If Fury-Klitschko II is in England.....

[leejonesjnr]

If Wlad decides to take the rematch option then I expect that the fight will be in Germany again on a K2 promotion.

Fence off the top tiers of Old Trafford, probably brings capacity to about 40-50k. I think that's doable. All things considered though, any rematch will be in Germany so it's all a bit moot.

Yep. I'm sure the contract will have stipulated it.

Hmm, Torn on this. I think an awful lot of people would go, just to see a heavyweight world title fight on home soil. ~After all, that doesn't happen often.

I'm not sure about Wembley stadium mind, takes something a bit special to pull that off. I'm not sure those two can sell a fight quite that big.

30-40,000 perhaps.

Man U ground - you'd have a lot of empty seats though I suspect.

You see, I would pay to see Fury against pretty much anyone except Wlad. I hope he makes a voluntary defence first.

Same as me. Wouldn't want to watch a rematch but would watch him fight anyone else. (Ok Except Chisora-Fury 3)

I think that if Fury can make a case for it being in the UK, it's possible it could be there.

I think whatever the result of a rematch, Wlad will probably call it a today anyway, so why not cash in?

[Tuan_Jim]

Do you gentlemen really think the British public would show up to watch Wladimir Klitschko? I might be wrong, but I just can't see it. Wouldn't we need tens of thousands of boxing fans who had somehow never seen him fight?

I don't really see how Wlad taking a fight in the UK when he could run the promotion himself in Germany would be cashing in?

They would be turning up to see Fury not Wlad. Fury is the champion now.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Depends on the terms of the rematch clause - who knows if he is able to dictate the venue?

But as we remember from Lewis/Botha, without an attractive dance partner the crowds won't come.

[Hardcase]

it would sell out 80,000 no problem

lots of Germans would come too

I was there for Lewis/Botha, the arena was full ? Not saying it was a sell out (can't remember) but it was full

[jamiem26]

Old Trafford is where Tyson has said he want to fight in the UK (being a Utd fan).

Would be class.

[SteveO]

There were 11,000 at the London Arena to watch Lewis-Botha.

[craig_minter]

I'd say o2 arena and let it sell quick, could see Old Trafford too

Hello Steve! Where do you get that attendance from? As I recall Boxing Monthly stated the fight drew less than 5,000.

The gate is only a tiny fraction of the income, minuscule infact. It's all about selling the fight to tv stations across the world and PPV income.

That is incorrect. The gate is not miniscule.

40,000 people at an average of 50 quid a ticket ( a conservative estimate) is 2 million quid. That's hardly miniscule is it?

Just think how much it would be if he teamed up with Matchroom and peddled them out through StubHub..!
