    Who said 25k+? The MEN doesn't have that many seats, and they can close off an area and put fewer staff on.

    My point was that 7k isn't enough.

    They could easily sell 25,000 tickets for this at the City Ground if the ticket prices and the advertising are good. They could do special offers for Forest season ticket holders and stuff like that. I honestly think they could get 30,000 people as its 4 weeks after the football season finishes and the City of Nottingham could make it an event.

    I am suprised they didn't go for the City Ground even if its not centre pitch.

    Wait until the sky machine gets behind this fight. For everyone that's on here it doesn't need to be hyped but for your casual sports fan who watches sky sports news they will know exactly who bute is after the press conferences. This fight deserves to sell 20,000 tickets. If matchroom can shift 8,000 tickets for brook-hatton then for sure they can sell this

    Sometimes due to cost 8,000 in a arena is better than 12,000 in a stadium. I think this can do close to 20,000 though. I plan on going.

    Even I'm seriously considering going (even if everyone I know ends up being a **** and I just go on my own).

    This can do 10,000 plus comfortably IMO.

    Wasn't that the kid they showed on Boxnation on the Bute-Magee undercard?

    Yeah that's him, He's 27 i thought he was younger but he's vicious he'll excite the crowd up in Nottingham if he fights.
     
  15. The press conference for this will be golden.

    Froch will be laying into Bute big time :yep
