I was lucky to be up close for Ricky's fight at the Etihad but wonder seriously what a lot of the attendance actually saw.

Where do you think it will end up mate? You tend to be right on a lot of this stuff.

City Ground would be best for it, don't think Groves would be bothered, Carl would be delighted with it, just need to convince Fast Car. It's in the Midlands as well and a fight like this will attract support from all over the country, so that would be best for people travelling to watch the fight.

Dont be giving people idea's!

I think the emirates stadium will secure this fight ! And I think it will sell 70k tickets

As I said in another thread, if it has to be a football stadium then Priestfield is the only logical answer

Yep. They're truely missing out if they dont come here.

Emirates, Arsenal need the money for a new striker City Ground too small, Old Trafford is too expansive the Emirates has the right fit for an outdoor boxing show.

You can never predict the English weather, still the boxers will be covered, only the millennium and Wimbledon have a closing roof in the UK and it'd make no sense for 2 English boxers to fight in Wales and I don't think centre court could handle it.

I'm sure they'll love the stand/scaffolding with no roof.

what's ideal for people travelling won't come into this one tiny little bit, guaranteed.

travelling? what about anybody from next door to wherever it is that just wants to go and watch it? Didn't the first fight sell out on the internet in 11 minutes or something?? Yeah...................sure it fcking did. Corrupt. What's good for the boxing fan will be right at the very bottom.

it didn't really sell out in 11 minutes because fake bake was offering out block seating after it, smoke and mirrors mate, wherever makes the money will be the venue, Old Trafford is the biggest outside of Wembley so that's where the money is, Emirates would be better IMO

Darlington's Dophin Centre is the perfect venue.

Fury would have a canny following in Darlo, or a lot of enemies.

I am put off going to this because it's in a stadium. I have been to a few, and they are terrible with a crap atmosphere. You have to be spending a few hundred to get a decent ticket.

In the right stadium it would be great. I'm countering Columbo and Lil's offer of Priestfield with Deepdale, every stand has a roof, lots of hospitality suites and no matter where you are the view would be good.

Sorry but im gonna counter your counter with Aldershot town's recreation ground.... beat that

It's all about the money.
Carl wants Nottingham and fair play to the kid. Put it on there and put up the ticket price !
70k at an average 125 is 8.75 mill
45k at an average 160 is 7.2 mill
Matchroom want a bigger stadium for a bigger attendance.
I've said City Ground from the start but I guess it's one of four.
Nottingham Manchester Chelsea Arsenal.
One thing is for sure the last on the list to be considered will be the fans.

Millennium Stadium

I raise you Irongate, the home of Bamber Bridfe FC, still in Preston and my Nan and Grandad live 2 minutes away.




Can even watch for free from the windows of the houses next to the ground, or sit on the garage roofs.
