    Obviously depending on pricing schedule, if tickets are fairly priced i reckon theyd easily sell 13-15k. If its held in the arena those 8000 will definitely go quickly.
    Im definitely going, also hope they get ricky burns kevin mitchell on this yr, that'd be a proper humdinger!!!!

    Well how many were at Upton Park 15,000?

    I reckon Froch, with Hearn promoting him would make that at least. Cheaper tickets for season ticket holders, SKY hyping the **** out of it aswell.

    15k is doable.

    If Brook-Hatton can do 10,000 then surely Froch-Bute can do 20,000.

    You sure? An article in the guardian says only 14k.

    Not that it matters - think Froch would do at least that.

    They could undoubtedly sell more tickets for this fight,but the FM arena is a very good venue for boxing.Myself and a few other forum members went there for the Dirrell fight,and to be honest there isn't a bad seat in the place,add to this the reasonable prices for food and drink,plenty of car parking near the venue and a wealth of bars and restaurants and its an obvious choice of venue (except for the fact its too small).
