    I can't make it, wish Lee and his team all the best though.
    His fights usually sell out no bother at the ball room. He even pulled a few thousand for the fight at the exhibition centre.

    I think if he did fight at Pittordrie tickets would have to be lower priced but I really think he could sell alot if it was marketed properly.

    I personally think a fight between two of scotlands best lightweights would fairly pull a decent crowd, either pittodrie or the exhibition centre. I`m sure whether its limmond, McArthur or Arthur, then they would take a crowd up with them too. On St Andrews day? Is it just me or can someone tell me why for example you see BBC sport advertising the likes of Limmonds WBU fight and McArthurs last fight but fights in Aberdeen get very little national coverage! Its a commonwealth fight for christ sake!
    Anyway all the best Lee, keep the heeed and blow him away.

    On that note imo I reckon McCallister is one of the most under exposed fighters at that level (british/commonwealth), certainly here south of the border, which is a shame, I like McCallister's style, what do you reckon?

    Anyways hopefully he can win that commonwealth and that will get him more exposure, get on TV, some good fights out there. Him Vs Limond would be good, can imagine it'd be high profile up there in Scotland.

    Absolutely. I know very little of Sowah, but providing he gets through it okay tonight I hope this puts him in the public light a bit more.

    Nah mate. Thinking of going to see Burns if you can buy tickets on door.

    Aberdeen too much of a drive.

    Be good to get a review though from anyone who is going.

    :good

    Willy is a good wee fighter, but Mcallister aint a mug, I think he would take the fight in a minute. Sorry Billy but Willy aint a world beater and he is getting a little near his sell by date.

    I hope Mcallister does win this fight purely so Mcarthur v Mcallister can be made and Mcarthur can take the title. Personally i hate Mcallister, he is overated and a mouthy C***. Iam all up for fighters being cocky if they can back it up (Floyd, Joe, Ali) but Mcallister has been saying how gr8 he is for ages and so far he has not proved it.

    I think McAllister is a decent domestic fighter, and despite little exposure, has solid backing here in Aberdeen from the locals. Hope he gets the Commonwealth title tonight and we see some all-Scottish showdowns in the near future...

    I think Limond - McAllister could pulla decent enough crowd at the AECC but not at Pittodrie. The place would likely end up a litttle empty looking, wheres as the exhibition centre could be packed full.
