    How many tickets have sold for this fight thats next week?

    I was at FUry's last fight in the MGM grand Garden Arena. Capacity was 10,000.... I would say there was about 6,000 people there, and thats being very generous... So can someone explain the logic behind booking a bigger venue T-Mobile Arena (20k capacity) with an even less known opponent??? What is the logic behind this? I predict this fight will be cancelled, due to poor ticket sales. Top Rank is gonna have to hand out the tickets with those discount escort cards on the strip.

    Are we going to get the Fury fanboys saying Fury is "taking over america" again after this, like they did after the swartz one?

    I think they will easily break the 1mil mark.
    The Schwarz fight reportedly sold 5500 tickets generating 882k at the gate. Too bad that they only sold 1/3 of the venues capacity.
    With some major comps, I imagine over 10k will be reported to be in attendance at the T-Mobile for Wallin.

    Seems like they are aiming to build Fury into a name in the Las Vegas market. T-Mobile is a good place to build up name value.
    That ESPN money is letting them get away with these stunts.

    I have no idea about ticket sales.

    I would definitely pay to watch Fury take on a worthy opponent, but no way am I helping fund these joke one sided fights.

    I paid to watch Hughie vs Povetkin people complained about Hughie’s style making a boring fight, but at least he is taking on good opponents and not ripping off any fans he has.

    Hughie Fury has literally fought more top ten heavyweights than his cousin Tyson has. Yeah he lost all three of them, but at least he has the guts to take risks.

    Tyson doesn't realize he's fooling his fans.... He already did it once with Schwarz, and his fans were ok with it.... but as they say "Fool Me Once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me".... We aren't gonna get fooled twice.

    Huh??? "Easily"??? I was there at MGM garden Arena, it was mostly empty... What makes you think that this fight will do better in a bigger venue? there is absolutely ZERO hype for this fight...

    It's only an additional 120k in ticket sales. I highly doubt they won't be able to do it.
    And I don't see how the venue size has anything to do with the ticket sales. If anything, the T-Mobile might have more luster than the MGM at the moment. And it's obvious they won't sell out T-Mobile, or even come close to it. But they don't seem to be expecting such results.

    The Schwarz did such poor ticket sales, that I will be impressed if they can't do better at their second attempt in Las Vegas. They now have a foothold in the Las Vegas market. There is an opportunity to grow. And this is Top Rank's plan. Build up Fury in one of boxing's most lucrative markets. Then cash in on the Wilder rematch in Vegas. And likely keep on growing in Las Vegas.

    And there might not be much hype for this fight, but they have been promoting it.

    The tickets will sell
    They may not sell out
    May not even have the full arena open
    But it won't be a massive draw

    If anything Fury is damaging what little brand he has. Everyone watching his fights will realize he is super boring inside the ring.
