    Well your average Frank Warren bill should still be ok to go ahead.

    Undercard is what I thought it would be - some Scots but also fights which make zero sense like Williamson vs Donnelly. An englishman v irishman... in Glasgow. I did see on twitter that kieran smith knocked it back though.

    Why did he knock it back?

    How on earth has this guy become his mandatory? That Khongsong dude beat one borderline top100 opponent in his entire career!

    Could be completely wrong but I see this being a really hard fight for Taylor. Seen a bit of khongsong and he looks pretty powerful and strong. He knocked out Kondo who took Lipinets life and death.

    Not been to boxing at the Hydro before but tickets seem really expensive for this. Including booking fee seems like it’s nearly £100 for a good seat.
    There are cheaper ones but they seem quite high up.
    Was gonna go but probably gonna give it a miss now. I got much better seats including booking fee for £92 for his last fight at the O2 and that had a much better main event and undercard.

    Got my tickets today.. ..the £10.80 PER ticket is ****ing scandalous. So my 1 phone call and 1 transaction incurred a booking fee of £32.40 for my 3 tickets?!?! Makes me feel like just watching on the TV in future

    The cheaper seats are actually decent in the hydro and you get a decent view.

    I thought they seemed steep too. I would recommend going for cheap ones because it wont sell out and you will get closer to the ring than planned!

    Well those prices have all been hiked up by 30% from the WBSS card in Glasgow last year.

    Would need the best of TBAs to be involved to fill even half the arena given Taylor is best price 1/10 odds on for his fight.

    Those odds look generous. The albeit 3 mins I've seen of Khongsong suggest he'll pose some issues.
