    Anyone checked out the prices? Cheapest ticket is £50. ****ing ridicilous. Great card but that price is offensive.

    It is a decent domestic card and one that if it was local to me I would be happy to go to but for £50 I would want at least a world title fight or two.

    And at those prices it aint a good card :p. If munroe was fighting Dunne it would be alittle more acceptable.

    Cheapest tickets are €50 or £44.33

    When you consider the quality of the card:
    Rendall Munroe v Fabrizio Trotta-European S.Bantamweight title
    Craig Watson v Adnan Amar-Commonwealth Welterweight title
    Jason Booth v Sean Hughes-Commonwealth Bantamweight title
    Jamie Moore v ?
    Martin Power v Gary Davies
    Gary O'Sullivan v ?
    Darren Sutherland's debut(v Merdjitin Iuseinov)

    This is actually very cheap for a card in Ireland, the land of you get ripped off for everything.

    Any of you in the UK who are familiar with going into clothes shops and seeing prices quoted in both Sterling and Euro may not notice that the Sterling prices are normally about 15% cheaper

    Considering the Helix isn't a very big venue a okay view should be assured and for €50 in modern Ireland for that quality a card it's more than a bargain.

    €50 is **** all to be honest. The prices for most events over here are unreal.
    I'm only going to see Sutherland (and tell Maloney I think he's a **** if I happen to see him) I might watch Jamie Moore if I don't have to wait around half the night to see him. The Watson and Booth fights don't interest me even slightly.

    I'll go home and watch Munroe on the box. It's a card that belongs in the UK to be honest. I'm sure fight fans there would be far more appreciative of 2 commonwealth title fights and a ebu title bout. Lets be honest most of the Irish people going only really want to see Sutherland.

    I'd say Maloney is disappointed Sutherland has said he isn't interested in fighting for the british title and doesn't consider himself even slightly british. it would be in Maloney's interest if Sutherland said he's a brit (time in Sheffield etc..) then he could just put the cards on in britain.

    Question for the brit lads here. Would you have an interest in going to see Sutherland if he campaigned in britain instead of Ireland. He is an exciting prospect and should prove good entertainment value. Would the fact he's Irish and not british put people off getting onboard in supporting him and getting some sort of bandwagon going?

    Maloney would love Sutherland to take the UK route and build up a future Degale fight (although I think Sutherland will end up as a LH and Degale as a middle)by the way what is up with Sutherlands accent
    he sounds more american than Irish I am English but have lived here for 16 years and sound more Irish than he does.

    His da is from St Vincents and the Grenadines or somewhere similarly tropical. Hence the mangled accent. I think he said he will fight for a commonwealth title possibly further down the line as he qualifies via the family connection

    That expains that I saw him on Bunceys show and could not believe the accent.
