    Seems strange that an arena would make a deal with just one promoter, unless its a sweetener to the hearns for missing out on the olympic stadium :yep, either way this could become the new home of British boxing. it looks like a tight venue that could make for a good atmosphere and it's easily accessible :good

    I only know of one smaller arena that has an exclusive with a promoter. I would doubt that it would be the case here.

    I've a feeling it might be GBP. Trying to snap up all the Olympic talent, makes for good marketing.

    It's not a bad idea - it gives people a regular place to go, familiar facilities, etc.
