Haye-Ruiz M.E.N Arena Sky Box Office

North gets all the good fights these days... :-(

O2 is a 15min drive from me.

 

Sod it, I was looking forward to going to the O2 and, in my current financial situation, can barely justify a trip to Manchester to see a fight where I'm 99% certain of the outcome. (A big David Haye win.)

Changing the subject, slightly, the transformation of David Haye over the last few years has been amazing. When he fought Carl Thompson at Wembely Arena the place was 2/3 empty. He then ended back up at places like Brentford lesiure centre and even when he won the EBU title it was at Brentwood Lesiure centre. Now he can choose the venues he wants and they will sell out. I even believe that, despite what happened last year, a fight between Haye and either Klitschko brother would now sell out Stamford Bridge.

 

Bugger!

 

Golden Boy would make a few bob with that card and more. Khan v Maidan would make a lot of sense as the chief support or co-headliner.

 

I fancy Craig Mcewan to be on the bill now.

 

Might go to this now, wouldn't have gone if it were at the o2, Manchester's only an hour and half away and I like it up there, if the undercards decent i'll go

 

MEN great venue - hmm if the pennies will stretch im sorely tempted

 

Did you miss the Monte Barrett fight?? Where it was over half empty even though tickets were buy one get one free?

 

But if that fight was now it would sell out in my opinion.

 

I maybe a biased Northerner but I think the MEN is much better venue for boxing than the O2.

 

Gaz, when full there is no better venue in the UK :good

 

Other than the Echo Arena...

 

I have been to MEN and the O2, for boxing MEN is a better venue for me, the Echo is like to go sometime.

 

Echo's alright but it's too small, and there facilities around the arena are pretty **** considering that it's a brand new arena

 

Why Manchester?

Is John Ruiz big there or something?
