Tonight's BN card is a load of rubbish

Haha he really does I was going to go to that Mathews fight but I was at Wembley for Liverpool in a cup semi final! Yesterday there was a river festival on a few hundred yards away from the arena too, I was thinking as we drove in they need to google upcoming events.

 

BN dont have the stable of fighters to put on decent domestic cards mate its pretty dam embarrassing think its time for Frank to bow out...

 

Matchroom will kill Boxing in the long run Sky should ditch this exclusive deal and share out the dates with other promoters all we are seeing are the same **** on Sky same fighters no variety i miss Maloney Friday fight nights ....

 

I agree. I hate the way Hearn has the right to do what he wants and get away with it.

I also agree that the Bellew card would always attract more but had they not been so close together there would have been more there last night.

 

I remember not so long ago Bellew sold out the echo when he was with frank. I doubt he could do that now with Eddie even though he is a WC.

 

Aye??

His fight with makabu did over 17,000 and the echo holds just over 9,000.

 

My bad! I thought the echo held 20k like the MEN. Apologies

 

Nah it's a lot smaller although i like the echo because even in the nose bleeds you get a boss view.

 

Wasn't that the one where there were something like 900 people there?

Don't get why he doesn't use the Olympia tbh

 

Yea maybe a little more but certainly no more than say 1500-2000.

I can never understand why the aintree equestrian centre doesn't get used more.

Can hold about 4-5000 and you'd think it would cost less than the echo.

 

Everton park is a decent little venue aswell

 

Yea could prob get about the same in there as the olympia.

I remember watching gary thornhill beating dean pithie in there.....christ am old....

 

Everton Park is going next year. North end of the city getting shat all over as usual while the South gets looked after.

Aintree and Olympia are good especially the latter, loads of character.

 

I have been to a few cards of Frank's now and enjoyed them although they are rarely a sell out. I think his problem is he has stuck to old school promotion, basically believing that just because a fight is made it will sell. Whereas on the other hand you have Eddie Hearn who sells a lot more tickets for fights like Brook Bizier just because of how active he is, he is constantly promoting and his face is everywhere. Don't see how Boxnation and Queensberry will survive if they keep going the way they are.
