What was officially announced as the attendance ?
There wasn't 22,000 there.
I wonder if the Manc football derby earlier in the day had an impact plus of course Christmas.
I don't think Ricky's earning as much as people think - but Warren is coining it in.
Near 17,000.

the record for the MEN, but thats only been open about 10 years..
i am sure Ali-Cooper at Wembley along with Billy Walkers fights must have got 50000+ (before everyone had three TV;s each)
Benn v Eubank got a live gate of 45000, which considering it was available on free TV live is pretty incredible (16 million watched it)

I heard Aldo Rios got 300K to fight Ricky, so he (ricky) must be on more than 200K.

Are you sure? I know Vince Phillips only got 50k for his fight with Hatton.

Southpaw,
That figure for Rios is way wide of the mark.
I think many posters would be shocked if they knew the purse levels in Hatton fights.

Well Hatton is already a millionaire, so he must be earning some wack.

Yeah for Rios to have earned anything close to 300k it would have to have been Harold Smith promoting the fight.
