    Has anyone seen the pricing for this event on ticketmaster? I have watched boxing at the MEN arena a fair few times under a few different promoters and still definately thing the Frank Warren shows are the best value for money.

    Hayemaker are trying to charge nearly £200 for a pretty awful floor seat and around £100 for the nosebleeds! Its a real shame that true boxing fans are being looked over for the part-timers who are willing to pay stupid amounts for what will prove to be a short fight wth an fairly average undercard.

    Whats everyone elses thoughts? Follow me on twitter for boxing betting/opinions:

    I suppose it serves us right for wanting to pay money to see a very one sided fight with what will be a crap undercard.

    You can only get ripped off if you allow others to rip you off. Why pay to watch this joke of a fight?

    I KNOW I KNOW!! Im a sucker really but if its in my home city i usually watch them. I realise it wont be a good event but I wouldnt have minded paying £100 for a very good seat (like i did when i watche haye vs ruiz) on the hope of seeing something good. Im a sucker for an underdog story and just really want to be there if Harrison managed to pull it off.

    He obviously wont pull it off I know haha

    I didn't think the ticket prices were too bad to be honest. They started from as little as £25 but sold out almost instantly. Managed to nab some £60 ones which seem fairly reasonable.

    Yeah i agree with you to be honest mate, i went to ruiz fight and paid 150 quid for Block A Row G seat which was decent view could hear the leather hit etc, now i paid 250 quid for same block but front row,. it was abit fo a rip off, but im going coz boxing is my passion, and i want to get to as many as possible before i die. sounds stupid but there you go.

    I spent £100 on a Haye v Ruiz ticket and was sitting in the lower teir, near-ish the bottom but right next to the ring. Fantasic view and closer than i thought. I went back to hopefully spend the same amount on the same seats and it costs more than double!!

    Its because stupid, rich, part time boxing fans will pay it

    Yeah is pretty **** mate, i didnt want to pay as much as i did, but there you go. have a look mate on the men website etc or theres a place called seatwave which charges like double for tickets you would get for 30 quid, but if you really want to be at the fight, they are possibilties

    In block 105, a few rows from the front. They're at a bit of an angle so not ideal, but I'm not gonna complain for the price.

    Didn't wanna shell out too much for this fight. Thought I'd save my money and put it towards a Klit fight if it ever does happen.
