    Hearn will tell us it will be amazing, guess what it will be ****, he said Froch vs Kessler undercard would be amazing same with Froch vs Groves 1 both were terrible undercards. For the amount of money it will generate this card should have a Quality! world title fight, not Quiggs joke belt passed off as a title fight against a guy ranked 20 in the world or something. Undercard fight should be Brook vs Porter that is the kind of fight should be main support but it won't happen Eddie is too tight.

    Name a 'Stadium' Bill sell out in this Country since McGuigan/Pedroza, that was not sold on anything but the two fighters in the main event? The only one I can think of was maybe the two 'world title fights' under Tyson/Savarese, but that is still a bit of a push.

    The reason they fight in a stadium is because the fight is 'too big' for any arena, thus any undercard is merely garnish...

    But if its at Wembley and they want a sell out there has to be a big co-main event I feel as well.

    The viewing is better at the emirates and I think they are more likely to sell that out.

    Interesting. Will have to keep an eye out if I don't get tickets. Is that just outside the gates or on the web?

    dont think you will struggle for tickets there will be over 80k on sale

    cant see it selling out unless they do 3rd tier for 20 quid or something

    you will end up watching it on the big screens anyway you wont be able to see a thing unless your ringside wembley is huge

    went to the 1st fight think it will be tv this time
