    Who's the last fighter outside Hatton to pack 30,000? When has Froch done a third of that? And what are he ticket prices? How is the gate divided up? Who pays for Wards living expenses over there? How much does HBO have to pay to get the broadcasting rights ect ect

    Please show me Froch massive attendance that doesnt exist lol

    Not what you said. Difference between fighting in front of drunk soccer hooligans paying a penny at the gate and paying hundreds for nose bleed

    Cotto fought infront of 20,000 plus in New York. Staples sells out massively in Cali 20,000 plus. Aint just Las Vegas. They don't charge peanuts though lol

    HBO would likely prefer it in Oakland as they wouldn't have to pay those huge expenses to take an entire production team & equipment to Denmark...and of course the time differences mean it would be on in the afternoon on a Saturday when likely no one would be watching.

    what is soccer? they're hooligans because they make atmosphere? why are these football hooligans at boxing, cricket, even darts? or was the whole 'soccer hooligans' thing some made up bull**** americans created because of their inferior-fans complex? we make atmosphere at all sports, we dont like sports in church halls, its boring, like the **** american sports fans. How many did Dirrell and Lacy take over to the UK? 15 between them? worlds shittest fans.

    even our cricket fans are better than your fans :rofl

    Ticket prices for the recent Froch v unknown Ameribum fight started at £40 and went up to £300. That's between 60 and 500 of your weak American dollars.

    He also sold out the Nottingham arena which holds about 10,000.

    The Ward-Dawson megafight tickets started at

    To be fair to Ward, his fight with Dawson directly conflicted with the Oakland A's(a Major League Baseball team based in Oakland) were playing at the same time ,when they were in the middle of the playoff hunt. There were 23K people watching that just across the parking lot. The San Francisco Giants(another MLB team) who play just across the bridge had 43K people on the same night.

    The Bay Area has a huge fan base. Ward just can't directly compete with these teams who are establishments. He needs Oakland to be his town for a night to draw 10-15K+ people.

    Because most Hatton fans didnt give a **** about boxing. They were soccer fans. I remember when Mayweather kicked his ass most his fans were saying how Mayweather had to fight Calzaghe next to truly prove himself. :rofl

    Shittiest fans? Why we had the best World Cup attendance ever and bought the most tickets to South Africa?

    Sorry id rather watch a fight than sing and bang on drums while the actions happening

    Go watch how quiet you got in the Dirrell fight. "They quiet champ!"

    Lol
