"I think it would be a stadium fight. I think there would be the demand for 40-50,000 tickets," Hearn said.

I'm not so sure. Hearn and Sky can sell a fight but I'm not convinced there'd be enough interest for a stadium fight.

I keep saying this: I can't see Brits that interested in large number in watching their fighter dispatched by GGG.

[MDPopescu]

I think it's instructive that Hearn mentions 40-50,000 then the article states that the O2 is the front runner which holds less than half of that.

I'm glad to see that the Eubanks have put him to work. The speed at which this is coming together because any future working relationship depends on it, shows the 'efforts' that he supossedly makes for other big fights to be the bull**** that it is.

Hearn knows better.

[MDPopescu]

How about you announce the fight first?

He can't. It seems that Jr. didn't sign it.

that doesn't really matter, i don't think. sky sports will get the word out that eubank (a very famous name here) is facing the best fighter on the planet and the people will show up for the spectacle. i don't think british boxing fans care that much if their guy loses as long as it's a good show. especially with eubank, who has a bit of an antagonistic mayweather persona going on. people don't know that much about him right now but once his interviews start getting played on SSN a lot of people will probably start rooting for this unknown kazakh bloke

Hearn holds a big stable... You never know.

It will be a travesty if this fight is at the 02 and only around 7,000 tickets are made available to fans. Rest will be fighter allocations/comps/StubHub re-sells at inflated prices. This needs to be in a stadium, not necessarily Wembley (which is terrible for boxing, despite Hearn's blarney) but another venue with a 40,000+ capacity, plenty of them in and around London.

Stadium in England in September? When it's 95% raining cats and dogs?

They said stadium is only available between May and August for boxing, probably because of the weather.

I thought both parties signed already. Isn't it just the network now because eubank revise the contract so the fighters get paid more? Update me on this.

Update you? What am I? A news agency of some sort?

Eubank didn't sign yet, his father is making a huge noise claiming Sky needs to change their business, pay fighters first and more money. Whatever that means, they are already getting $4 million and want even more, quite ridiculous if you ask me. That delays it all, GGG would have signed last weekend.
