I think it probably does, the casual fan doesn't need to know wlads fight history or whatever. They'll know this is the fight(or 1 of 2 fights) it's all been about. If marketed like the valuez/ruiz fights i think it can get very close. Didn't the manny fight in cowboys stadium get called a sell out despite half the stadium being blocked off? If worst comes to worst, just close a part of the top tier off.
i reckon they should stick it on in prenton park, tranmere rovers. 2 minutes from my house, and guaranteed clunge of the lowest order in birkenhead afterwards
Haye nearly sold out the MEN vs an unknown to casual fans and at prices a lot higher than hatton fights used to be. Haye's last 2 fights have been marketed excellently and really built him up, I'd say he is the biggest fighter in the UK right now and sells it out in a week or 2.
Tyson could only sell 18,000 at Hamden Park ! Most stadiums are **** views for Boxing especially the floor seats and it puts people off! Bruno never got more than 30,000 at Wembley ! They gave away 10,000 !
