    Would be very good for Froch.
    But!!
    Nottingham Arena seats 7,000, surely they could find a bigger venue close by?! :think

    N E C Birmingham?

    "The LG Arena (formally The NEC Arena), host to large music concerts, is part of the complex. The 13,000 capacity NEC Arena was the largest multi-purpose arena in the UK when opening in the mid-1980s and although no longer the largest it is still a popular venue for touring acts."

    Still think this is a tricky one for Carl....and would be wise to stay at home

    Of course you can't. You'd have to write nice words about Bute. :D

    A September date probably mitigates against an outdoor fight. MEN Arena is only 70 odd miles away though and has three times the capacity of the Nottingham arena. Birmingham is even closer and either the NIA or NEC have twice the capacity of Nottingham Arena.

    O2 is horrible to get away from at that time of night, as people found after Haye v Maccarinelli. MEN is closer to Nottingham, same sort of capacity as the O2 and more accessable.

    props to both, Im really starting to like Froch. No the most skilled fighter but he has balls and he really seems to want to fight any and everyone. No excuses just fighting. Gotta love that. Lets see if Bute will nut up and fight.
