    ..... and if so where?


    20,000 sold out in ten minutes

    Kell is from Sheffield. Their football stadium holds roughly 33,000

    You guys reckon Hearns should shoot for that?

    Eddie Hearn already said they tried to get Wembley but it was unavailable, otherwise 90,000 tickets would've got sold in 10 mins

    Yeah, if it moved to Sheffield, half the people who bought tickets from London, wouldn't go.

    They'd have to start the allocation all over

    Jimmy wtf Kell is a very big name in the UK...

    GGG Brook can easily sellout sheffield, but the reason why it's in the 02 is because all the others are booked up. Not sure about sheffield though!

    If its available, thats a good shout

    Think Sheffield's ground is the best though. Ive no doubt GGG couldnt bring 30,000. 40,000 im not so sure about

    Also a lot fairer for Northern boxing fans. Living in Scotland, it would be so much easier for me and my Northerner brothers to get to Sheffield than traverse the entire length of the UK

    They have obviously tarted the place up since the last time I was there then.They could hold it in one of the big London football stadiums that would work.Their would be plenty of room for T wippits and flat claps and black pudding of brook s fans .

    Actually a smart move by Hearn, particularly if he can parlay this fight with a bigger one down the line.

    By selling out the smaller, but more popular venue, it leaves many fans in the UK more willing to buy the PPV.

    With that said, this will actually increase the PPV power of this fight, and at the same time, both the attendance and the PPV power of the next fighter he feeds to GGG.

    If Canelo doesnt fight GGG next spring, we could see Eubank Jr v GGG at Wembley on Sky, especially if Eubank Jr can get a fight with Jacobs.

    On the other hand, Brook, in defeat, could come back against Khan, unify with Garcia or Thurman/Avanesyan, or set him up to fight one of the bosses at 154.

    Plenty of big fights out there for his stable simply by making this fight and strategically making it a financial success.

    How does Garcia or Thurman/Avanesyan turn down a 50/50 PPV knowing it might be worth $5-6 million. :think

    Small venue will likely boost ppv sales...im not sure if matchroom get a bigger cut of the ppv revenue than the ticket sales
