    That can't be right??? Surely not??

    I've not been to a big London event in a while though are tickets really starting at that amount? If not how much are the cheap seats normally.

    Mate, Haye always will be a PPV star. Any fight there is demand. I said this before but if Haye looks great against Bellew AJ vs Haye would break PPV records. Haye's appeal is far from casuals/non boxing public who love the KO and Haye in his good days delivered that to them. Its no surprise to me tickets are high

    I never knew tickets to the big events started that high. £40 is expensive enough for a cheap seat in the gods. Madness! I'd sooner go to an amateur show for 5/10 quid and get some quality action than that.

    This and the first fight were more expensive than AJ/Klitschko tickets. I think Haye has made them hike the prices up

    With the weather being so sweet and everybody in a good mood I would expect the walk ups to hoover up the remaining tickets no matter what the price.

    It’s an absolute disgrace tbh and I’m a Haye fan.

    Personally I can afford these tickets and choose not to pay such a high price but some boxing fans cannot afford them in the first place. It’s always a shame when you have hardcore fight fans who watch every card and would love to attend the show for a reasonable price. These events are just littered with casuals who can afford to splash the cash.

    dont worry, hard core fight fans arent interested in WWE so this event wont bother them.

    This is a brilliant boxing match stylistically and the first fight was a war. Even if you think the event is a money grab and the promotion has been WWE-tier, if you can’t appreciate the war in the ring last time you aren’t a true fight fan in my book.

    I went in October for a concert and worked out which seating area was just about close enough to see the fight and work out what was going on and I’ve got fantastic eyesight! And those seats were £250 each! They were still quite far away and I would’ve been comfortable but man that’s expensive!

    Good. These events need to be so that prices come down.

    What’s going on in the arena? We are being bored to tears by a rerun of Puke Campbell
