    I see this takes place in Birmingham in September. First two guests announced...Evander Holyfield and Carl Froch (maybe PPV sales for Froch-Kessler II weren't so good ;))

    Prices :

    Holyfield autograph - £100 or £125 depending on the item being signed. :shock:
    Froch autograph - £40 or £50

    Photshoot - Holyfield £50. Froch £35.

    Nice souvenirs and memories to have but if you're a Holyfield fanboy in particular it could be a very, very expensive day out.

    Are they building up Holyfield vs. Froch in 2014? :think

    On the one hand, it would be surprising given Froch didn't even want to climb seven pounds to meet Cleverly or Hopkins - but on the other, he probably would beat Holyfield and it would give him ammunition to prop up his resume behind his claim of being the greatest Brit since Lewis (whom the Real Deal held to a draw, you'll recall :deal)

    Who is going to pay for a Carl Froch autograph? He really is something else. So unlikeable.
     
  5. Only boxing is so capable of ripping people off so badly

    Would David beckham possibly the most recognised sportsman in the world charge
    No

    That is mental!! For £50 i would want a gobble off Froch's missus.

    A Froch autograph is never going to be worth £50 and Holyfield's will never be worth £100 unless something fight worn is being signed.

    If you got dinner, a speech, a photo and an autograph then I would think £100 for evander would be fair. Who the ****s actually going to pay?

    ive been to the last couple of these and have had a great day out ive managed to get been and watson tyo sign an original poster from there fight ive got tyson and bruno to sign one from there second fight also got jake la motta and calzaghe to sign shorts, i know some people think they are a con but at the end of the day i enjoy collecting memorabilia, however i will say holyfields price is a joke and i wont be paying to get his autograph, benn , watson and bruno were only £20 each which seems good value compared to holyfield

    Holyfield is skint. Does Froch really need to charge for an autograph or a pic? Why not give something back to the fans.

    Holyfield has 11 children - Evette, Emani, Ebonne, Evander, Elijah, Ewin, Eilijah (again), Eden, Eli, Eleazar, Eve

    Each autograph can pay for a new pair of trainers for one of the Elijah's, or a months worth of school dinners for either Eli, Eden and Eleazar or a years worth of bird seed for their pet parrots Eric and Ernie!

    Holyfield is doing a few after dinner charity talk shows this year.

    Including one in Norfolk.

    Must be skint!
