You'd have ended up with a very respectable upgrade even if you'd paid £40 for a cheap seat.

It wasn't a sell out then ???

Looked pretty full on the TV

they showed the Brook and Enzo fight at the end of the reply, but nothing from Kevin Mitchell

Looked pretty full on the TV

the whole top tier was curtained off

Possibly the most wank pay-per-view in recent years.

Small/Hall
Three Olympians bullying the shit out of journeymen
Khan/Kotelnik

Holy shite, that's bad. Thank God I resisted paying for it.

Never been to MEN so didn't even know there was a top tier

Must be some arena then, and look pretty impressive when full !!

Yeah, I think it was curtained off for about 5,000 to 6,000. Guess that's what they got. Khan's not exactly Hatton is he?

When it is written down like that it really does look bad. Why did they choose to insult the people who bought this PPV? I just can't get my head around it.

you knew what was going to happen when you bought the PPV and put money in skys bank account so you can't really complain.

Did Khan win save Warren tv deal?

Patriot,
Let me assure you, that was a poor turn out for a "major" event of boxing at MEN.
£40 got you a £100 upgrade.

upper tier has a capacity of 9,000! thats some chunk of the arena missing.

Complaining might make a difference and make things better in the future, even if one is not really surprised that this happened.

Will Brook and Enzo's fights be shown in full on friday or just the last round like we got this morning.

Fuckin sham

Come on 26, it's not like you to be daft.

People have shelled out £15 for a PPV event and STILL haven't seen what they wanted. OK, if they wanted to see Rich Towers and Howard Daley you might have a case but this was a British title fight, FFS, featuring one of the sport's hot properties. Or the compelling story of Enzo Macc, a lovely fella, who has obviously been destroyed by being thrown in with Haye and even admitted he might have been 'gun shy' and that he didn't know 'whether I have got it anymore'. Was really sad.

To make it worse, the fights lasted only a few rounds between them and they still couldn't fit the lot in? Cutting the shpoopy, they could have shown the whole Brook fight in ten minutes flat.

I just can't understand why they just put the ones they definitely don't want on very early doors and show the rest live from 7ish onwards.

Should have shown it live from 7. Will Warren still have a tv deal now.

Cheap seats were £50 werent they and I dont like the prospect of watching stick men boxing in the distance for 50 quid, ok you got your upgrade but that's not guaranteed is it.
