who are the best tickets sellers at British/European level?

Groves can shift tickets

 

Michael Jennings used to sell around 1,000 when he fought

 

Sold out the Guild Hall for the Bradley Pryce fight and that holds 2,000.

 

John Murray used to shift a lot of tickets as well.

 

Exactly pal

 

He has a point about Gavin's career though.

On a loosely related note, how come there hasn't been a big night of boxing in Birmingham for years? The NIA and LG Arena are both excellent venues for it. Any particular reason or has it just not happened?

 

guess its not having the fighters firstly, local boys at top of there game,maybe not so much now

magnificent seven i think it was,good show here, coldwell put on a cracking show before now aswell,really enjoyed that

dont think it really matters too much if they local lads fighting,if they make good fights,people will go

 

Not to sound biased, but most of the Liverpool lads sell very well.

 

Try promoting anything in Birmingham and you'll do your money in. Brummies don't like spending money.

 

When have my criticisms been unjustified?

 

the Coldwell one at the Tower Ballroom, Carruthers V Robins main fight? was a very good small hall card that all the fights on it were great even the supposed prospect v journeymen fights seemed like 50/50 fights.

according to Frankie's twitter he's got an opponent and date just waiting on confirmation but its NOT Vassel

 

Kell Brook

 

Kell Brook only has done well with numbers recently when he's sold out the Motorpoint but on both occasions they had a pretty stacked undercard, Matthew Hatton seems to sell a lot of tickets just on the back of being a Hatton really. I doubt that too many people had to cancel their flights to Detroit once his last fight got scrapped but he'll do good numbers in Sheffield. Not sure we can really call Brook British/Euro level anyway he is supposed to be fighting for a world title next.

 

Early days but Paul Butler and Mattie ***an
Will sell out any venue in Liverpool within
18 months, when Butler won the British Title
You could'nt move the place was packed
To the rafters :good

 

10,000 at the Echo Arena??
