Yeh i went to it. i thought it was decent. watched half of the hughes fight which was good. Benn is an exciting fighter and tries to win, he is still raw and his opponent was bad. Katie Taylor fight was a mismatch and dull. The main i was gutted about. They ****ed up by running out of beer about 9.00 with two hour queues beforehand
Always the case with stadium fights. Last one I went to was Brook v Spence and I didn’t even bother getting a drink.
Yeh i went to that as well. I went to the selby vs warrington that was pretty decent about 20 mins how many does manchester arena hold
I take it the former WC in late 30s was Stiverne that he said coming off losses? Like Hearn said, Hughie is fighting 3rd or 4th on Matchroom card and now he is toping a bill fighting someone that lost to Wach so it makes sense for Hughie for less risk/ more reward.
I was with the warrington side and they about 20 mins because they had pints prepared already and just gave it the punters.
Noticed Hearn has mentioned Kinahan when talking about Sky 2 or 3 times. Cheap move. Can see the bitterness in his eyes when he talks about Sky staying in boxing.
Glad they've finally got boxing cards lined up, shame they're terrible but not going to complain about more boxing.
Not really. No one under 40 uses Twitter really. Kalle was saying the other day in an interview with Eubank Jr that the average age of a U.K. boxing fan is 43.
So DAZN have launched an app for a sport where most of the audience is over 40? Great visionary from Hearn and co. Eddie's the most overrated promoter in the world. Tony Khan has done what Hearn couldn't do, he cracked America.
I just found an article that says median age of US boxing fan is 49. Kalle said the average age is even higher in Germany than U.K. Eddie is looking at the betting market and building an app targeting gamblers- I think that is his play
