Barnsley, Gillingham, Manchester, Mayfair, Hackney, Fareham, Kilmarnock, Sheffield (2), Newport and Liverpool (as listed on boxrec).
Any body going to any? Personally I'm being greedy as I haven't had a fix of live boxing for a while and am attending the Gillingham and Fareham shows, It would be interesting to compare ticket prices.
Friday's in Gillingham is £35 quid, top of the bill Leon Senior defending his Southern Area Light heavyweight belt against Dan Woodgate and £30 for Saturdays show in Fareham, Portsmouth. Top of the bill Masters belt, Floyd Moore versus Phil Gill.
Although I know/follow two of the fighters headlining, the ticket price for tomorrow nights show does seem expensive at 35 quid.
Comparing it to New Zealand where I reside most of the year and although the show's don't have as many fights, it's much much cheaper (the standard is much higher in England though). One bill that I unfortunately won't be able to attend in Auckland on October 10th is NZ$15 (£7.50) general admission, strangely pay per view is NZ$40.
Top of the bill Afa Tatupu v.s Joseph Parker (NZ heavyweight title fight)
world rated light heavyweight Robbie Berridge, unbeaten Sam Rapira and bizarrely the comeback of American journeyman Julius Long (who Audley ko'd at Wembley years ago) as an added bonus (I couldn't make this up) Temuera Morrison (Jake the Muss, from once were warriors) is fighting in a 3x2 celebrity bout.
11 shows, this friday and saturday.
