Bad blood not the best organised

Franks booked the o2 for Furys next fight 28th feb

 

I heard people had to go out through the gates to get to the toilets, then use the tickets to get back in? That's ridiculous. Some say it took them 45 minutes to pee and back.

 

I'll never go to watch a fight at the ExCel arena again, absolute farce.

I've been there twice now, once this time last year for the Matchroom Kevin Mitchell + Purdy/Bundu bill and then on the weekend for Saunders/Eubank - the place is a glorified warehouse.

This FW card however was a complete waste of time. The organisation of it all, the security etc it was a joke. For obvious reasons involving 2 certain fighters it was clearly going to be a lively event, but the security were either completely non existent or useless.

- People stood and sat all over the place.
- An absolute mission to get to the toilets which resulted in people ****ing in cups or the floor
- Not allowed your drink in to watch the fights.
- Duplicated tickets.
- Whilst starting at 3.30pm the whole show still overran.. I stayed to watch both Georgie Keane & Steve Foster Jr's fights which ended at 2.30/3am.. most who left either before or during Fury Chisora would have missed there trains.
- Some bloke who was stood on his chair got side winded and knocked clean out, he was lying on the floor for a good while and got no help.
- Only one way out of the arena so the traffic was nuts, no taxi's around the area meaning if your hotel was a 10 minute taxi journey away you basically had a 3/4 mile hike on your hands unless you got lucky.

Whole thing was a shambles.

Avoid the ExCel and carefully choose what FW shows you go too.

 

I've been to the Excel once, for an exhibition, and it was a farce then. I'd never go there again unless I was being paid.

 

To be fair I went the Matchroom show at the Echo the week before and the ****ing situation was a sham then too.

 

The excel isnt the problem as i went there 4 different nights during the olympics and it was excellantly run with added toilets and bars all over the place. ****** skimped on everything , thats why bad blood was a cluster**** and the next time he has a show at the excel dont bother buy a ticket , just walk through as i did as no one bothered to look at my ticket
