Ticket sales for Parker - Fury are piss poor at the minute. Not sold out tier one yet according to the seating plan and tier 2 hasn't even opened. Can only be about 2k sold so far. Hopefully they announce a decent undercard and sales pick up. If not, I think it could be about 6-8k in a 20k arena which is ridiculous. Real possibility of the whole card getting pulled. Warren has a history of pulling poor selling cards.
Is Frank Warren involved or is it Mick Hennessy running the whole thing? I would have thought that if Frank Warren ran the show that he would involve Billy Joe Saunders and Terry Flanagan on the same card although Flanagan is carrying an injury at the moment.

The history of pull outs would hold back people from buying tickets. Motel bookings, travel, time off work...hopefully there would be a surge on fight night.

Mr Higgins is NOT gonna be happy! Can't really move it to a smaller venue and charge more money. Who would come? Maybe a YMCA down the road in Manchester? Nah. Doesn't make Team Fury look good, what with all the broo-ha-ha about not coming to NZ. Why can't you sell the fight Hughie?

he's not a main event level fighter tbh
it actually appears that they have decided to close the outer tier which is probably a wise idea

who's putting on the fight? Duco or Warren?

Both, I think. Definitely Duco, but they (Mr Higgins) can't do it without local promotion.

Looks like peter fury and fat mick have done a deal with Haye possibly for Hughie.

Wonder if they trying to unsettle Parker - it was well publicised Haye coming to Parkers aid with training, accommodation and security

Wasn't Huggie giving Joseph Stick about "looking past him" at the presser?

How can Parker trust Haye's Gym now?
All they have to do is tamper with his water and he is finished
Nothing feels trustworthy with these guys - literally nothing
