    Alight fella's,

    I was checking my gmail and noticed an advert for tickets to the Khan Malignaggi fight from ThomasCook Sport. It seems to be advertised quite heavily online so GBP are definately investing in their new 'Golden Boy.'

    Tickets are going for $125 / roughly £80 (i'm guessing) - does anyone think it will sell out?

    Looking at the availability image from Thomas Cook - it looks like there are a lot of available seats (by virtue of only 1 section being sold-out)....

    Also! Is anyone from the Brit ESB planning to go? A couple of nights in NYC does seem quite appealing. :)

    I was at the square for the Juanma n Mtwaga fight and it was a great night. Plenty of good irish pubs in the area for a few drinks before you go in coz once your inside you will pay a fortune. Also there is no smoking areas so once your in your in for the night. Great experience though :)

    In my eyes i see it being similar to his fight with Kotelnik, this is why im not to excited for it.

    I'm not going unfortunately. But I know a LOT of brits going. They sold out the 5000 seat capacity a few weeks ago. They added another 3000. I have a thread on it.

    :lol:

    Not going and I dont think it will sell out. I dont think that they have sold the 6000 thats being clamed, merely that MSG have allowed them to open up another section.

    Khan's gone from 22,000 (MEN) + 21,000 (NEWCASTLE) to fighting in a theatre that probably won't sell out. If been to the theatre at MSG (it's under the arena and above Penn station) and it's a pretty 'intimate' place so all seats would be pretty good to be honest.

    To be fair though when he sold out the MEN everybody i asked said "Here for Barrera", it was like a ghost town for Kotelnik :think

    If it sells out, it will be due to Malinaggi. kahn wont take a big support. But i still reckon it will be full come fight night.

    Spot on pal. Everybody who came for the Barerra fight with me all did so for Marco. I had to go to the Kotelnik one on my own because nobody wanted to, and I got a free upgrade because they had to shut the top tier off because it was so empty

    They did sell out the 5000 seat arena mate.

    I'm related to Amir's uncle (Shahid) and I know for a fact that they were. Even on sales sites it said that most sections had been labeled as 'Sold Out'.
