Is the FW Feb 19 show too big for York Hall?

    It is a great bill well stacked with great fights. I assume the combined purses for all the fights on the bill don't come cheap. However the capacity of York Hall limits the revenue from the live gate.

    I am surprised he did not go for a bigger arena. How does the economics work?

    Is it a loss leader with Sky picking up the tab to make it pay?
