    I see they have opted for the MEN arena as the O2 isn't available this night. Interesting choice although a prefer Manchester as a venue to be honest as its easier to get around after the show. Anyone planning on going? Found it a bit strange they opted for this date seeing as City/Spurs is a half 5 kick of the same evening.

    I'll be going, hopefully Eddie puts together a decent undercard.

    Think tickets go on sale September 17th

    Can guarantee Froch refused to fight in London.

    Hardly surprising, eddie has several north west fighters and ties to several fighters in the north west so he is guaranteed to sell tickets for it.

    Crowd would be too pro groves in London, he has a big following as we saw in the degale fight and his last one on carls undercard.

    I went to Hatton/Senchenko with a mate but we were sittin apart as I only bought one ticket instead of two by mistake. Nobody bothers, a noticed loads a folk there themselves. No reason not to attend especially if you stay near by. I'll be travelling down from Glasgow for this one, should be interesting.

    He had a good support in manchester when he fought kenny a, on Haye/Audley undercard, everyone was really behind him
