    Simple question, which of the three will sell the most tickets - on paper should be the one in Liverpool but 3,500 for Lee Saunders makes that look like it could bomb as well, groves has sky behind him and then there is hayeday

    Haye is the biggest household name for the casuals, I'd rather see Mathews vs Flanagan personally

    I too voted for haye, simply bigger name not just in boxing circles either due to various television appearances

    not sure haye should on paper but he doesn't have TV hyping the fight plus didn't groves do good numbers when he fought for the euro title after the Froch loss?

    Haye is the biggest *****
    Matthews should never be near a world title contest
    And Groves should have retired after last fight

    I think Groves bill sells most, as it is being run by two groups of promoters who know how to shift boxing tickets in this era, unlike the other two promotions.

    Groves in my opinion, casual fans are turning out for Matchroom fans so I can see that continuing, Groves is a very big name and has a pretty solid fan base. Flanagan vs Matthews should be the best but in my opinion Flanagan is several levels ahead of Matthews so that's a gimme fight just like the other two.

    How many does the copperbox hold? Pretty sure Haye only has to sell half of the 02 to beat Groves selling out the Copper Box.

    8k I think. Haye will be lucky to get that for his comeback.
