Really sceptical if he will pull any sort of crowd as the main event. Will obviously be good to see him in with a ranked opponent, but not exactly a draw for casuals. Also, who else will feature? Bradley Skeete comeback? Nathan Gorman may want to keep active? Potentially this could be a very weak card.
He's very popular on social media, I'm not sure how much of that will turn into ticket sales though. I was quite surprised when a friend showed me last week the amount of followers he had.
32k is not bad at all. He hasn't really boosted attendance on cards he has been on in the past. So will be interestinf
casuals dont know him simple, if hes headlining it better be at the copper box as he wont sell many tickets, especially with a poor opponent and poor undercard
All depends on venue. If it’s York Hall or the excel then no problem really. If it’s the Copperbox or O2 I’d imagine it to be poor. He will have somewhat of a casual following though. He’s been on BT/BN a fair bit and he’s always knocking people (bums) out.
I’m pretty sure the majority of that 32k following only follow him to have a laugh every time his opponents are announced
They're probably following on the off chance they're offered a fight against him. The criteria to be his opponent isn't that demanding, the average Twitter follower is probably in with a shot as long as they can mop floors and put on an Easter European accent.
I'd love to see him in with someone like Joe Smith Jr next, I know it won't happen but it would be a good test. If they're looking at someone domestically, I feel Ajisafe is another good fight for Yarde.
Yarde + Prince Patel would sell out all of Hungary! Massive PPV there, both are well known to Hungarian casuals.
Yarde needs to stop fighting Bulgarian forklift drivers and be tested against proper opposition I like Yarde but haven’t seen him in a war yet
Fish might not go down the TBA route instead taking a risk with this fight and sticking him in with TBC instead
Yarde v Danny Williams has been rumoured or Freddy Flintoff or I’m hearing Fwank is gonna speak to the British Board about Ferdinands application again! Some great fights if he can pull them off.
