    I heard only 7,000 tickets were sold. Was the place empty, or what?

    It sounded decent at the very least, and ringside looked full, but I don't think they ever gave an indication as to how many people were actually there.

    14K+ ist very decent if you look at the ticket-prices. Over 8000 ppl from GB. Calzaghe sold more tickets that Ricky Hatton for his fight against Paulie.
