    What does it mean if the undercard fighters shifted a lot of the tickets? It could just mean that they know a lot of people who wanted to watch a Tony Bellew fight. The fact that that half the tickets were sold by the undercard fighters doesn't mean that Bellews name only sold the other half.

    Yeah, I agree. I've lots of friends who try to get me to come to their band's gigs and often it comes down to whether the headliner is good as well.

    I fully agree, also the local lads derry matthews, rocky fielsing & tom stalker had entrance to after show parties included in with some of their tickets. People get them from the fighters as they speak on twitter as well, the seats the boxwrs are allocated are good seats and you don't get stung with the ridiculous admin fees the echo arena charges per ticket.

    When Carl Froch speaks about him and Kessler being "warriors" everyone on here hangs him out to dry, and then Tony Bellew starts banging on about being willing to die in the ring.

    The difference is, Carl Froch is continously in exciting, gruelling fights against the absolute elite. Complete and utter wars against Pascal and Kessler (Taylor and Johnson to lesser extents aswell) aswell as literally charging towards the most feared puncher in the division in Lucian Bute, eating his best shot and then walking him down. If there is such thing as a warrior in boxing, Carl Froch would have every right to think it's him.

    By contrast, Tony Bellew bangs on about being willing to die in the ring, comes out, gets his ears boxed off, looks a bit clueless, throws an unsporting headbutt in frustration, hits thin air, gets his ears boxed off some more, bangs on about being robbed and then has the audacity to tell a wonderful chap in Chilemba that his own trainer thought he lost. The only reason he's got a free pass from this forum in the past is simply because he posts on here.
