    I reckon they sell out within 17 hours.

      It’s a sell out.

      Khan is a celeb, think he would
      be the A side even if Brook is the better overall boxer.

        I honestly think this fight isn't in huge demand anymore

        I mean the matchroom hype machine is impressive and Khan does still have name value so I think they might squeeze 50k out of it.

          I don't think it would be as big as it would have been a few years back. Even a year back.

          The back and forth has got boring. But If it was signed then the promos and 'beef' started, then it would catch attention.

          People were talking about Wembley back in the day. I don't see it like that now, but I still think it sells out a good sized stadium.

            Hard to say. It might sell out or get near capacity. Once the Sky hype machine get behind it, the casuals usually lap it up. It wouldn't sell out quick, but it wouldn't surprise me if they could almost fill it by fight night. It'd be a stretch though, i doubt it'd be a complete sell out.

            Realistically they could probably fill a smaller stadium, 40-50k or something. I don't think they would have much trouble filling it by fight night.

            Right now it's a fight that nobody cares much about anymore, but if it gets signed and then gets promoted, the public will still buy into it. It's still a pretty big fight for the casual market, just not a relevant fight in the grand scheme of things.

            Let's be fair, if they do step in a ring together, we'll all watch it.

              Not very. The AJ/Hearn casuals have had the wind knocked out of their sails with the triumphant return of the Gypsy King. Hearn is trying to bleed the fans dry, sticking all sorts of drivel on PPV. Think Brook-Khan would be better up north either at Bramall Lane or the Macron Stadium.

                Once it gets hyped it will probably do very well. Doubt it sells out Wembley though

                  A darts tournament would sell out half of Wembley ffs.
