    Why should they give the tickets away to key workers?

    Nobody is being milked as nobody has to buy them.

    Why isn’t Tyson Fury fighting for free?

    From Warren’s own mouth he’s not fighting because it’s not possible without a crowd.

    I would rather see someone fighting and active at a more expensive (if you CHOOSE) to pay it than not fighting at all.

    Joshua was supposed to fight twice this year but the pandemic prevented that.
    Of course he is out to grab every quid he can get.
    I don't really see a problem with whatever they want to charge to attend. That's an exclusive event and a proper luxury for most people at the best of times. Tickets starting at £100 doesn't sound at all unreasonable, in context, no more expensive than I'd expect.

    But the £24.99 price on his PPVs now doesn't sit right, with this particular fight at this particular time, and I hope it sells poorly.
    Like I said before, the same fight 3 years ago was £5 less, and it hasn't got better, and most people aren't better off in 2020 than in 2017.
    So, it's not justifiable at all.

    I think it’s advisable for key workers to avoid such events at the moment if they can help it.

    Booked my seat at The River Inn for pay per pudding night - the excitement for this fight is about 5% it was before the DDD v Joyce fight.

    The Angling Army will be out in force for the xmas party.

    Exactly. If you don’t like it you don’t pay for it. I won’t be paying for this. I wouldn’t have paid for Kabayel vs Fury either but I would’ve watched it 100% and disappointed it’s not happening.

    Hearn and AJ aren’t allowed to charge apparently because Tyson Fury gave his fight purse to charity, which definitely happened.

    Totally agree - he does not need the money being a multi-millionnaire

    I was not a fan after his Klitschko stinker but converted after his amazing comeback, being prepared to challenge long reigning World Champions away from home, rising from the canvas after being floored with a huge Wilder blow and for a great performance in the rematch proving he was the number 1 fighter in the division.
