That was a great card, got allegedly sub for it. In fairness the Fury fight was on silly late and I expect more than a few people figured on getting last tube home?TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑31 Dec 2017, 08:48The arena was empty for the fury fightRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑31 Dec 2017, 07:13They both sold out the ExCel.

I hate when fighters do this. Sets alarm bells ringing that their hearts not in it. Looking forward to seeing BJS again.

One of the worst promoted cards in recent memory. Fury and Chisora were in the ring after midnight and the place was evidently crawling with dickhead Saunders/Fury fans and no security.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑31 Dec 2017, 08:48The arena was empty for the fury fightRuthless-RKO wrote: ↑31 Dec 2017, 07:13They both sold out the ExCel.

Stories about cards like that are exactly why Saunders fights abroad and in leisure centres. Just not the sort of environment that attracts anyone to buy a ticket.

I still havnt warmed to BJS.
However, an undeniable fantastic win against Lemeuix.
Would love to see BJS v Eubank Jr 2

I feel that a large part of any inability to shift a huge number of tickets is down to the promoter and their failings which are well known re: ticket sales.

You only retire out of choice when you've fallen out of love with the sport, to these fellas it's what they've been doing since they were kids, it's the only life they've known which is why guys like Hopkins, Holyfield, Jones Jr were still fighting as middle aged men.

Re: Billy Joe Saunders Could Retire By Age 30
I think this is maybe just something fighters say to get articles written about them, and to maybe make people more excited for what could be one of their last fights.
