I dont think he would do Haye numbers but on free tv if Haye drew 3million i think it it is reasonable to think Fury could draw between 500k and 1million quite easily...

Fury does more than 1 million on free tv..

Haye drew 3 million on Dave... Guaranteed, had he fought on BBC or ITV, it would have been much more..

Haye fought on the BBC very early in his career. His profile was tiny compared to what it would become.

Yeh, his early fights won't have done that well compared to when he was at his peak..

I like Haye and Fury, but there is absolutely no doubt at all that hell is a bigger drawer.

Thompson was delayed, Grandstand, Saturday afternoon. You’d have thought that did well. Didn’t he have to wait until the last few days before selling rights for Mormeck? He crossed over boxing Enzo on a Fwank card.

Well well well...

So a minimum of 100k buys on PPV isn't out of the question then?

Which Meaty Mick “says is comparable “ to Froch-Pascal on ITV for the WBC....

There's a huge difference here though. Fury has simply never sold well, with sold being the key word. People may very well watch for free on a terrestrial channel, but he's just not entertaining enough to generate massive interest in actually paying to see him.

Haye did more tickets for a meaningless contest than Fury did for his home town world title rematch. That says everything you need to know, not some historical 'oh but Haye didn't have many viewers on BBC back in 2003.'

Tyson Fury vs. Nick Webb
Shannon Briggs vs. Marcus Kelly

Winners meet on the next PPV...

Is there a BT Sports equivalent of SSN? I don’t have the BT channels, so I don’t have a clue how they promote things.

30 quid for the full card is a disgrace let alone 20 for a comeback fight possibly v an Albanian cruiserweight.

Sounds like good logic to me, similar to Briggs fighting that Argentine fella on the Haye Gjerjaj undercard.

Where are you getting those numbers from?

Boxing kingdom it was with them numbers, I think they're guessing tho. It'll do less than 10k at them prices as we know he's fighting someone we probs ain't heard off. Still it sounds like this bill is defo going to be ppv. Very strange decision. Frank already nowhere near fulfilling his 20 bt sport uk cards. Wont be non ppv for allegedly subscribers as you get allegedly as part of bt sport package so this will piss off and alienate allegedly subscribers. Unless theres some huge announcements to the big other than Turbo Terry then this is gonna flop big time.

Sounds awful.

I’ll be honest. Sounds terrible. Indefensible.

He'll have harder sparrs. Not even the inactivity can excuse that level of opponent, particularly when you keep telling everyone how amazing you are.
