    Yeah, that's BS that the Brits have to have their fights that late just so we can see it in primetime.

    The 2am start time doesn't bother me, **** I mean on a friday night 2am IS prime-time. As long as there's some decent undercard action and pubs that are open I'm all for it, means I'll be nicely pissed by the time the fight starts.

    And yeah, 50,000 is impressive, but I'm not kidding you'd get double that if Hatton - Mayweather was over here. Hatton was gonna bring 33,000+ fans to Las Vegas for ****s sake. Can you imagine how 90,000 Hatton fans in Wembley stadium would sound? It'd be ****ing insane.

    To be fair though, which would create more revenue? 50000 drunken brits at a football stadium or 15,000 suits in a Casino at Vegas? That was a serious question btw.

    I honestly do not see where this horrible teeth issue comes from with brits? Most brit girls I know have perfect teeth and certainly no bad breath.

    Amazing ,isnt it!

    Great fight crowd! Not like one of Kostya's fight in the USA were no more than 1.200 fights fans wanted to watch Kostya live taking on an dagerous foe on American soil.

    By the way the Czech Republic is great ,too.
    Whenever Konecny fights at home in Prague,the t-mobile arena(capacity 13.000) is sold out.

    Kiev's central soccer stadium(capacity 100,000) would probably be sold out within hours if Wlad fought there no matter who the opponent were.
