    Exactly. I hope anyone who signs with ****** is being paid ridiculous sums because you are making it incredibly difficult to become a household name in the UK.

    Sorry, I meant Price crapped himself against Thomson and his career was derailed for the time being. He would have been lined up for Fury next.

    Fury probably did turn him down earlier but that was for business reasons, why bother fighting when they were both still comparatively unknown and doing it at Aintree racecourse arena instead of a 20k seater?

    Up to 500 quid for a british title fight is ridiculous

    I'll be going to this fight.

    Chisora-Fury are the two best heavyweights in Britain who are both top 10 in the world and if Frank puts a good card around it then it will sell well.

    I personally think this will be the fight of the summer.

    The sky hype machine generates a lot of interest for fights, unfortunately this fight being on boxnation will not benefit from a regular hyping to the general public & I think ticket sales will reflect this.

    They are already trying to hype this fight as something 'huge', but in reality its like trying to make a flag out of a matchstick. The only thing that caught my attention were the ticket prices, and for 12 rounds of brawling and holding it would better suit someone looking for an insomniac cure than a real boxing fan. The best highlights have already passed, Tyson Fury still trying to figure out how microphones work, and then doing some pansy jump over the table he decided to knock over at the press conference ZzZzZz

    After the dust has settled on Froch vs Groves II interest might start to pick up.

    The big black curtain is coming to divide the arena in two and it will still be half empty.

    Del boy is a boring plodder and the fight is a predictable win for Fury jabbing his way to an easy points decision.

    Cannot see many forking out top dollar prices for a bread and butter domestic fight that has been seen already failing to live up to the pre fight hype.

    I bought two tickets for this the first week they came out, £110 each, (handy being a boxing fan and living a 10 min drive from the arena at times:D ) if you go to the eventim website and click on the seating plan it will show where has been sold out. and its clear that over 50% of the arena is sold out,

    People say tickets prices are dear but wot would you expect to pay in a 21.000 plus arena ? my seats are 4 rows from the floor and adjacent to the ring,i also went to the froch groves fight and the same seats would of cost me over 50 quid more, of course it was a bigger fight and will be a better fight and the price reflects this on both sides, you can also get the cheapest floor seating at this fight for the same price as the two highest tier prices that were available at froch v groves, £110 and £160 quid

    British boxing is at an all time high at the minute, so time to be positive and not negative

    You can guarantee thousands will be given away if they are a long way short so the true numbers will never be known.

    If it is based solely on genuinely bought tickets, it won't do 15k.

    tier 2 seats should never be more than 50 quid I.M.O, as iv been at the back and you can see next to nothing, I think apart from tier 2 there all fair prices, they had tier 1 seats at 67 pound but they sold out the first

    My mate was at Froch Groves there and in the 'cheap seats' and said the view was fine, quite good actually, so not sure who to believe here. I got £50 seats.
