Take a look at the Gypsy King instagram, says hes about to announce a massive deal. Could this be the massive news hearn promised or is he going where frank always told us he would with BT? personally, id go sky. With this new fan base hes gathered for comeback, and the way hearn promotes his fighters, could be a masterstroke. BJS doesnt even box in a sold out copperbox. Tyson would do 30-40k at old trafford a on comeback (hearn said theyve been talking to old trafford about fights) with Matchroom.
30k - 40k @ Old Trafford for a comeback? Can I smoke whatever you are smoking please. Tyson Fury couldn't sell half then MEN arena vs Klitchko yet you think he could shift 40k tickets for a comeback fight. Not a chance!!!!
Ive been too 3-4 warrens shows, including cooperbox and MCR arena. none of them sold over 4k. Hearn sells tickets for fun. If bellew can get 15k at goodison on 4 weeks notice, brook sells out 27k, tyson can do same.
Bellew was fighting in his hometown in a world title fight. Brook was defending his title vs a quality American fighter as well as the card being decent. Fury would be making a comeback after 2 years vs god knows who.
You do know that Old T has been mooted and its the biggest arena closest to tyson. Hes still the champ, he toyed with WK, he will toy the rest. Joshua sold 70k vs pulev/takam ffs. Okolie and Chamberlain didnt have 20 fights between yet that sold 8k +.
Fury knows Hearn has promised major news and he’s the type to play on it! I’m not jumping to any conclusions until it’s signed and sealed. Remember Khan has signed with FW 24 hours prior to signing with matchroom on here!
I would usually agree with you however his stock seems to get higher everyday he’s out! The problem is though he doesn’t look good in fights. The first one will be a massive seller but if he’s going to have a few tunes ups then after the first one they’re going to be hard sells.
You cannot compare Fury with Joshua. Joshua is commercial monster being the biggest draw in the sport. Tyson Fury is nowhere close to having the same kind of popularity.
No doubt. I personally don't think Fury has the style to be a big seller. Once his back and people then see what Fury is all about I really think he will be a hard sell unless he was fighting Bellew or AJ. He doesn't have the look or that exciting style where as a HW you believe he will take people out.
Comeback...at a 60000 stadium, no.... It'll be with Frank Warren, at copperbox in either between April and June, depending on when the weight is back down completely, which it will be very soon. He is very close to fight weight now, the comeback is on, but not with Eddie Hearn. BJS is with Frank, therefore Tyson Fury will be with Frank.
Frank said in his last interview there was one more fight to be added to his o2 card. Wouldn’t surpruse me if this was Fury.
Not a chance Fury can do 30-40k in a stadium with anyone not named Anthony Joshua, Deontay Wilder or David Haye (if Haye was to beat Bellew).
It really didn't look that way on the Brook card this weekend. Plus, 'sold out' isn't sold out. Unless they're completely cleared out from StubHub too
