    who said "the majority"? white people are the majority in the UK so will always be the majority of the crowd in a big arena. but obviously his people from his area of the country come out for him strong.

    anyway, this is petty.

    Why so?

    Tyson is the king of his community, it's really surprising how rubbish his ticket sales are.

    Let alone BJS, who is pure poison for a promoter financially.

    Explain so someone of my low intellect can understand.

    I don't think it would sell out the MEN personally.

    Most of them can’t read and they only pay cash for everything so it rules using ticket sites out. Also they’d probably rather watch 2 fat old ‘kings’ with big hairy backs ‘fight’ in a car park.

    hmm possibly, I think If they made

    Callum Smith vs Billy Joe Saunders
    Scott Fitzgerald vs Anthony Fowler 2
    Kell Brook vs Liam Smith

    it could do about 30,000

    I’m going 6, that’s assuming the smith brothers get free tickets.

    Tony Bellew at Goodison only did c.25,000 and that was with 3 of the Smith brothers ( Callum, Paul and Steven ), David Price and Masher Dodd on the card. Think Smith v Saunders would do similar numbers.

    Only Canelo would help Smith fill Anfield.

    Smith v BJS would sell out Manchester Arena - no doubt about that.

    There were only around 63,000 Irish travellers in the UK as per the last census. Even if that figure is incorrect the real number won’t be that much higher.

    The low ticket sales could partly be due to the public perception of travellers. A lot of people really wouldn’t want to spend an evening in the company of lots of them if they were supporting the other guy.

    It would need to have a loaded card. Personally I would pay more to watch a live stream of Smith literally handing the belts over to the rightful owner, John Ryder.

    Don't think it's a huge seller. But always depends on the rest of the card with these things

    Liam Smith is probably a much bigger name in the states than he is over here.... going off the back of Canelo and Mungia

    Kell Brook thinks he is the PPV - He won't fight without being the PPV 'star' so he can retire.
