Im hoping London for obvious reasons but it looks more likely to be up north or in Nottingham.

Eddie thinks he can fill 70,000 so I cant see it being in Nottingham it just makes sense to have it in London.

I have a hunch it's the Emirates although I would say that I'm an Arsenal fan.

Its not Wembley. Its already booked up.

It sounds like the Emirates or Old Trafford are in the front seat.

Groves wants Chelsea and Froch wants Forest but neither are big enough.

Ideally the Emirates, simply because of the design of the place, it would make even the crappest seats have a decent view. Old Trafford is just too big, you'd be miles away from the ring if you're up in the cheap seats - and they wouldn't fill it.

do you reckon? the lower tier is very shallow, not the best of views...

still would be a great day out with proximity to central london and good drinking in the surrounding areas

Boxing at football stadiums always looks shite to me. The views for 70% of the tickets must be shocking. I know its more about going to the "event" but for someone who actually wants to go and watch the action, well, it just seems cack.

You have a point Lillywhite. Carl wants City Ground so that's 45k tops. Fast Eddie wants a larger attendance.
I was lucky to be up close for Ricky's fight at the Etihad but wonder seriously what a lot of the attendance actually saw.
