If Wlad decides to take the rematch option then I expect that the fight will be in Germany again on a K2 promotion.

Same as me. Wouldn't want to watch a rematch but would watch him fight anyone else.

I'm not sure about Wembley stadium mind, takes something a bit special to pull that off. I'm not sure those two can sell a fight quite that big.
30-40,000 perhaps.
Man U ground - you'd have a lot of empty seats though I suspect.
I think that if Fury can make a case for it being in the UK, it's possible it could be there.CharlesListon wrote:^^^^leejonesjnr wrote:If Wlad decides to take the rematch option then I expect that the fight will be in Germany again on a K2 promotion.
Yep. I'm sure the contract will have stipulated it.
I don't really see how Wlad taking a fight in the UK when he could run the promotion himself in Germany would be cashing in?jamesmcdonnell wrote:I think that if Fury can make a case for it being in the UK, it's possible it could be there.CharlesListon wrote:^^^^leejonesjnr wrote:If Wlad decides to take the rematch option then I expect that the fight will be in Germany again on a K2 promotion.

I think whatever the result of a rematch, Wlad will probably call it a today anyway, so why not cash in?

But as we remember from Lewis/Botha, without an attractive dance partner the crowds won't come.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Tuan_Jim wrote:Do you gentlemen really think the British public would show up to watch Wladimir Klitschko?

They would be turning up to see Fury not Wlad. Fury is the champion now.
I was there for Lewis/Botha, the arena was full ? Not saying it was a sell out (can't remember) but it was fullTuan_Jim wrote:But as we remember from Lewis/Botha, without an attractive dance partner the crowds won't come.jamesmcdonnell wrote:Tuan_Jim wrote:Do you gentlemen really think the British public would show up to watch Wladimir Klitschko?

There were 11,000 at the London Arena to watch Lewis-Botha.Tuan_Jim wrote:But as we remember from Lewis/Botha, without an attractive dance partner the crowds won't come.
Hello Steve! Where do you get that attendance from? As I recall Boxing Monthly stated the fight drew less than 5,000.SteveO wrote:There were 11,000 at the London Arena to watch Lewis-Botha.Tuan_Jim wrote:But as we remember from Lewis/Botha, without an attractive dance partner the crowds won't come.
That is incorrect. The gate is not miniscule.Wales wrote:The gate is only a tiny fraction of the income, minuscule infact. It's all about selling the fight to tv stations across the world and PPV income.
Just think how much it would be if he teamed up with Matchroom and peddled them out through StubHub..!jamesmcdonnell wrote:That is incorrect.

40,000 people at an average of 50 quid a ticket ( a conservative estimate) is 2 million quid. That's hardly miniscule is it?
