    I'm a HUGE Tyson Fury fan and I can't wait for him to finally come back... but he's more of a draw on social media and youtube than in the arena... The Klitschko ticket sales were absolutely appalling.

    Having said that, I don't think Frank can promote a fight anymore, i'm not saying he doesn't make good fights, because he does.
    But when was the last time he sold out? If Fury Klitschko had have been under Matchroom at the MEN, tickets would have gone in minutes.

    Oops, forgot all about that one. Can't think of any other bad fights he's been in though.

    True but I'm not surprised ticket sales for a Wlad rematch were poor, I mean the first fight was one of the most boring HW title 'fights' in recent memory. Put Fury in with someone with an entertaining in ring style and I think he could sell out a decent sized arena.

    I half agree but the price of those tickets were ridiculous! You want getting much change out if 200 for some upper tier seats!

    Khan has played this one pretty well. I wld assume with matchroom comes the Brook fight. Khan can now demand the majority of the split after his appearance in the jungle he will defo be the bigger draw with casuals in the ppv market

    Lol this is a weird one. Good on them both for putting their differences aside but given some of the things Hearn has said about him in the past this must be beyond awkward.

    Hearn is going to be bricking it ringside every time Khan gets tagged lol

    Warren was also trying to sign Khan, Khan had both deals on the table.. he in the end opted for Eddie..

    Hearn has always been fairly respectful of khan to be fair
    Always said he quite likes him etc, has more a go at those who advise him tbf. I think he knew not to burn the bridges with him. Also had plenty of good things to say about him whilst he was in the jungle

    TBH I'm not bothered about seeing Khan box again. Watched him fight Canelo live in Vegas and he got absolutely drilled, career ending KO.
    Khan vs Brook is 2-3 years too late. Both have now been stopped on multiple occasions.

    Khan could be shot and lose a tune up and Brook could quits again in his tune up and this fight will be trash now anyway and hearn will try and sell it on ppv when did hearn ever make a prime Vs prime fight like when he had all them light weights and just didnt match them up his completely clueless but with all these die hard casuals he can put any trash on
