    "I think it would be a stadium fight. I think there would be the demand for 40-50,000 tickets," Hearn said.

    I'm not so sure. Hearn and Sky can sell a fight but I'm not convinced there'd be enough interest for a stadium fight.

        Well - you may be right. But Hearn is the promoter and he's the guy has to put his money where his mouth is - literally. So I guess we're gonna find out.

          I am less sure

          Eubank is exciting but not necessarily sure he has a huge following of people who would come to pay to see him top of the bill

          However GGG is a great attraction, but again not necessarily sure just how many hardcore boxing fans with the likely high ticket prices will go - although i will

          Also punters are paying top dollar to see AJ three times a year and Haye also puts shows on so there which despite the weak opposition do big numbers so there quite a bit of competition

            Personally I think they'd sell out Wembley... If this fight lands in the O2 they will sell out in a couple of minutes. Feel free to disagree, we'll see when the ticket sales start.

              I think it's instructive that Hearn mentions 40-50,000 then the article states that the O2 is the front runner which holds less than half of that.

              I'm glad to see that the Eubanks have put him to work. The speed at which this is coming together because any future working relationship depends on it, shows the 'efforts' that he supossedly makes for other big fights to be the bull**** that it is.

                  My casual mates who only care about the big fights are interested in this

                  I said to them if its in the UK we should go and they lapped it up.

                  Ggg might not be a big name over here but a lot if people know his reputation from beating Murray and macklin, and Eubank might not be huge yet but we all knkw his name and a fight likethis would sell well

                    Eubank's biggest payday ever, and likely the biggest ever for GGG when the dust clears. Looking forward to it.
