    Was just checking out the arena where Munroe will be fighting tommorow. It must be the Sumo equivalent of York Hall. Looks awesome.

    That does look quality but I think most Sumo venues look like that, members of the crowd often get squished by a 400 pound geezer in a nappy hurtling towards them - all adds to the atmosphere. Madison Square Garden must be great for boxing and in this country the York Hall has a great feel and for a large capacity arena I don't think you can beat the Ice arena at Nottingham - not a bad seat in the house

    I've been to a few but I would say that Colne Muni in Lancashire is the best small venue to watch boxing that I have ever been at!

    :deal

    MSG is where i always dreamed of boxing at, i love when Cotto fights there.

    Other then that..York Hall is great for nostalgia..and atmosphere.

    York Hall, no matter what the price of the ticket you get a quality view. The Thomas & Mack Centre in Vegas is also very good as are most Vegas venues.

    I would never want to purchase floor seating at the MEN as there are certain seats mean you have no chance of seeing anything due to people standing up and being a mile away from the ring.

    My favorite is the Borough Hall in Hartlepool, it's like the York Hall but more intimate.

    Looks absolutely awesome. Win, lose or draw, Munroe has a brilliant story for the grandkids.

    I don't think Rendall will freeze fighting in that joint. He'll just lap it up and enjoy the occasion all the more.

    That looks brilliant!! What an arena.

    People have mentioned this on ESB before but Wimbledon Centre Court would be an awesome venue for boxing.
