It will be a tense and tactical battle, no way Groves comes out throwing bombs again, look where it got him.
Got a link at all mate to the prices? Would be much appreciated
I just skimmed Premier Inn and looked at Late rooms.com as well. I got the Premier at Greenwich last year for Froch-Kessler for £200 but I'm not keen on paying over the top for the Stadium fight.

I think that's something only you can answer. For me when I went Hatton - Lazcano the atmos was great but I couldn't see that much - so I was watching the screen most the time and kind of thought 'what's the point'.

I was at the london olympics and the view wasnt that great to be honest! To be honest the boxing itself bored the shit out of me somewhat on the day aswell.
Quick update; in an interview this afternoon with Kugan Cassius, Eddie confirmed that the middle of the lower tier are the £100 tickets. IMO the best view in the house if you can afford it.

How many seats/tickets will there be available for this part of the stadium 1-3,000ish?
I can see the touts snapping these up and then flogging them minutes after for 5x the original price

There are so many variables that will determine whether the atmosphere is great in a stadium fight of this size. If you're pretty local and don't care about the view then a £30 seat could well be worth it even just as a decent night out.

Obviously you get your casual fans who just go for the main event but me personally I want to see a stacked under card. I'm hoping some fights will be named on the under card before the tickets go on sale.
I don't want to pay £250.00 for a ticket to see the usual main event backed up with a load of meaningless fights.
Froch v Groves
Joshua v TBA
Luke Cambell v TBA
Kell Brook v TBA
Scott Quigg v TBA
I want to see a stacked card with some decent domestic scraps and at least another world title bout on the bill. I'd like to go to the fight for a full evening of entertainment not just a main event.
Judging by Hearn's interview posted yesterday on IFL TV, he's going to put on a stacked card with up to 2 world title fights on the under card. He mentioned the Froch Groves 1 card being quite poor and also mentioned that he's going to concentrate more on producing 5 50/50 fights rather than 8 one sided fights with big names. Now whether you believe this or not is up to you but I think we're in for a treat!

Just like Quigg's 'world title' fight against that South American taxi driver on the last undercard?
Horrible choice of venue, for all the reasons mentioned. Glad i went to the first fight and got decent seats, will watch this one at home and pick up a few quid when Groves sparks Froch early doors

This is what annoys me. People being negative about a card before it's even been released. I agree the first card was dull but if you read my whole post, Hearn has noted this and looks to be investing his time into providing us with 5 or 6 50/50 fights rather than 8 or 9 one-sided fights. He's never mentioned this before which is why I think we might get a really good card with maybe 1 more genuine world title fight and 3 or 4 really good domestic scraps.

To be fair though, the negativity stems from past experiences when it comes to undercards. Ir's hard to be optimistic about future cards when you're used to being served up drivel.

They haven't all been drivel, I think some people just tend to concentrate on the negatives. And as I said, I've not heard Hearn come out and admit a card was poor and then say he's going to fully concentrate on getting 50/50 fights rather than just putting the big names out. I think it will be a good card.
