I wanted to get some tickets after work, ah well. Just shows how healthy the sport is doing in the UK.

Press conference about to start.

You work in Manchester City centre ? How is it the Hughie Fury Parker fight sold so poor, I take it ITV platform is as lucrative as the Sky platform, surely Hennessy needs to get his fighters on the channel.

Couldn’t get a ticket!!! ******** idiots, now it’s going to be prices at stubhub for like £250

That is indeed what a real ticket sellout looks like as opposed to Hearn selling all the tickets to StubHub and claiming it's been sold out.

Hughie doesn't have any fanbase & nobody knows who Parker is. The fight wasn't even on ITV, it was PPV on YouTube lol. Only Matchroom fighters are on Sky, Hearn has an exclusive deal. Hennessy has, or had a deal with Channel 5. It's free to air but small league compared to Sky.

Couldn't get any myself. Couldn't get on till about 10am, when i got on they only had the £400 ones left.

Love Groves, to come back after 3 title losses and get that WBA strap is highly admirable, hope he wins!

Surely getting a deal with ITV should be a priority then for Hennessy, free to air fights would surely help build the profile of live attendances ?

[SkillspayBills]
