    Wikipedia says 21k for the MEN for boxing. Pretty sure Hatton v Tszyu was a sell out at about that figure, and a WWE event there had just about 20000.

    Who ?:rofl

    Added to the fact that the MEN has a better seating capacity AND MSG on a fight night, its a better atmosphere and Khan is from near Manchester giving him a better crowd.

    Nope.

    He has come up short when being forced to fight inside. Against Willie Limond, and specifically Michael Gomez, he wasn't even passable as an infighter. He still looked like the teenager fresh out of the amateurs it was that bad.

    He hasn't got much variety in his offence, either. The things he does well he does very well, but other areas are non existent. For example, he jabs very well, he throws a good right hand a very occasional uppercut. He does it technically very well and with great speed. But where is his left hook? His bodywork?

    I don't think we'll ever see Khan throw them. And the reason is simple, its far less risky to keep your punches straight and back to your chin rather than throwing a hook, or moving your hands down to punch to the body. Roach and Khan are completely eliminating risk from their gameplan, for obvious reasons.

    Ticket prices and certainly concessions woud have been higher in the capital, meaning more revenue for Mr Warren.
