Why Are You Brits So Concerned With How Many Tickets Saturdays Fights Sells?

unless you're ultra wealthy, you'd have to be a fool to buy a decent seat for this type of fight. the prices are outrageous, and any smart fan would simply catch it at a sports bar or chip in for $10 for ppv. how much do you brits pay for a seat at a big fight there?

 

I mentioned it before, I paid £80 to see Hatton vs Tszuyu which was about $40, the same price for Hatton vs Maussa and i've just paid £40 / $25 for tickets for Hatton vs Lazcano. Sure the seats won't be amazing but the atmosphere will definitely make up for it.

The beauty of boxing in the UK is, no matter where it is, it's never far away. So if Haye, Hatton or Calzaghe are fighting i'll always get a ticket if i'm quick enough. Some of the best tickets you can get for $150 / £250.

 

Where exactly is this planet that you can get 1 American dollar to 2 pound sterling???

I only ask because I just got back from Vegas and have a couple of hundred dollars to exchange...

 

You got it the wrong way round, mate. £1 is worth $2, so your Hatton/Tszyu ticket would have been roughly $160.

Anyway, I think this finally proves that the money isn't always in America. I'm sick of the excuses that fights make moe money if they are held in America by the promoters, fighters and fans. I had this debate with sues2nd before Calzaghe/Hopkins was finalised. We were talking about the fights location and I maintained that despite the betting/PPV and whatever else, the fight would make more money if it took place i front of a packed Millenium Stadium. Guess I was right.































...God, I'm a smug ****

 

Yeah you're right, i'm an idiot. Currency mix up ahoy

 

i pay just over $1800 for my season ticket for Man U. It also costs me $90 to get to home games and up to $150 if i got to go to Newcastle or Portsmouth..
Add in your FA cup tickets League Cup tickets and Europe tickets. its about $10,000 a year.

i was brought up with the fact that if you got the option to see it live take it with two hands and appreciate it becuase it will be much better than watching it on tv.

If the fight was in UK or east coast i would have gone to watch te fight but with it being vagas its to far for me to go after work on friday night and be back on sunday night and be ready for work on the monday
