Comments Thread For: Frank Warren on The Fury vs. Klitschko Rematch Situation

[LacedUp]

The fight was to be where it earned the most. They switched from 50k + German stadia to an 18k seat arena, last I checked though the tickets were grossly over priced for the cheapest tickets, example 190 euros for the last Düsseldorf fight against Mormexk if I recall correctly the cheapest tickets were 25 euros, maybe they'll make more money in Britain with the ticket pricing I am unsure but one thing I noticed was this fight is far from sold out.

Klitschko has said his piece to keep the fans updated, Warren is clearly being pressed as it is his promotion, Warren does not speak for Wladimir Klitschko, you can take that to the bank.

Manchester Arena is the biggest indoor arena in Europe with 21k seats available. It comes at way lower maintenance costs, staff and waaaaay less risk than an outdoor arena + the prices in the UK are a lot higher.

+ it was signed there and 15k people already bought tickets.

Why switch? That makes no sense.

but again, I don't personally care.

Going by the ticket prices I have seen I expect it will make as much as a German stadium anyway.

Yeh you're right, I'm frustrated with the delay too and don't care as long as it happens at this point.

I think they'll lower their ticket sizes for this one.

Yup me too.

Yea but you compared him to Ali....ALI?! He would've dance around Fury all night, clowned him, then put him down. And that's nothing against Fury...it's just showing the demarcation between how good the two are--which one is good; the other great.

Where have you read 15k seats have been sold already ?

[BoxingFan85]

OF course it does. Ticket prices are totally different for an indoor arena + arena costs are way lower.

Ofcourse it is.. But Manchester is no Vegas..


Fury v Klitschko is priced at 125 GBP for the top tier & lets say the average tickets cost about 150-175 GBP * 18000 = 2.7 - 3.1 mil GBP

The ringside tickets were 2000 GBP * 200-250 = ~0.5mil GBP

Klitschko v Fury was priced at 75 Euro for the top tiers & lets say the average tickets cost about 100-125 Euro * 54000 = 4.5 - 5.6 mil GBP

The ringside tickets were 900 Euro * 300-350 = ~0.3mil GBP


Boente was on record for saying this is not as beneficial as it would be in Germany, but they are fine with it.. & I do not care where they fight as long as they do..

Welcome to business.

What is the connection with Asif Viali and Fluff Furry ?

The numbers aren't really sourced are they, their is nothing definitive there. It'll be a good thing if the fight has sold that many 14-15k with the correct exposure I guess it may sell out yet. You'd like to hope Klitschko has a few thousand fans in the UK prepared to pay and travel, I know their is a UK Ukrainian supporters club that organises event travel abroad and domestically over there, I attended the Kyiv vs City game in Manchester in 2011, happened to get into an altercation with Balotelli after the game also but the story will save for another time.

Asif is Fury's manager like Boente is for Wlad.. There wasn't a source to the news, but I believe there a lot of tickets available now when you try to book.. I dont think these guys are promoting enough & moreover 29-Oct is in limbo too Team Klitschko hasn't confirmed 29-Oct..

Lol - on the bolded..
