    If your were a multi billionaire with the mobile numbers of all big promoters how many dates could you fill with big headline fights?

    What would they be?

    Lots of boxing and Heavy Metal would be my choice.

    -Haye might choose the 02 for his next fight;
    -Warren is sure to put more shows on there- especially should Khan win the WBA strap then it's a given he'll defend at the 02.
    -Hennessey may take Froch there as well as putting Murray-Thaxton and Fury on the undercard- although Froch won't be fighting against Bute, unfortunately.

    Plenty of options out there for all concerned. Personally, I think GBP should put a show on there as well; the UFC model needs to be replicated, IMO, for boxing to be more accessible to mainstream and casual fans.

    That's a shitter, mate.:-( I hope you get all of your money back- it's crap when gigs you've been really looking forward to go down the swanner, although in this case the main act dying is obviously the worst thing that could have happened. I extend my sympathies to you.

    How much did that cost you?

    I missed out on tickets when they first went on sale, so I checked a ticket website and prices were £200 each for the cheap seats!

    I feel for you, considering you had such fantastic tickets to what looked like a great show.

    the money /refund is not an issue right now, still shocked and saddened on what's happened!

    I will probably get the money refunnded for 2 tickets and keep 1 ticket as a memoir. See how it all goes down.
