hugely raised profile since then I feel is very low.

    To be honest i thought it had sold around 20-24 and brammell lane holds over 32 i believe so when you add in a couple of thousand on the floor it seems around an extra 10k could have been sold.

    Brook v Gavin was more an AJ ppv as Brook got added to that when Wlad v Fury got postponsed as they were doing a double header ppv.
