all the aj vs wilder talk, but is fury vs aj the one? the biggest money maker at hw? lets face it, most of the hw money is in the uk, and fury is much bigger known in the uk then wilder.

does aj vs wilder become relatively smaller if furys back and winning etc

Warren has a terrible habit of making very poor fights, Fury will fight a nobody for a few fights. Well lets see if Fury does actually fight in June and the show doesn't get cancelled.

If Fury picks up where he left off, no. He wasn’t a big ticket seller and didn’t draw an audience.
The impression I get is that his popularity has gone up whilst he has been inactive but we won’t really know how genuine that is until his next contest.
At this moment the money comes from Joshua fans and they will probably pay to see more or less any Joshua fight, but are not likely to want to see him v Fury than they are to see him win ‘the last belt’.

Agree with this massively, Fury is incredibly boring to watch fight, press conferences his up there with McGregor, but fighting style not many people enjoy watching.

My guess is that there will be a pick up in interest when he fights again precisely because he's been away for so long. How does he look, will his style have changed, what indications if any will appear to show whether he can get back to the level he was at and so on. But, this interest will fade once we've seen him. If he comes back to win two fairly mediocre fights against, say, Cornish and Ustinov, how many people will be queuing up for twelve rounds of Fury v Charr?

I've got a sneaky feeling Fury will target Wilder and the WBC title, fighting 3/4 Yanks on his way to facing him...

I know it's early days but there are as many tickets available as you want and at £47.50 for the cheap seats it's a big ask.
