Here, here. That's an incredible number for these boxing times.

I would say there will be 7000 Irish fans between McCloskey, Murray, Kavanagh and Manc Irish,

The tickets weren't released for around ten days to McCloskey. I'm one of those who paniced and I bought my tickets off ticketmaster .

They werent.They had a good sized noisy following.I would bet neither shifted 1500 tickets personally for any one fight.

and what makes you think they didn't

The venues they fought in most of thier careers.Also,there is no way the biggest ticket seller in the country would have to travel to a leisure centre in Carlisle for a bout.You are talking about a time when the likes of Hamed were about,mate.
