Does that mean we’re gonna have 60,000 in attendance though?

Im sure a few on here will zoom in on a few empty seats!

Does Youtube have a zoom option?

Let's hope Fury has the bottle to fight Uysk after this Saturdays forgone conclusion. Sounds like he has given Uysk the big swerve before. Mind you, can't blame him: there is a very good chance that he loses to Uysk.

Even the press conference felt like a repeat , no wonder there is no interest in the fight

Surely you would after ten Steinlagers?

We export that horse piss, we don't drink it!
Like the Aussies do with Fosters
And no, even after ten Stienies I wouldn't even show them Mr Floppy, let alone wield it with intention.
I'd be more keen on a quiet chunder and a nap.

I always preferred drinking Rheineck out of the pitcher, it was perfect for all day drinking. Do they still have that over there?

No, I don't think so, it sort of faded away by 2000. There is a heck of a lot of competition now, so many different wankie brews, even by the major brewers I can't keep track of them all. It's all gone to sh*t in a hipsters top knot.

I think we can all agree it’s way outsold Lennox v Bruno in the ‘Golden Age’ and wall to wall coverage.

The multi-millionaire Chisora is stretching it a bit when he said - "He gave me a phone call and put food on my kids' table," - regarding Fury arranging the glorified sparring session between them both this weekend.

As a person already worth a few million quid I don`t think there was any chance of him not being able to afford to put food on the table for his kids.

Its all just entertainment - not every ones cup of tea - but certainly enough people to make a good few million quid extra each.

Everything points towards fury bottling the challenge of usyk. I don't get it though. I think it would be a great fight. Forget legacy... give the fans the fights they want.

I don’t think Tyson is scared of anyone. Going into Wilder 6 months after returning from severe obesity shows that to me.

I looked. There’s probably less than a thousand on there.
* it says there’s 888.

I didn’t count them tbh… but I’ve never seen touts selling for under their face value for a “super fight”.

It tells you at the bottom of the screen. Loads of fights people take a loss in the last few days. You need to sell in the first couple of days or you’ll struggle.

This isn’t true for fights that are sold out.

They are always higher than face value for big fights. Sometimes massively so.

888 is a lot to be available on just one platform.

"a tall gypsy man..", my spidey senses just went all Borat when he said that.

I don't think Fury fears actually fighting Usyk or Joshua...but when you've talked so much, and built yourself up to the point where you dismiss others and elevate yourself so much higher than your most immediate peers/rivals, it's a lot further to fall should a defeat occur against one of these rivals.

Thing is people think Fury is some kind of Ali after the Wilder fights, Usyk will make him look ordinary even if Fury wins. Can his ego handle a midget middleweight doing that?

I think Usyk outclasses him for a clear win.

He's erratic enough as is whilst still winning and on top. Joshua's post fight meltdown after Usyk 2 might seem like a toddler tantrum compared to how Fury might react to a Usyk/Joshua defeat.
He's a student of boxing though so will know who to fight and who to play social media games against.

Your Daily Fury post fails to mention that Usyk could be fighting Fury tomorrow (but turned it down).

Bless ya and your blind loyalty to Fury. It's heartwarming.

Incidentally, what are your thoughts on Fury suggesting that Uysk needs to get an extra 'cycle' in, yet it is Fury who actually has failed a PEDS test, and Uysk hasn't?

Do you think it is a rich cake he is eating?

Price too steep again but it's probably Chizza's last dance, he'll want to put on a good show.

How come the weigh in is at 6 pm?

Usyk will be ringside

It really is, and is if this is £27 I wonder how much they'd charge for Fury/Joshua if happens.

Would they push it as high as £49.95?

What they charge and what people are willing to pay are 2 separate things

Anyone who buys this PPV should immediately be hit by a windfall tax; they’ve clearly got too much money if they’ll fork out for this shit.
