    I went to Froch Groves 2 and it was great at Wembley. 100% would go to see GGG.

    You echo my point entirely.

    My instinct tells me that the majority of the 80k who were in attendance for Froch Groves II will feel the same and watch the next Wembley fight from the comfort of their living room.

    To me it is utterly pointless to go to a stadium to watch a fight live, and end up watching the entire fight on the stadium's television.

    Probably around 78k people did exactly that for Froch Groves II as was the first fight at the stadium so had no experience of how awful it would be as a viewing spectactle.

    Why would anyone pay to do the same again? People learn from their mistakes surely.

    With the prices Hearn would charge I would be much happier watching it from home. With the sort of money I have and the cost of the tickets I know I would be in the gods watching 2 dots fighting so to me makes sense to watch it from home. will it happen, I am not sure and will it sell Wembley, again I am not sure but if the fight does happen I will be watching it as it could be one of the all time great fights... I like Froch but I would be putting my money on GGG to stop Froch in the later rounds.

    Did you watch much of the fight on the Wembley tv screens?

    Not just the gods seats either. Wembley sight lines are horrendous, you are too far away from the centre circle pretty much in any seat bar a couple of thousand.

    Not debating the quality of the card. It wouldn't matter if it was Brook Khan, Haye Fury, Degale Groves and Frampton Quigg. I wouldn't watch at that stadium I'd watch on tv.

    Why pay to sit in a stadium seat and watch their telly? its bonkers.

    How about Golovkin-Froch and DeGale-Groves II on the same card?
