Absolutely no chance of Fury being involved in a stadium fight, especially a huge stadium like Arsenal's or Wembley.

He doesn't shift tickets and I doubt very much that even the prospect of seeing Wlad won't get people off their backsides

18,500 at Excel for Chisora fight, both scheduled Haye fights 20,000+ sellouts in Manchester. The whole Fury doesn't sell tickets thing is a myth, he doesn't do massive numbers against shit opponents, because he hasn't tagged himself onto a football club or city, but put him in a big fight and people will come out to watch him.

Haye was the ticket seller and Fury Chisora was sold on the basis of BJS v Eubank jnr and a 'stacked' card with a number of good ticket sellers on

Freddy,

Slightly misleading on the BJS v Eubank. The rescheduled date traded on that because so much energy and interest was spent, generated and wasted on the first date which DC or TF had to pull from.

They couldn't recapture that moment again and bult up lead undercard.

It may not be ticket buying but Fury puts people in pubs when he's on.

I think furys problem regarding tickets is that people don't know how to take him. He has his bad moments where he comes across as a prick then has others where he comes across well.

Throw in his twitter stuff which is also a bit of both and people don't love him or hate him. He's bang in the middle where people will watch but not be motivated to get up and buy tickets. It's a bad place for him to be.

I think he's a funny guy with limited skills as a boxer and wouldn't shell out on a trip to london which would cost at least £300 to watch him.

Fury is good value in all his fights and is a character. He's also known in public as he's fought on terrestrial TV.

Would have to have a more than decent undercard for Wembley, Wlad or not. Would have to be a long promotion too. Reckon Wlad would be tempted?

As someone mentioned, he moves big numbers at home and is trying to crack the yank market too.

If the moneys big enough I guess he would be well up for it!

I think he is nearly always on one big wind up and just likes having a laugh. I think he's quality. He needs to do the rounds, talkshows etc to get the wider audience interested. He has the chat for it but then he might not give a rats ass!

LOL. Wlad v Klitschko would sell out a London stadium in no time. There are quite literally hundreds of thousands of people looking for stuff to do in London all the time.

I'm not a huge Tyson fan, but clearly him vs. Wlad would attract some serious attention. An unbeaten Brit who can bang, plus he can talk & hype himself up going after the World Heavyweight Title, especially as the Champ has been the Top Heavyweight for so long. The media would be all over it.

Then throw in a strong undercard, maybe the Saunders/ Eubanks Jr rematch as a co-main event. No way that would struggle to shift tickets.
