Do you think they'll fill that or even close? Who is promoting/helping to promote the fight? Is Hearn involved again?

I'm not sure to be honest.

I think Fury is looking to fight the Martin/Joshua winner next and regain his IBF Title.
So with that in mind I feel he would work with Hearn to promote the fight and put it on Sky Sports PPV. If Hearn gets behind it I feel they could have a good chance of doing big numbers in a stadium.

I've also heard talks that this fight could be part of W@rrens first move into Sky PPV.
But W@rren is a distant number 2 in terms of promotion unfortunately and I doubt theyd get anywhere near filling a stadium let alone the M.E.N with him running things.

Its going to be interesting to see how this plays out...

Ah glad it's finally done! We start looking forward to the fight now and counting down the days. I expect a much less circus like build up though.

I'd expect they'd go stadium, maybe the Etihad, good venue for outdoor events. Interestingly though, it's the same date Hearn wanted to make the Brook super fight at Wembley, so they'll have to re-think that one!

I wouldn't mind getting a ticket & making a weekend of this, hope it doesn't sell-out within 45 seconds like Matchroom shows do.

I'd expect that it'd be easier to get stadium tickets then arena tickets. A lot more tickets on offer, and a lot more cheaper tickets in the stands. Do stadium matches usually sell out?

Won't happen in a million years but a decent title fight for Brook on the undercard would be great seeing as it's going to be ppv.

Wasn't involved the first time was he? Sky where, Hearn not.

Also never going to happen but what about AJ v Haye as chief support, winners face off?

I thought the two went hand in hand? he was probably involved in some capacity. If he wasn't he was certainly hanging around a lot. Was it not him who won the purse bids on Sky's behalf?

been talk of it being at Macron/Reebok stadium in Bolton in the local rag

It didn't go to purse bids; there was a deal done minutes before. Warren wasn't happy as he was expecting to win the bid, but Mick did a deal with K2 just before the deadline.

Hearn was supposed to provide the undercard but it fell through when Brook got injured, but then still wanted to get a cut of the PPV profits to put on a rearranged show. There's a Peter Fury rant on IFL about it which explains the situation (or at least, his version of events).

Correct. Not purse bids though.

wasn't sure. I remember reading him saying he was preparing a bid. Reason I am asking is just to try and get an idea of what channel it'll be on.

You can almost guarantee it'll be on Sky PPV. Hearn has already said that will likely be the case, as that's where the most money will be.

I've heard this aswell.

Makes sense. About the size i'd expect the fight to fill.

I see Fury winning on points again. Carbon copy of the first fight I reckon.

Same weekend as Wimbledon final, British Grand Prix and the Euro 2016 final according to BBC. Great weekend of sport.

Tv companies don't win the purse bids promoters do?? It didn't go to bids K2 promoted the event after doing a deal with Hennesey just before due to go to bids.

If you mean didn't Hearn win the tv rights on Sky's behalf, I think he claimed to have something to do with it but that was rubbished by the Fury's and Hennesey.

Sky sports PPV. Don't forget George Warren runs Sky PPV. Amazed how that channel that was going to bring the Sky sports monster to its knees hasn't quite worked out in the way they were making out during their smirking interview.

The day before the final of Euro 2016.

Be great if it was England Ukraine meeting on July 10th, wouldn't it 200-1 at the bookies. Get your money on.

fury will retain his belts

Yeah. I'll get right on that.
