I think the British care much more about this than the Americans.

I'm afraid Americans don't care about it at all.

Especially in Los Angeles, a city always eager to support the Latino smaller guys, but not very excited about the heavies.

At least in Las Vegas, it could have drawn the gambling crowd.

I don't know why they felt there was a compelling need to put on this fight before the end of the year.

If it was slated for January or so, Las Vegas arenas would have been available.

I reckon it'll sell out, against expectations.

I'd be surprised if it sold out. Although admittedly the fact that this fight has actually been signed is a big surprise to me.

It depends how expensive the tickets run. So far a $75 minimum in the Staples rafters has been announced.

We'll have to see what the ceiling is.

Of course it's likely that the house will be heavily comped so that Staples doesn't look half empty.

Any idea how many Brits might trek across the pond to catch the fight?

It wouldn't be too surprising if more than half the crowd comes from the UK or are transplants currently living in the US.

I might get this, I am usually up around 5 during the week so doing it one day extra isn't a problem.

It will be around 5 anyway.. LA cards are usually late.

Brilliant, I'll get up, watch the fight, grab another 40mins post fight before my daughter wakes.

Won't be missing it

It's a great fight. People should be getting behind it instead of hoping it fails.

People will get behind it as it gets closer.
Don't forget we have two of the scattiest chooks in the hen house here.

Even if it fell through its just an excuse to be in la really but I think it will go ahead. They will look like absolute gobshites if this falls through and lose any credibility. Too much to lose

But isn’t this the final fight of Fury’s deal with Fwank? It’s not like Fury is ‘his’ cash cow really, he’s been with Hennessy for the vast majority of his career.

Yes but any serious cash is going to made from now onwards if Fury were to beat Wilder
