Fury vs AJ could be held at Cardiff's Principality Stadium... but a 2am start time is being rumoured 🤔
Promoters want to cater for the US audience... but are they making a mistake?

Nope

Will need one hell of an undercard!!
jamie.theodosi1w ago
Jack Catterall called out Teofimo Lopez for a fight on the undercard today. That’d be decent!

It’s on UK soil. That’s all you can do!

Not good enough!

No different from hydration breaks at the World Cup in air conditioned stadiums. Money, money, money; it’s a rich man’s world.
markmarston2w ago
This.

Probably a blessing in disguise! These fights rarely live up to the hype after this long a wait, see Mayweather Pacquiao

I think someone’s getting chinned in 3 rounds

It’s a joke but does anyone actually care? Should have happened years ago and there’s always a problem as to why this fight can’t happen. Boring now
markmarston2w ago
It should’ve happen years ago but I’m still very excited for it can’t lie. Understand those who are a bit bored of it all…. But when they finally face off and have all the pressers, it will get the juices going again

I gave up caring about this fight years ago but a 2am start is ridiculous. I could understand midnight but any later is taking the mick out of fans. This whole situation has been a mess from start to finish and a fitting end would be for the fight to flop

Imagine the outrage if Americans were made to stay up till 2am to watch the Super Bowl 🤣

And they wonder why uk fans are losing interest 😂to be honest, I’m not surprised. Then again, at least there will be a good atmosphere, instead of the sterile Saudi fights
markmarston2w ago
They’ll be half asleep at that time! Will be a great atmosphere but not as good as it could’ve been
kyle.dimond2w ago
Yeah, not good enough. We’ve seen similar things with the UFC in the past. It’s just not the same putting it on at a time like that.
markmarston2w ago
Fans will be half asleep in the crowd… atmosphere won’t be the same
george.patten2w ago
Ofc I’ll stay up, but it’s a disgrace that the Americans get it when it suits them. This should be the best of British boxing putting on a show for British fans.

2 English fighters fighting at 2am? This sport is becoming a joke
dale.odonnell2w ago
Sport in general. Football has become a circus, and lest we forget LIV Golf…
dale.odonnell2w ago
Absolute circus.
eoin2w ago
Thats AN absolute joke, no two ways about it. Every week now something comes out that shows sports has become all about money
markmarston2w ago
100%…
jordan.ellis2w ago
It’s a silly time but getting it in the UK is the most inpaortant thing.
freddie2w ago
I won’t be watching it if it’s that time. Joke of a sport right now
markmarston2w ago
True, but this is just as important if a lot of the British public aren’t even going to watch it. Kids across Britain won’t will they? We need to inspire the younger generation and this fight would’ve inspired a lot of young people to attend boxing gyms… we know the positive impact that can have

2am for US viewers who won't give a flying backside. Unless it's for other reasons. Either way, the people involved need to make their money because its the biggest pot they will get. Good luck to the police dealing with this. I would be shocked if they allowed it.
markmarston2w ago
Literally… US fans hardly care. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I’m now realising there’s actually a lot of fans who won’t even watch it at the time, they’ll just wait till the morning. That will hurt the promoters massively. Hope they all reconsider this
markmarston2w ago
I’ve wanted this fight for so long… but I’m actually debating whether I would even stay up. Feels so disrespectful to the British public that they are forcing fans to stay up in the middle of the night to suit the US fans… never happens the other way does it? Might watch it in the morning & if others feel the same, they are making a big mistake
