    You might even have to go back as far as Lewis vs Tyson for a heavyweight fight that thrilled the world as much as this one is shaping up to.

    I called the staples center today and they say they are expecting a masive walk up on fight night and won't be able to meet demand

    This fight will be HUGE

    Or just go back to Joshua vs Klitschko last year. What was that, 90'000 people at Wembley stadium and 1.5 million PPVs in the Uk alone? This is a good dig to establish the number #1 contender in the heavyweight division though.

    This HW era is churning out mega fights to beat the band. Not since the 90's has there been so much attention on the HW division.

    Lol all jokes aside this "Battle of the B-sides" should be getting more attention, it's a cracking fight.

    Can't sell out a small arena in the U.S....

    I've seen 1 poster where I live in the UK advertising it (on a bus stop)...

    Yeh this is such a monumental fight... Lol

    Should be a good fight. I'd say I'm excited for it, but honestly, they dropped the ball not having the fight in New York. The time difference between York York and L.A is what, 3 hours. So, here in the UK the fight is going to start at 5am, as appose to 2am.

    Everyone I know that buys PPV's normally does so on the night, so in terms of UK numbers they're relying on people either staying up ridiculously late, or getting up ridiculously early on a Sunday. Frankly the fight isn't big enough for me to plan my weekend around, and I'll wager many other Brits feel the same.

    My point being, a simple thing like location seems to be a massive reason why this fight will suffer in terms of its reach.

    Then you will likely be disappointed. Fury has never been in great or interesting fights. He's a spoiler. Hope he won't spoil tomorrow but that's what he does best.
