Yeah, the arena only filled when Khan was on. The people behind me came from Wales and had no clue who Mitchell was and thought Prescott was a Brazilian who beat Khan lol. I think the West Ham fans like Mitchell, there's two at work who know **** all about boxing, but were talking about Mitchell's last fight and the funny KO.
Mitchell will use his "West Ham" supporter idenity to the max...This, along with the amount of Aussies in London will ensure a huge crowd of around 20-25,000...
you get wet....... But there will be a canopy above the ring that all the lights and sound stuff will hang from, and that'll protect the ring from the rain.
Are there that many Aussies in London? How many boxers have tried using the look i support this team trick it works to a certain extent but he has to be known for this to work 2 months? is that enough time to get him out in the public eye i dont know both are going to have to do a lot of shouting about themselves
He's gonna need to stack this undercard. Cleverly in a Euro. Britsh Heavyweight title fight. Enzo Mac vs Norton Olympians. Tony Bellew. Got the Walsh's on there, they bring fans. Who've I missed?
Wicky 'one of the lads Man City fan pop out to the shops for condoms' Hatton :rofl I ain't posted here long but that Betty Swollock's hate for Hatton is easy to spot and ****ing funny.
Sky need to hype the **** out of this thing. Play a bit on the British/Oz thing. Maybe draw a few parallels with Hatton (working class lad, fighting for first world title against Aussie fighter etc). And the West Ham thing as people have said.
Does anyone think this could be a sign that Khan will definitely be on ITV? What I mean is, it looks more appealing to SBO having a fight in a football stadium than just a normal arena and he could make more money aswell from staging the fight at Upton Park.
I think Ricky paved the way but its not a formula easy to replicate in such little time whilst its easy for football fans to pay £20-30 week in week out to watch their team its not as easy converting that to watch one boxing match and that is a sad fact even though most would probably be quite inclined to the idea but boxing just isnt worth £30 for the causual fan atm. Frank needs to stack the card and pay out for LOADS of promotion and marketing for this his purse bid was $515 000 he is going to lose so much money on this fight he is banking on Mitchell winning then fighting a big US name and making a ton of money on the PPV for that. If not he will have invested an awful lot in Mitchell for no return, have to admit though Frank has a knack for getting just the right fight Tsyzu, Barrera etc
seetickets need ****ing shooting. 10% booking fee, a £2.25 transaction fee then P&P. Daylight robbery. You've said a lot over the past few days that this fight will sell well and get 25,000 or whatever and I just think you are vastly, vastly overrating the interest in this fight. I hope Warren stacks the undercard with everything he's got and he might stand a chance. I'd take grant's undercard and happily go. And grant-you missed the Burns v Martinez fight that surely needs to go on this bill.
Frank is at a turning point here he has some real class in his stable but needs 2-3years for one of the real stars to com through Gavin Degale Ste Smith? And then maybe 1-2 for Clev Bellew Brook to reach challenger level on the world stage Mitchell is all he has in terms of star power. If Froch was in his stable now he would be in that star position whilst the others came through no doubt about it.
