    The O2 is so much better than Nottingham Arena or the MEN. You can actually use the toilet - get some food drink without having to fight through crowds of **** heads.

    you kidding me ? i had to battle through **** heads to get a toilet while i seen a few wankers nealry lift a guy selling beers head off cause a bit was spilt on him ... i think the MEN is a better placed areana and can accomadate loads of fan leaving at the same time unlike the O2 whoch was a disaster

    How can you blame a boxing promoter for not arranging how you get home.

    I booked the Thames clipper, was waiting for everyone with a brain who booked tickets for it after the fight. Was at London Bridge about 30 minutes after the decision. Glad everyone else struggled, it's not rocket science. Plan your trips.

    Very few empty seats, the touts sold most of theirs weeks ago on eBay but there were a few of the scumbags hanging about outside as usual.

    I think the very few empty seats were genuine because I spoke to a bloke outside who had 2 spare £1000 ringside tickets for his friends that couldn't make it.

    Any chance of another Rule Britannia style write-up regarding hotel, venue, crowd make-up etc?

    No seats near me were empty, although the first undercard fight was supposed to be 6:20 and didn't start till 7:30 does anyone know if there was a reason for this? Seemed to be quite a large amount of people in the arena for the undercard too which was nice to see. Heard that on EBay they were going for 3K though.

    Did Ward not fight as planned? Boxrec dont have his result, to be honest I only got in the arena ontime for Bellew as was only bothered about him Smith, Groves and Froch's fights.

    I couldnt see any empty seats either
