    £40 quid chepaest seat for the clevery wbo title challenge that also has groves vs degale

    now £40 for that is good as it will also have some decent prospects on the undercard

    BUT WHY...charge £50 cheapest seats up here in scotland for ricky burns title fight but with a very poor undercard????

    £30 would have been right

    Spot on.

    That's why Braehead was less than half full on Saturday night.

    Them £40 Tickets will be up in the clouds and you won't be able to see **** all. You'll be there to make up numbers and maybe to add to atmosphere

    At least it was a good bill though.

    Burns vs a clown and a load of other crap fights isn't worth £20!

    im guessing the cheap seats at the O2 are much further away from the action than the cheap seats at Braehead Arena or in Liverpool. still FW is a tosser none the less.

    I admit it was a much better bill than Burns Laryea but certainly wasnt as good as the O2 bill

    He charges what he think he can get away with and thats the case Paul Smith sells well in Liverpool so the prices go up.

    Burns is the only Scottish boxer that people can get behind so the prices go up.

    Big bill in London with unproven ticket sellers Clev Groves and Degale and large venue but good fights prices go down.

    its all economics and it takes the **** but he knows what he can sell a ticket for

    Or is it because burns isn't an exciting fighter? and was fighting an afrobum...and full up of average scottish prospects who were fighting guys at a days notice:good

    makes me think might be better off organising a ppv night - spend £15 or 2 x £100 for the same view?bit of a no brainer really. plus i hate the 02, it's apain in the butt to get to, we've got no news on undercard and one or 2 doubters already saying they expect at least one of the main attractions to pull out .think i might save my money for more enjoyable, smaller venues/nights and watch with my feet up with a takeaway n a nice bottle of red!
