    Please tell me how you know less than 6,000 tickets were sold. There were about 5,000 there on the night. This was with thousands of returns.

    I'm only going by the research I did. Only 2,300 tickets were available through Eventim 2 weeks before the event.

    I also saw the huge amount of returns made available when Chisora withdrew.

    No Idea how many tickets fighters were given. Fighters would have been given their tickets very early.

    The seating plan after Chisora pulled out showed a serious amount of returns. Surely they were not all from fighters.

    You mean Ives paid the fighters on the back of the tickets paying him back.

    No way Wa rren paid his own money to the fighters-lay it on a creditor,never clear the debt-that's his model

    Fury is continuing to duck Ustinov I see. I can understand where he's coming from, don't get me wrong I don't like it but I can understand it. Team Fury are thinking they're on the verge of a title shot so why should they take on a colossus like Ustinov where they'd be a big underdog.

    Of course he would expect to get the money - and hopefully make money. This would be through tickets sales, sponsorship, BoxNation subscriptions, international TV rights. Also more lucrative fights down the line. Specifically Klitschko. It was a long term investment.

    It turned out a quick change of underwear was all that was needed. Expect to see Tyson conveniently wearing brown trousers if he ever has to face ustinov again.

    One of the most obvious bottle jobs I've seen in recent years: "I'm being stictched up... yelp" how can you stitch up the self pro-claimed "best heavyweight on the planet?" who has been in camp for a world title eliminator?

    Yeah, Fury bottled out so blatantly it's difficult now to have any interest in watching him fight.
    I mean, before then, I really didn't have too much faith is his ability at all, but at least valued the fact that Fury seemed to believe in himself and that can take a fighter quite far. Now he's just another **** fighter who knows he's ****.

    Fury didn't bottle out at all, nonsense.

    It's a tax dodge which also helps out an old mate of his

    He bottled out. After complaining that Ustinov was well-prepared and fit.

    I firmly believe Fury noticed a link to this fight where Ustinov was up against a very similar fighter in size and skillset to himself.

    That added with the clear weigh in brutal psychological KO Fury received by Ustinov then it's certainly no surprise to me that Fury mentally crumbled.
