Yeah it was some fella they had on the radio show for an interview no idea who he was so yes could have been anyone. But I was always of the impression that the GAA were very difficult to deal with when anyone wanted to host anything other than a GAA event in Croke Park.

Hearn seems to say otherwise here. He's a fucking shitebox anyway but doesn't seem off the table yet.

Ali fought in Croker back in the 70s so it's not without precedent. I guess we'll see.

Saw earlier on that the Dublin fight is cancelled.

Tickets for KT are 80e to 750e. Gonna be tough to get. Haney fighting Loma in Vegas that night as well, which should be a great fight.

Hope AJ gets beat and retires on Saturday. Been spammed by the cunt all week. Hearn is really pushing the PR.

Will try to get tickets but don't have much hope I reckon fuck all of the cheaper ones will be available most will be held back and touted by Ticketmaster. This event will be a goldmine for them.

Did they not bring in a law a few years ago that made selling tickets for anything over face value illegal in Ireland? I know these rules would apply to us and not Ticketmaster but I have been trying to get tickets for Peter Kay over the last few weeks and the cheapest resale tickets I have seen were €77 even though tickets were originally only 40 something.

Have always liked Fury even though the dosser shite got annoying really quickly. I don't like Usyk but the way Fury has behaved over the last few weeks is disgraceful and he has lost a lot of fans over it. Fair play to Usyk for agreeing to the 70/30 split but even that wasn't enough to make the fight happen.

Ya, it's gonna be tricky. Outside of TM which will be bad enough, the prices are going to be insane.

I like them both but def think Fury is acting the cunt. The two AJ fights were made easily, as well as Usyk accepting the 70/30 split so it's definitely on the Fury end.

Thought Usyk's wife calling him the gypsy queen was gas.

Saw the first 2 and the last 6 rounds of the AJ fight. Messy shite. Nothing said about him holding the back of the head in the clinch and 3 taps after the bell in 3 separate rounds. Fury, Wilder and Whyte would all take him. The first 2 easily.

Got two tickets fairly easily this morning. Went for the cheapest ones so shite seats but it will still be great.

Ticketmaster has been a fuckin nightmare. No luck yet.

[mickO)))]

I think the presale sold out after a few minutes. I went on a few times after I got my tickets to check if I got lucky or if it wasn't selling as fast as expected and I was never able to get any tickets up again in any of the price ranges.


Joshua fight was shite. I can see Fury taking the Joshua fight now next cause it will be an easy win and even though it will be shite it will sell very well.

Ticketmaster and Eddie Hearn. What a combo!? I have a few more avenues to try so still hopeful.

Glad you got sorted anyway.

[mickO)))]

Cheers. Hopefully you get sorted. Main sale is 10am on Wednesday I think.

Great stuff from Shakur Stevenson last night. He's a wrecking machine. Calling out Haney is completely underestimating Loma. That should be a good scrap.

Flicked over to the last 6 rounds of Bam Rodriguez after. Gonzalez made it awkward with all his moving so none of the usual angles from Bam but enjoyed it and a good win for Bam.

Joyce's lack of head movement got exposed last night. Zhang is a decent boxer and can hit hard. Based on the evidence of last night i think Joyce would be beaten soundly beaten by likes of Fury, Usyk and Joshua if he ever faced them. Wilder if he hit him clean would probably knock him out too.

Reading the I Am Duran book at the moment. Rewatching some of his old fights too. A nice fella if you know him socially, five feet seven inches of evil if you didn't.
