Did Froch vs Groves 2 live up to the hype ?

The Touts lost a lot of money, obviously. About 40k showed up.

 

was never going to be as good as the first in terms of action

 

There was a lot more than 40k! It wasn't 80k but remember Wembley holds more than 80k, so there was always going to be empty seats. Most of the empty seats were in the cloud, so could well have been coach packages.

That said, the atmosphere did not blow me away as I had expected it to,

 

wasnt the usual boxing crowd, or certainly not to the events i've been to previously. Southern ponces in blazers, trousers that were too short for them and daft haircuts. Maybe the atmosphere suffered a little because of this.

 

the event lived up to it for me, it was a great show and great matches on, and tv was good too.

 

I say yes. It was competitive and interesting and then BOOM! Hell of a finish. Got the conclusive answer that was needed.

 

compared to the many other events that have not lived up to the hype I am certainly not complaining about this one, its very rare in boxing to see a decent fight with a decent conclusion. it would have been perfect if the fight was more of an all out war but a think the conclusion made up for it, it wasn't a hearns hagler fight but the ending was.

 

Spot on, the ****s were everywhere.

 

they have money dont be jealous,

 

London fashion - we can't all be kitted out in dodgy miners outfits with hotpot stains.

 

Thousands of empty seats in the stadium and the fans were frequently booing due to a very poor fight until the final punch.

Looking up from the pitch, the fight of the night appeared to be in the top tier above the dugout area where one fan was knocked down at least 30 steps and still kept going for another 5 minutes.

Some good finishing punches on the night in every fight but the main event was very poor.

 

I reckon there was no more than 60,000 in the stadium watching the fight.

Empty seats everywhere including the pitch.

 

The atmosphere was very poor for such a big fight and crowd.
