Parker vs Fists of Fluff Fury, only 3k seats sold.

[Jewish-Reptile]

Yea true. If they only sold 3k seats with 9 days left in a 21k seat venue someone is gonna get "injured" in the coming days I'd be willing to bet.

Why the f#ck are they in a 21k seat venue any damn way? Is Hughie THAT much of a draw?

Sounds like by pushing a British judge and referee on Parker when it's contractually obligated their should be neutral judges they're hoping Parker pulls the plug, BBBoC likely in on it too, I still believe Hughie and Tyson are suspended and their is simply a gagging order preventing press releases, the meeting scheduled next month is likely the end of their suspension. If Parker pulls out with an injury or contract breach issues Hughie likely remains mandatory, the WBO probably even know he's suspended but believe with him being a UK fighter it's a lucrative fight to keep alive.

All sounds like conspiracy theory but its what I believe and it don't sound too far fetched.

Really, really poor decision to book a 21k venue. There was no way in hell this fight was going to fill that - probably not even half of it by touch gloves time.

Boxing is on a high in the UK right now, no doubt about it..but even the super-marketable AJ can't drag the poor cousin-Fury and outsider-Parker up to relevance in that part of the world yet.

This whole situation is ****ed. Just think - if Fury took his beating like a man back in NZ where the fight SHOULD have been, we'd be past this mess and Parker could be stepping up again.

Fists of Fluff was never goin to NZ dude cited injury days before the fight when he should have been in the country a fortnight before like Parker has been in London the past week and the whole of next week.

Dude should have been stripped but the WBO see Furry and think he's got a huge fan base because of the superb job Hearn does with his stable tapping into the soccer fan base exploiting Sky's sports news channel with blanket coverage, fight week they go wild and really know how to push the product.

Hennessey and the Fury's are made for each other. Even before Tyson got suspended and they had a date for the rematch the tickets weren't selling well.

Probably whats stalling Haye and Bellew aswell, both waiting to step in if the fight gets cancelled

Those promoters got Parker early and locked themselves in, but now they have no clue what to do at the next level. They need to just get out of the way and hand it over to someone else and take a small %.

They already did. Arum/Top Rank gots Parker (+ Horn in the same deal).

This situation seems like Arum + DUCO entrusted Hennessy to deliver on something he couldn't deliver for whatever reason anyone else can feel free to speculate on.

Parkers last fight was terrible and Hughie point fights .The build up has been poor and many lost interest with the Fury circus . Peter himself has become annoying on twitter mocking the Parker camp on getting a U.K ref . Odds are they thought the Fury name itself is all they needed ...oops .

Really Parker needs to go through with the fight even if ten ppl show up and rid these Furys with a huge Knock out ,these guys are horrible . Without Hughie their one string to boxing is cut off from any relavancy here .

I think Tyson is for real...when he gots his sh^t together. Hughie on the other hand I don't understand wtf people are seeing in that guy to suggest he can compete at a high level right now & idk that this guy is even a ticket seller. Sure all ships rise in a high tide, but its only into relation to the size of your ship lol. Idk if Hennessy took that into account with thinking they could put Parker vs Hughie in a 21k seat venue & sell it out.

[Randall Cunning]

Its not all lost just yet, still got all the cash from the hundreds that watch on Youtube PPV to add yet

Thats a hell of a game of chicken they are playing.

I'd suspect Parker's side is confident enough in his chances even with a ref they don't like that they won't pull out cuz my assumption is he's getting paid nice to come to the UK in the first place so I bet it'll be Fury's side that'll have to come up with a story to cancel/postpone this fight to not a big L money-wise if they can't sell tickets.

[Boxing42]

The promotion for the fight is pretty terrible but all y'all haters will bow to the fury dynasty when they both really retire #WarFury

Arum only runs things on the U.S. Side I believe.

The fact arum openly called hennessy a amateur makes me believe he had nothing to do with that side of the deal.
