If the rumours and the tweets are true and he does return in May - which I can't seeing being that true. Will he have the same size of following he already did, or would the drug problems, pulling out of the Klitschko rematch, some of the distasteful comments etc hinder his support. Didn't the tickets for the rematch for Klitschko completely flop and didn't even sell 1/2 of the arena? Was this down to ticket prices?
The response to his tweet about his return has gone down well and many people want it to be true, so I think he will have no problem selling out tickets for his return and expect good viewing numbers on his fight as well - even if it's against a Mark De Mori type.
So, I think being the character he is and his personality, if he gathers a few good wins and then goes into a big fight like; Joshua, Wilder, Haye etc. I think all the problems mentioned above would nearly be forgotten.

Re: Tyson Furry's support
Tyson Fury’s fan base would have inevitably grown since his period of inactivity.
Despite his many faults, the British public have lavished warranted amounts of sympathy on him due to the state of his mental health issues.
Regardless, Tyson Fury is a big character, which benefits heavyweight boxing, so I’d be happy to see him back inside the ring, as long as he can quickly regain his fitness levels and possesses the correct mind-set.
