.........and YOU were the promoter, what size venue would you book?

I can't see many casual fans who saw that dross on Saturday, paying their hard earned money to watch the same again. 'm a Fury fan and I wouldn't pay 20p for that. So.... I'd book Manchester Arena. No way on this earth does it sell out Wembley.

Horse........ Have you ever bought a ticket for a Fury fight? A simple yes or no will do.

None of your business.

Given that probably between 5,000 and 10,000 Brits went to the first fight in Dusseldorf, with no undercard, when many people thought it was a mismatch, to say claim that a rematch in the UK would not sell out a stadium is laughable. Perhaps it wouldn't quite fill Wembley or the Millenium but anywhere else.

Japery aside, I don't think Fury-Klitschko II would sell out Wembley. The first fight potentially could have done as lots of boxing fans would have turned up just to see Wlad before he retired, but I doubt he'll carry the same lustre now he's lost again, especially after the standard of his performance on Saturday. And Fury is not historically a big draw himself, so a Manchester Arena size venue sounds about right to me if the rematch took place in the UK.

Hmm, Torn on this. I think an awful lot of people would go, just to see a heavyweight world title fight on home soil. ~After all, that doesn't happen often.

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.

You see, I would pay to see Fury against pretty much anyone except Wlad. I hope he makes a voluntary defence first.

Plenty of others would. Just to get pissed up and say 'I was the world heavyweight championship of the world.'

I wouldn't pay more than the 16 quid I did for the first fight on TV. Even if Fury came out and spanked him in the rematch, I expect Wlad would be like a sitting duck, and it wouldn't be much of a fight.

Wlad was looking very sorry for himself in there indeed, I think he'd wilt mentally if they fought again. Typical on top fighter, when it has gone against him, he has always lost. He managed for a decade to shut down his opponents, but Fury's uncle needs to get a lot of credit for spotting the way to beat him, exciting or not.

I think it's a Wembley fight look at the amount of press the first fight got but personally I'd rather see it at old Trafford. I'd certainly buy a ticket.

I never thought I'd find myself applauding the quoting of scripture on a boxing forum.
But we'll bloody said Sir.

Might not be as big but Boltons ground would be a good stadium to use

It could do wembley but it would need the full support of a matchroom undercard. Get AJ as a chief support maybe in an eliminator and this would definitely capture imagination.

Fury on his own, yeah Manchester Arena is about right.

Undercard wouldn't matter (especially not a mismatchroom one), undercards matter with shows around up to around 10,000 as its boxing fans. For something to be a big 20,000 + it has to be one the type of event that sells as an 'event' so that as well as boxing fans you get the bandwagon types who just want to be at the event.

I think Fury/Klitschko would become one of those type of 'events'.

Look at Froch/Groves 2, Frampton/Quigg etc sold out before any undercard. Its a sad state of affairs because it means us boxing fans who would also like to go 1) have to contend with these dickheads for tickets and 2) get a shit undercard.

I agree, people would flock to it, as a one-off event. Loads of the casual fans would go. Maybe we could get Joe Pasquale as the undercard?

He might be busy on a Matchroom show....in the away corner against one of Hearn's 'stars'
