    What arena was you in? Fans were still chanting as he walked out after the interview. I thought the crowd was a good boxing audience due to how many came in early for the undercard, casuals dont usually give a crap about the undercard.

    The MEN arena. It was half empty/half full by the time Hatton got out the ring. The real question is how many people were left after the main event? Myself and about 20 others.

    I'm not saying it was a **** atmosphere at all, I just ****ing bored of the same chant over and over.

    The atmosphere at the Hatton fight felt very manufactured with the band there, it was on par with watching England at football.

    I loved the atmosphere for the Bute fight, it helped that there was genuine excitement when Froch started letting his hands go.

    Watch the Hatton fight again and listen to the crowd every time he connects, which was not too often

    Smigga was always a bigger draw before imo. Quigley, Dodson and DeGale fights especially.

    Price is though as you say gonna be huge!

    Been a few Froch fights (Pascal, Dirrell, Mack) always been a tremendous atmosphere and must say always seems to be a lot of proper boxing fans from around the country go to his fights.

    I was there this weekend gone and I was a little bit disappointed by the atmosphere. When the brass band weren't playing, there was hardly any noise to speak of.

    Hatton could sell 90k tickets for fight with Mayweather at Wembley.

    is this post tongue in cheek? was about to slate it but i've a feeling you are knowingly taking the ****

    Theres patriotism about your city and then theres this :nut

    Price has no chin, thats a fact. He has immense power but he needs to protect that granite chin of his with all his life.

    Not saying he cannot be a champ, but he really needs to be a safety first fighter due to his well below average chin.
