    Did anybody manage to see the Eddie Hearn tweet before he removed it regarding the fight pre sales ?
    He wrote "Surprise, Surprise" I think....

      Is this true Dirk or sarcasm,I haven't seen any mention of it anywhere apart from a boximg article I read only today.is he insinuating the fight sales were poor ? The article I read suggested this.i could link it,but it is to another site.

        Insinuating? He's been flat out stating for weeks that Chisora-Fury is "dying at the box office".

          Top ten by boxrec stats huh,are they realistic enough even though they only have two guys before him before the champion Wladimir ? Yet his biggest win to date,over three years ago by the time he nests fight might i add,is Chisora.and folk try tell me his career has gone forward,laughable.
          Fury has bearen 2 top 10 fighters - Chisora and Cunningham. Wilder hasn't even fought anybody in the top 30.

            Think I'll opt for a refund. I'm not paying full whack to see Fury vs Mr. A. Latvian.
            Thompson would be an amazing late replacement though. Tempted to get a ticket from a tout for a bit less if its a vaguely interesting replacement.

                He's 12 with Boxrec, I just checked. And 6 with the IBF, which is his highest ranking now.
                I like Boxrec. I think their rankings are more legitimate than the alphabet boys because they are impartial and use a points system to rate boxers, similar to the way the ATP rank tennis players, rather than going on politics and who is or is not eligible to fight for their belts.

                  Either Chisora is completely faking like most of Haye's injuries or there is a legit injury.
                  OK, I didn't read he said breaking his own hand. I thought it was faking a hand injury.

                  Either way, both scenarios are completely far fetched, and of course Chisora is injured. They've more or less rescheduled the date already, so. Which in itself is completely dumb as no one quite knows how well a fractured hand is going to heal up.

                  Wouldn't be surprised if they either postpone again or cancel all together.
