If Parker vs chisora went ahead ppv, why wouldn’t this one?

It can and I’m sure it will but I wouldn’t expect more than a couple of hundred thousand people if that would buy it.
Given they are already doing the hard sell on the tickets I’d be surprised if the tickets for the event sell out today.

Yes I don’t think they will sell enough tickets .

Think it was the other way around, Frank Warren said they were meeting on a Monday to discuss details and Fury decided that he’d set a deadline for AJ to accept, knowing he legally couldn’t yet. I honestly think Fury didn’t expect AJ to accept so after AJ publicly accepted Fury set the unrealistic deadlines to get out of it without losing face.

According to Warren after the Monday deadline Fury allowed discussions to continue to Friday. Even then, and with offers of an intermediary AJ wouldn't sign.

It had nothing to do with AJ signing, they were planning a mega fight worth an absolute fortune. The amount of work that has to be done on a contract like that would be ridiculous, Fury knew there’s no way AJ could sign within that sort of time frame. Think about how long it takes lawyers to look over & figure out small contracts, imagine millions of £s now being involved, multiple different companies, multiple broadcasters, etc

Yet the chisora deal was done in a week so it shows it was possible.

Mega fight??? fury’s the draw internationally speaking
the idea AJ is too big s name to negotiate with us frankly laughable.

AJ and Hearn are to blame, completely ducked fury, didn’t deserve to be in the ring with him
Anyway. Hopefully this will be a warmup fight for fury v Usyk

Yeah I didn't even think it was up for debate anymore to be honest but I just let people with their agendas on here crack on.
I don't blame AJ either by the way, I think it would have been stupid to fight Fury after 2 losses in a row.

AJ is a massive name
Fury is definitely not the draw internationally speaking, AJ is the bigger draw and always has been. Regardless of who’s the bigger draw, the AJ fight is a mega fight worth 100 of millions of £s, Fury Chisora is a small fight that will do awful numbers on the ppv.
I’m not a AJ fanboy but the amount of nonsense people believe regarding Fury is laughable, he constantly lies and contradicts himself and yet people somehow believe him when he says AJ is the one who refused to sign?

Fury is the pound for pound best in the world, as long as we don’t count Usyk, Canelo, Spence, Crawford, Estrada, Taylor, Bivol and probably a few others

Based on what

Well AJs top 5 ppv numbers have been 1.96m, 1.58m, 1.57m, 1.37m & 1.24m. Where as Fury 1.7m, 1.2m, 800k, 750k & 300k. So that’s one way of looking at it, you could also compare social media followings, on instagram Fury has 5m and AJ has 15m

1.9 v 1.7
Yes that’s sorted that
As for social media does that make Beyoncé better than AJ then.
