    I reckon Gavin could sell out Shrewsbury Town Hall on day.

    I don't mean Hatton at his peak, but when he was on the way up. Gavin sells tickets up to a certain level but he will have to be fighting for a world title before he can sell out the NIA.

    it held 1800 that night they increased the capactiy (by using bletchers etc) and I'm pretty sure there was more than that in there but as i said can't really gauge anything on that as it was a complete sell out (well in advance too) so who knows how many more would have been sold if possible (there was a long waiting list for returns etc)

    also if it looked not full on telly that may have been down to the fact a lot of people couldnt get there due to the snow that day, locally buses and trains were cancelled etc

    as i said i think a better gauge of how many tickets he could sell may come next i expect his next fight to be at either of the arenas in brum, while i dont expect him to sell out either (def not on his own) sure he'll do a fair load

    most big-ticket sellers are average fighters and the good fighters are low ticket sellers.

    I think Frankie Gavin's last fight was also on a Thursday night wasn't it?

    Fury shifts a fair amount of tickets.

    Khan I suppose sells a fair amount in the UK but in the States he isn't that big of a draw.

    Brook has started doing well in Sheffield.

    The Odyssey was half empty for the Johnson fight against Fury

    Brook does well in Sheffield there was about 5000 there at the Saldavia fight

    think frankie got something lined up and announced end of week going by his twitter

    he would sell many tickets, know it wont happen with different promoters but yafai,macklin and gavin on a bill would do very well,need more boxing here

    going by weekend action frampton looks like he can shift tickets,brook in sheffield does thousands against no marks

    think when buligioni (spelling) gets further into career he shift many aswell, just started out doing 400-500 each fight
