RE: Joseph Parker - Msreef - 09-01-2017 (09-01-2017, 01:21 AM)U.K. Fight Fan Wrote: Peter Fury put this in his twitter two hours ago... Has the TV network that this fight is to be broadcast on in the UK been officially announced yet? If not, they are leaving rather late. You'd think they'd want to promote it heavily on that network beforehand. RE: Joseph Parker - U.K. Fight Fan - 09-01-2017 (09-01-2017, 01:37 AM)Msreef Wrote:(09-01-2017, 01:21 AM)U.K. Fight Fan Wrote: Peter Fury put this in his twitter two hours ago... No not yet. Most likely it will be on ITV4 PPV. Yeah, they are leaving it very late. Only other fighter who fights on ITV PPV is Eubank Jr. His last fight had a good undercard and decent promotion and only did 85k buys. RE: Joseph Parker - markk - 09-01-2017 (09-01-2017, 01:21 AM)U.K. Fight Fan Wrote: Peter Fury put this in his twitter two hours ago...lets hope it true. Joe must have been gutted to mis out on a couple of million last time. would have been tough to get up mentally with your purse dropping so much in last fight. i think we all underestimate how much of a difference that would have made. RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 09-01-2017 Little furore over Fury as Hughie struggles to pull a home crowd for his Joseph Parker fight Joseph Parker and Hughie Fury will contest the Kiwi's WBO world heavyweight belt in Manchester at the end of the month. Hughie Fury is proving a tough sell in his own backyard with tickets sales very slow for his WBO heavyweight boxing world title fight with Joseph Parker. Parker defends his belt for the second time when he fronts against Fury at Manchester Arena on September 23. Parker's low profile in Britain – this will be his debut there – always put a question mark about this being a blockbuster fight. But Fury's inability to draw a home crowd has some perplexed. The Manchester Arena has a capacity of 21,000 for boxing. But Fury's promoters aren't even trying to sell seats to the second tier which holds nearly nine thousand. A ticket sale map shows that only around half of the remaining 12,000 seats have been sold just three weeks out from the fight. Any fears of the fight being canned for a second time after Fury failed to front in Auckland in May, eased when his father and trainer Peter confirmed fight purse payments had been made to Parker and his backers at Duco Events. They amount to more than $2 million and ensure the fight will proceed, ending a frustrating and tense time for Duco. This comes at a time when Britain boasts about becoming the headquarters of the heavyweight division and this fight has a genuine world title on offer. A boxing forum on the ticket situation had several blaming Fury's inactivity and poor profile with this being the first time he has fought in Manchester in his professional career. Fury hasn't fought a genuine bout since April last year and his inactivity has cost him his WBO Inter-Continental title. His ability to gain and then maintain the WBO mandatory has been perplexing. While he is No 1 with the WBO, he has dropped off the independent rankings at Boxrec. Parker sits at No 7 on a BoxRec heavyweight list headed by Britain's Anthony Joshua.. - Stuff RE: Joseph Parker - Ibeabuchi - 09-01-2017 this fight isnt going to happen, wheres the promotion? ticket sales are abysmal the furys are poison RE: Joseph Parker - mippy - 09-01-2017 (09-01-2017, 08:16 PM)Ibeabuchi Wrote: this fight isnt going to happen, wheres the promotion? ticket sales are abysmal I reckon its on. The Furies have money on the line now RE: Joseph Parker - NakiFan - 09-01-2017 Money is in Escrow account. It must go ahead RE: Joseph Parker - diehard - 09-01-2017 Don't see Mr Higgins and Joe giving the money back. The Fury's have committed. They'd lose all credibility getting out of this. Twice. Once in their backyard. RE: Joseph Parker - U.K. Fight Fan - 09-02-2017 I think it'll go ahead. I reckon they'll do around 8k tickets with sponsorship's and a bit of PPV revenue. Should be enough to make the fight viable. Can't see Fury pulling out again either. That being said, only a couple of weeks away now so time to start the friendly banter... Fury is gonna box circles around that lump Parker. Easy work boys! RE: Joseph Parker - NakiFan - 09-02-2017 Huggie Fury is the UK version of Daniel Martz The only furious thing about Huggie is tyre pulling ability. Tyson can box, Huggie can pox. |
