It's getting daft now. Giving some hellish consideration to just getting a refund. Too much crap, and little confidence it will go ahead.

They should have cancelled and refunded everyone and started a fresh with a new pricing structure, sold it out in a few hours.

Let's be honest here, Fury has hardly endeared the public to this match, has he? I think the free-talking Fury was definitely refreshing, and can see why people like him, but on the other side he's been pretty offensive with some of his comments and showed limited contrition, he just thinks it's funny. He's said he hates Britain, he hates boxing, and shows no intention of continuing down this path much longer than he is. He's made it quite clear that he is only interested in one more pay day, and then he's done.

I don't know if he means everything he says, I suspect he doesn't. I don't know if this is purely a ploy of attention seeking. Whatever it is, it just stinks. I can imagine the fans are pretty underwhelmed by it all, BN must have their head in their hands, and the boxing federation probably can't wait for him to hang up his gloves.

I feel sorry for genuine fans who have bought tickets to watch him fight, I'd like to know how they feel about what's unfolding. Throw in the recent injury and the drugs accusation, this fight is very quickly drifting into the shadows.

I got my money back for the fight this week, there is just too much baggage with fury, he is not reliable.

A mate in work asked me if i was going and i said no because i didn't want to pay a booking fee on a fight that wouldn't happen,he bought 2 tickets and has lost £25 on booking fees and postage and isn't interested in watching the rescheduled fight and has got the refund.It was a marvelous achievement to go to Germany and beat Wlad,the fight was a stinker,but since then Tyson seams to have turned even some of his hardcore fans against him,all the talk of not caring about fighting again or hoping Wlad ko's him has lost him a lot of money and fans,the original fight in Manchester didn't sell well and i'm sure the rescheduled date will prove no better.I just don't think it will happen as i can't see how everyone will get paid from an event tucked away on a specialist channel,might be wrong but i just have a feeling it's cursed.

You have to say that despite Hearn's reputation for wheeling and dealing and taking boxing to a place where the purists perhaps would prefer it wasn't, you have to say credit to him for dodging that bullet. The platform and the build up to this rematch has been nothing short of a shambles. A combination of the shoddy attitude shown by Fury, and the poor promoting by Hennessy and Co. have almost put this fight into an untenable place. Even if Fury won, and showed some interest in taking another fight, who's going to take it on?

It's ironic that Fury gave Haye so much stick about being injured and having to postpone fights.

It would have been today, dammit

Tired of Fury. If he wants to be this generation's Buster Douglas that's his call, but I won't be cheering him on.

Same here mate, I've always been a massive fan but my faith in him has dropped massively in recent weeks. I've stuck up for him so much and now I'm being made to look silly

I agree. It's one thing to injure your ankle, but to be seen out getting rat arsed in france, that's just taking the piss.

You know, to be honest, I think I actually believe Haye now. I've had a rotator cuff injury for a year now, and tried to avoid surgery, done all the physio and it's still there.

I thought he was full of shite at the time, but now, I think it's probably genuine.

Do you just ring them up? I want my refund too.

Was literally a few weeks ago one of my workmates text me saying he was out in Birdcage in Manchester and saw Tyson in there, I didn't believe him so I went on Twitter and searched "Fury Birdcage".. Found tweets from literally hours before, its obvious that he didn't want this fight, whether he genuinely isn't up for it or is trying to wind Wlad up, I have no idea

Ticket's gone back, awaiting refund.

If it actually does happen, I'll wait til nearer the time and get some tickets on the cheap. It was far from selling out first time, and it isn't going to a second time either.

I was all in for Fury win, however as some have mentioned, the antics since the cancellation have really f**ked me off. If I go, or if I just watch it, I'll be hoping he loses to be honest.

I've had the same injury mate and it still gives me pain every now and then. Unfortunately it can be one of those injuries that never really heal properly. I did believe Haye, it never made sense to sign a contract if he didn't want to fight, if he was that scared of Fury it would have never got to the signing stage.

You send the tickets back in the post and they refund the ticket price back to the point of payment. Phone them and get the address should be on their website aswell though

Cheers mate I'm bang on this. I have fornicate all money at the moment and am about to try and stick GGG-Brook on the credit card (although it will sell out straight away.) Fury-Wlad 2 is a proper fight but I can't be arsed being dicked around any more.

Surely Fury will take this though. He's certain to make quite a few million out of it and then he can just retire if he wants. He'd be a fool not to take this. If he loses he loses.

I rang to get the address and the first thing that happens when you get through to customer services at Eventim is a recorded message saying "if you are returning tickets for klitschko fury fight then send them to this address..."

I still had to talk to somebody because I didn't have the pen ready but it just shows you, this event's fornicating tanked.

It'll have to go to Germany, if it happens at all.

I think it's fair to say we're all in agreement that Fury doesn't care what people think of him, but if he steps in the ring, unfit, overweight and larking around cause he knows he'll profit regardless, he'll stick a big dent in the sport.

BN will be the laughing stock of the sport, Hughie's reputation would be in tatters, and it'd wipe the glisten of prestige off the face of boxing.

Klitschko is on SkySports saying he has no idea of the rescheduled date, and thinks that the Fury's are playing games.

Nothing seems to be confirmed for October 29th, however from the circular...

"OVILL MCKENZIE (Holder) v CRAIG KENNEDY

The above contest to be promoted by allegedly, will take place on Saturday, 29th October 2016 at the Manchester Arena."

Which wouldn't make much sense if not on the under card of Fury v Klitschko. Arena website doesn't have the rematch listed yet, nor anywhere else "official" that I've seen.

I don't know if he means everything he says, I suspect he doesn't. I don't know if this is purely a ploy of attention seeking. Whatever it is, it just stinks. I can imagine the fans are pretty underwhelmed by it all, BN must have their head in their hands, and the boxing federation probably can't wait for him to hang up his gloves.

Has Tyson Fury ever been that endearing to the public?

I Suspect they are playing games off sorts ,, Part of it is probably the drug thing they probably genuinly don't know whats happenning just yet ..But partly Peter playing the crafty man , and not wanting to give Klitchko set dates to get the routine happening and peaking at the right time ..
They may come unstuck though Klitchko is'nt stupid he's going to want the fight when he can come in on peak form , and i think he knows the money is more about wether or not Klitchko is going to want his title back and go for Tyson , has oppossed to Tyson wanting one last big payday .

Well I dunno, a lot of the public seemed to like him, that he's a bit more in tune with the general public. I personally think he's a pratt, but that's just me. Just feels like he'g going too far the other way.
