    I'll be there hoping I don't get sat behind any members of the Fury family...

    That was kind of my point but thanks for emphasising it for the cheap seats...

    Usually £35 if there are tickets available. If it's sold out your best bet is to do a couple of laps of the Dundee Arms and see if anybody has a spare they'll sell at face value. Other than that, it whatever the touts outside are asking...

    I'm not sure "lovely" is the right word, especially if you remember the toilets the way they used to be, but yes, it's a must do and the atmosphere is always great.

    £35 sounds pretty good. Ye I need to go to more fights, can't tonight but I'll keep an eye out on the upcoming cards. I'm just a tight ******* at the best of times and my mates don't really like boxing. I managed to convince one to go up to Nottingham with me for Froch-Dirrell, he's still not speaking to me:-(

    Dont be soft doyley :D its a REAL boxing venue no football chants no bloody celebs killing off the atmosphere (tho u get the odd proper celeb fan like Joe Colein there) its got an aura about it . Never a dull night in bethnal green man. That, to me, is lovely coz its our sport being fought in front of real fans in a real venue

    I agree with all of that, but I'm still disputing the use of the word "lovely". Speaking of Celeb fans, there was some bint who was on big brother fighting on the undercard there last year some time and a few "celebs" from big brother turned up to watch her (sorry, I couldn't name you one). They all spent their brief time there looking as though someone had just farted next to them. Watching them was far more entertaining that the fight.
