Fury is a star, breaking records in two different countries….and for years all the matchroom shills, st George cross waving brexiters, and Nigerian casuals swore to us that Olafemi was the top dog in boxing for selling tickets to the sweet Carolines

Fury knows what's up. Honestly, media obligations for some fights is unneeded....the fight itself will do all the selling.

flakey fury is just one fight from another meltdown, all he does is talk of retirement, he will be gone very soon

Britain and the world waking up to the excitement of the #1 HW of this era.

I dont believe these reports, 'Gypsy-Bum' Tyson Fury was exposed by the Farmer Martin Carefoot recently, not to mention drug addiction and his visit to the looney-bin, the scandals made headlines in UK. Tyson has been fighting at 3-4am ( UK time ) against the 'Bronze-Bum' Deontay Wilder, Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin for three fights in a row.

The times Fury fought in the UK he stunk, the fans left the ExCel Arena vs. Dereck Chisora, and would of done the same when Tyson fought Franseco Pianeta at Windsor-Park if Carl Frampton wasn't the mainevent.

Something just does not add up, Frank Warren is behind it I'm sure it.

The biggest boxing crowd this century, not bad at all.

Was he not? Was it everybody's imaginations that more ppl went to watch Joshua than anybody else? Times change but for years what they said was exactly the case so I don't understand what point you are trying to get across other than you sound like a salty little man.

The Bronze-Bum used to be your hero lol. You accusing anyone of lying is a joke. You have zero honor. Nothing more than a snake full of hate. Fury's success has ruined you and it's so fun to watch. The lies you have to tell yourself just to cope is quite sad though. Slither away snake.

Fury has it just about right. They haven't done a bad job if Wembley has indeed sold out. 94,000 will be an impressive attendance even for a big fight like this.

If they sold for an average of 100 quid a ticket, that's about $12 million. UK PPV might be a million people at 25 quid, so another $32.5m, but BT sport could take half of that. Let's say then that Frank gets $28 million from ticket sales and UK PPV. Still a long way for Frank to go to claw back the $41m he bid for this fight. Let's hope the rest of the world sales can cover Queensbury Boxing's arse.

I think Frank will ultimately end up making some money, but I doubt he's going to be minting it. In summary: not bad is about right.
