Other options than Wembley?
Other options than Wembley?
So if a AJ Fury fight Ever comes off, Im assuming there would be more demand than the Fury Whyte fight, is there anywhere anyone can think off that would hold more than Wembley within the UK (doesn’t have to be a stadium, maybe some kind of park?), surely this fight could sell around the 120k mark.

They’ve had 125,000 at Knebworth for concerts

I thought it was over 200,000 for some Knebworth concerts.
I can’t see it working for a boxing show though - would be bedlam.

I don’t know what the worst view was like when there was 94,000 in there but it would surely reach a point where the view is just so non existent that you’re asking people to turn up just to say they were there as you’re not going to see a damn thing.

Would probably try a massive temporary one outdoors

You keep the stadium and just adjust the ticket prices to increase the gate. PPV price becomes £30 as well.
Serious serious money in that fight if AJ somehow beats Usyk and then it somehow gets made.

If there is ever an AJ or Fury fight with 200k casuals, I’m going to be at least 200 miles away!
Re: Other options than Wembley?
If its money they want the fight would be outside the UK, was trying to think of a way to suit everyone, fans and fighters

Outdoor concert venues won't work for a boxing event. Everyone needs a view for the boxing.
It doesn't get any bigger than a Wembley sellout around 94k. So as mentioned above they up the ticket prices and PPV to generate more money for it.

York racecourse. The Pope got 190,000 there. Put the ring in a giant Pope mobile.

Re: Other options than Wembley?
If AJ beat usyk well and it's for undisptued... It wj be hard not to be middle east. So shit, but if they dropped 50 million on AJ vs Ruiz site fee, suposodly offering over 100 million for AJ vs usyk site fee. . surely AJ vs Fury would be significantly more than that... You just can't compete financially
I'd like it to be Wembley, but fans would have to accept tickets would have to be maxed out price... Promoters often under charge to stay in fans good books and to garrentee a safe sell out, but I feel like Wembley where it's 1000 bucks to sit in the clouds would be the only other option.
