Matchroom need to mix up their choice of locations...

They fight in Sheffield, Manchester and if ticket sales were better would fight in London more often too.

Where else do you recommend?

Edit: Surely this needs to be direct at ******? We're onto Rock the Box 7,831 at the moment aren't we?

 

It's a very stupid point regarding 'Rock the Box'.

Continuing to call the shows 'Rock the Box' is very simple but clever marketing. It gives the shows an image and identity. Hopefully people will look forward to the next 'Rock the Box'.

Frank has an exclusive deal with the Copper Box so there can't be any confusion with other promotions.

 

You know full well that if Hearn has a deal with the Copperbox he would be doing exactly the same.

 

You do realise they don't get close to selling out? It's an absolute failure on every level.

 

Doesn't buglioni sell something like 20% of the tickets for those shows?

And in fairness when he looks to see how his show in manchester is selling it probably shows why he doesn't go out of a mid-size arena often nowadays!

 

No one remember the Hearn show "Carpe Diem" where Joshua was debuting and it was about 1/8 full? London is just a ****ing **** hole that no one wants to go to to watch their fighters, not even the ****neys like going.

 

The question for instance were else would you get 10k to watch Ricky Burns fight?
Promoters will have there top fighters box in there catchment area always

 

Londoners have a vast array of things to do. When the boxing comes into whichever shithole you live in it's a welcome respite from your mundane life. :good

 

Matchroom don't want to be going into administration every couple of years that's why they do what they do

 

Leeds Arena surely next?

 

Eddie refereed to this thread on his Q&A with Kugie haha

 

Well Matchroom is doing something right with it's choices.60 thousand plus in Wembley isn't a bad days work.
