Parker Fury - What was the attendance in the arena?

[TheCobra]

Just wondering anyone care to estimate the attendance, who was there last night?
Also wonder how many buys it did, let's say 10,000 maximum = £150,000 - not even gona cover production costs that, camera crews, presenters, undercard etc etc.

[bripez]

The BBC Sport website says the capacity was 21,000 and the attendance was "roughly a quarter"

[Mimmy]

The whole top tier was curtained off. So not sure the capacity of the arena without the whole top tier. The block opposire where i was sat in block 102 i would say was about 1/3 full. Ringside possibly 3!4 full. The remaining blocks possibly were about 3/4 full too, not sure what the crowd capacity was in the same side as my block but im guessing about the same as opposite side of arena.


There was a load of Fagan fans in my block who left after his fight. I think at main event people were just moving to better seats within their block. I was on row J, we moved to row B which was just avobe the floor barrier which was about 10 rows back from ringside.

Did you have a good night mate?

[jameswilson]

Did you have a good night mate?

Yes. We had a right skin full, well I had 10 and half pints between lunch time and leaving the arena. Sat in Wetherspoons and Hard Rock Cafe in Manc and had a right laugh with my son. The boxing in whole was quite boring to be honest but I was ready for that after all the talk on this topic. But it was a day out with my lad.

If they got 6,500 then that's actually a bit of a result. I was thinking it might do about 3,000.

Let's say it did 6,000 paid tickets, average price of let's say £60.

£360,000 on the gate.

10,000 PPV buys at £15

£150,000

That's me being generous I feel.

Total takings = £510,000
I bet the cost of putting it all on before purses was well upwards of £100,000.

Someone's badly out of pocket.

Not all of that £150k from the PPV goes to the promoter. Youtube will take a cut.

You also need to strip VAT out of the £150k and ticketing income.

[TheCobra]

Nz PPV?

Yeh good point though I assume Parker will have wanted a big chunk of that. Whether he got paid that up front as part of his purse that went into escrow, who knows?

[Mimmy]

I didnt see any advertising in the ring, only Youtube on the aprons and on the back of the round card. So this promotion didnt make any money through ads.

[SAPFO]

Out of interest, why was there not 10k travellers there?

VAT is not chargeable on tickets

[KiwiRider]

No, he got a flat fee 1.8 USD paid before the fight.

He's a very rich, very fat piss head. King of the gypsies.

His family should stop talking about him coming back. He clearly doesn't want to do it.

I'm pretty sure VAT is chargeable on tickets. Why wouldn't it be?

[mickey1975]

Out of interest, why was there not 10k travellers there?

Why wasn't there 3,000 gorjas at Eddie's last O2 show?

[SAPFO]

What the feck is a gorja?

I thought being a traveller that there would be a huge following from within that community.

[Cyclops]

Why wasn't there 3,000 gorjas at Eddie's last O2 show?

A gorja is a pejorative term for anybody who isn't a traveller. So there wasn't 3000 people at Eddie's last 02 show?

That's pretty bad.

I can't even think what that show was. Was that really the turn out? Less than 3000?

I suppose there wasn't 3000 gorjas there because it was shit.

[mickey1975]

Non traveller. Kell Brook sold less against Dan, Buglioni last time out, why didn't the gorja community ram those places out?
