Liam Smith vs. Liam Williams - April 8th 2017

[PredatorHayds]

Lads, I'm a runner up! See you there.

Same here. See you there lads

[Stuffs]

Anyone wonder if this is more than just coincidence? haha.

[Marlo Stanfield]

I'm also a runner up must have given tickets to anyone who entered the competition. Heard the sales were poor.

Not that I'm complaining come on Dully

I'm in the floor or lower tier and am actually a bit annoyed I'm not VIP!

Retweet Fight Disciples tweet on The Twitter and follow them and you can get on the guest list....

[Stuffs]

If anyone didn't win (somehow) and wants to buy my originally purchased Lower Tier tickets (£57 each on Eventim) off me I'm open to offers.

[Boxerbeetle]

I've had to say I can't go

[whiteboy]

Another winner here

Can't make it though

[broomy7s]

Giving vip tickets away, madness. Good fight this and deserved to sell well.

[Counter-puncher]

decent British title fight, will be interesting to see if either of these could progress to European level

It would sell out Cardiff ice arena.

[TheCobra]

Decent fight and overall decent card, shame it seems to not be selling if they're having to do giveaways like that.

I said at the time it was announced, it was a mistake not to hold it in Cardiff. Guess they want to hold it somewhere neutral, but Williams would definitely have sold out in Cardiff.

Just checked Manchester Arena website. Every single category of floor seat you can still buy the max allowance available. Tier 1 seats? Every block you can have eight (max allowed per person anyway) bar one block where you can get seven.

Massive shame. This is a world title fight in Manchester featuring a Manchester fighter plus an absolutely belting main event support and it has patently sold like garbage. I thought this was a new era?

[Oiky]

Come on Williams!

please use '>>>>' when you refer to this as a 'world title fight'. the winner will be another 'world champion' without a single world class win

Fair point. Flanagan hasn't beaten anyone of note and no amount of Warren going on about how massive a test Petrov is will mean Petrov actually is a massive test.

Still, you'd like to think if Warren had any promotional ability and Flanagan was better known than the local lollypop lady that this would be selling better than it appears to be.

[Stuffs]

Here's what's left. Mainly the more expensive seats.



Only a block or two have been opened upstairs, but that's not much different to Crolla. The left hand side there is/was on sale too, I had/have tickets there.

As much as I'm gonna side with Pro-Manchester and Manchester fighters, a major problem is no mid-size venue between arena and small hall, so this sort of thing will always happen.

oh, I was on about Smith - Williams, I'm confused

Yeh it's true, there isn't really anywhere with an 8-10k capacity for mid-size events. Hence why they end up doing a half arena for some boxing shows, not ideal.

Doesn't the velodrome, where terry had boxed before, hold around 4k?
I think W@rren and Co would have been better packing a smaller venue and had it bouncing rather than half fill a bigger venue and have word spread about it not being full.
Hopefully B0xNati0n can corden off and pack everyone in so it appears fuller than it is...

There was a bit of kicking off at that fight after the result/outcome. There hasn't been a fight there since from any promoter, big or small, which I don't think is co-incidence.

[TheCobra]

Velodrome ideal for Flanagan as he's from just up the road. But yeh, I can see why the Velodrome themselves might not want any part of it if there's been trouble - it's not the nicest of areas is it!

[Shanemc]

I got tickets as well flying over from Dublin. When we confirm the that we will be taking the tickets do they respond or do you just show up at the box office next Saturday and they will be there?
