Looks like Bellew has got his dream shot, can any local scousers on here tell me if they think Bellew will actually fill a stadium around those parts? what will the capacity be for a stadium fight? Can imagine it will attact the Everton crowd to some extent but surely Hearn will need to get some decent fights on the undercard to make sure he fills it. Doing boxing shows at football stadiums is high Risk you need to guarantee you sell the place the out to make it financially viable. I can see him getting price on the card aswell as maybe rocky vs Paul smith, try get as many Scousers on as possible.
It holds 40000 but it's an old stadium with loads of pillars creating obstructed views so I doubt they'll put people behind them. Then obviously you'll have the pitch full. Despite how well supported all boxers from Liverpool are I think they'll struggle to sell it out without all the sky hype and a massive undercard. I can definitely see Price and Paul S boxing. A lot of people only see Bellew when he's being a tit selling the fights and think this harms his image in the city. Feel sorry for Liam Smith if he does fight at the Echo a week after this as he wont get a look in fans wise.
Eddie claimed he had Wembley booked for 9 July. Wazza claimed this wasn't true as he had it booked. Wouldn't surprise me at all if this Goodison Park event doesn't happen.
Lovely old ground. Do they still chuck toffees into the crowd before the game or has Bellend eaten them all?
Some fella ran to the echo a few years ago because the toffee lady kept ignoring his kid, was hilarious As for sales, over 25k would be good, and it'd be evertons best gate this year
If you're Optimus Dime then you seriously need to **** off with that ****. It's even more annoying than that Da Manz nonsense you were posting.
