They've been popping up and going every five minutes. It's sold out. You might get one ticket now and again.

Literally no chance. We got £210.
I wont go to £210. The £67 was my limit.
Well, I've got Christmas to sort, then I'm off to Auschwitz in January, all sober, so I'm going to get smashed in Manchester. 15 wreckheads so far booked on.
It will be a great night, a pure throw back to the Eubank Sr years. Could be the fight of 2018.

In a few days there will be some for sure

If you're on 24 hours a day, you might get lucky. I've been doing this a long time. This is as sold out as any I've seen. No fighters have tickets! No fighters even know they're fighting yet!

I was on at 10am and was only a few tickets left then, all inidividual. Doesnt seem to be too many on stub hub, so if they're not selling straight to stub hub, there was a lot more demand than I was expecting. Gutted

What it needs is a scheme were you pay say £30 a year and get a priority sale the day before

Groves is far more experienced at fighting at the highest level. Added to that, Groves is a naturally bigger guy and has a wicked jab.
I think that this is a Groves points victory... But it could be controversial.

Nah, I expected it to be a sellout.
The lesson here for Promoters is that fans know a good fight when they see it regardless of how the fight is made.

I didn't expect them to go that quick I'll be honest. Was in a meeting 8-11 and thought I'd have no problem getting reasonably priced tickets. Oh well :doh:

Said Eubank Jr.: “I’ve had many big fights but this is probably the biggest in terms of profile and the tournament and the hype. But at the end of the day I always rise to the occasion. The bigger the fight the better I perform.”

“George seems to be hung up on what I’ll do. He needs to worry about himself. Thinking about me isn’t going to get him anywhere. I’m a man of my word and George, you will not see the end of the twelfth round.

“He doesn’t have the speed, his defence is poor and his stamina is average at best. The fact that he’s lacking in those things means he won’t be able to compete with me. I’m not a stepping stone. I’m Mount Everest and you’re not going to climb me.”

Can't wait for this.

Both fighters are fun to watch. It's a close one to call.

Going to go with Groves by round 8 or 9. I think he'll work the body.

Yea groves would be wise to work the body :bag:

Eubank jnr hasn't dealt with anyone like groves yet

Really hoping groves does it, he is capable of the win :box:

What the second fight? Froch was on his A game an clearly better than Groves in every department
No he wasn’t. The second fight was close until Froch closed the show
agree. bizarre comment from the nutty one. had gg up by 1.
The scorecards were 68-65 | 66-67 | 66-67 so it was close.

Aye, that was the only bit I actually laughed at. I quite enjoyed the presser and watched all of it, I normally don't do that.
