    I think Froch will break his live attendance audience record with this one. They will probably sell at least 5,000 tickets in the first day they go on sale.

    The thing is Froch needs the casuals on board.

    Agreed, for any boxer to make it big they need a certain level of support from casual fans. There simply aren't enough 'hardcore' fans to fund the sport in this country and at this level, but I don't think a 275m difference will make any difference. The people of Nottingham won't turn against Froch just because he fights at Meadow Lane. The City Ground would be everyone's preferred option, I'm sure, but there isn't really a heated rivalry to make it an issue.

    The same people who would watch it at the City Ground will watch it at the County Ground.

    Or do you think it would be a different 15k people?

    I think I would be, tbh... but it doesn't sound like there is too much rivalry in Nottingham.

    Very little, maybe a bit of back and forth, but nothing compared to a team like Derby, for instance.

    City of Manchester wouldn't be a bad call.
