    Obviously not, cause it's sold out with 60k

    if it actually was 80k it would have been the biggest live crowd since a long time.

    There's another 20k to go on sale yet if they can get additional transport laid on for after the fight.

    Capacity is 92,000 i think but obviously for boxing you have floor seats so that would be about 100k seats.

    But as stated previously i think they had to agree seating with london transport plus any seats right up top wouldnt be very good either so i think those two reasons are why its been capped to 80,000
