    Its gonna be my first time going to manchester to see the Haye-Ruiz fight at the MEN.

    Just want to know what its like there for boxing? View from cheap seats, atmosphere, and most importantly drinks prices in there?

    Thanks in advance.

    Top tier seats are ok as long as there are screens up. The MEN is a good venue and you'll have a good night in the city center.

    When I went few years ago it was alright for Boxing. It is a load of toss for live music if you sit in the top tier though....even made Metallica sound **** live in the MEN.

    I sat in the top tier for Hatton v Tackie and I thought the view was fine. Even from there i could see that Matthew Hatton didn't deserve the draw he got in the opening fight.
