    Some are yes, not all. Seat wave had over 18,000 available alone AFTER the tickets were 'sold out' from official retailers.

    Clueless-far from it. Let me guess your now going to claim these are actually just 2 tickets for sale 9,000 times....

    Phoned matchroom sport this afternoon, asked if they had any tickets available for Froch-Groves.

    They claimed categorically this event is sold out, there are no more tickets available. I asked if they possibly had four thousand tickets sat in the draw which they hadn't shifted yet and they said no sir, the event sold out very quickly.

    Made me wonder why they would not want to sell two of the four thousand tickets they still have left. Their business model won't last long if they refuse to sell tickets to fans.

    Is my money not good enough for Matchroom?

    I had planned t travel down from Glasgow for this fight but when the tickets sold out as quick I cancelled. Touts are wankers. Hope they're out of pocket.

    Not really mate, the tickets on Seatwave are listed through individuals, at a higher rate than they were SOLD for at face value. Can you show me verifiable proof that Matchroom sold face value tickets directly to 3rd party outlets or did you just make that up to suit your argument? As from what I am aware, sites like Seatwave are resale outlets but the tickets available are put up for sale through individuals.

    Also my original point stands as if you'd do some research it was revealed that United were submitting sales as attendance's, as opposed to the amount of people in the actual ground, police attendance numbers and official numbers simply didn't get anywhere near to adding up. So if United can call a sellout when all tickets for said game are sold, surely the same applies to Boxing? As I can see no valid reason why it shouldn't.
