Its basically like a very large oepn space, and it feels like a large open space! They put temporary raised seats round the edge, and flat floor ground seats. I had a flat floor ground seat last time, for £50, and found my view was often blocked- even during all the undercard- by people walking past and hanging round the barrier that seperates the flat floor from ringside.

There were lots of security, but no stewards, so people were basically sitting anywhere, kind of annoying really because I like to sit in the seat I have paid for.

There was a series of letters in Boxing News earlier this year about it.

I'm not a fan of flat floor seating full stop, truth be told.

Raised seats for £30 are the best bet.

Does anyone know for sure if they're showing oscar vs pacman as part of the PPV? If it does I'm buying the PPV.

If oscar vs pacman isn't on the PPV. I wont be buying it.

Why don't they have any bills at the Albert Hall anymore. That would of been a good place to have the card.

Excel is the worst arena for London boxing IMO. Like chinny I saw the shit that was Williams v Harrison 1 which may have influenced my feeling. And the train platform is a ball ache after the fights have finished.

Yes, Oscar-Pac is part of the PPV.

You culd hear Audley out of breathe after 2 rounds ringside the first fight lol

Nicky Cook is out of the Dec. 6th show. Flu, apparently.

knew it, cook out

Is he definatly out?

I've just checked the other , specific thread about that event- I don't think we need a new one to be honest!

I was reading an article on him earlier today. I was looking to see what boxing is going on in Wiltshire, as my Dad has just moved there. If you know of anything, please reply in this topic or send me a PM.

I found out there's a boxing club in Trowbridge (which is where my Dad is). Are there any pro boxing events in Trowbridge?

A disappointed Cook said: "I returned to training last week but it was clear I had missed too many training sessions to catch up."

Foster must be gutted too. After his massive points win over Jason Nesbitt ( won 7, lost 76 ) and, erm, various foreign tomato cans he MUST deserve a world title shot..

Seriously though, with no disrespect to Foster, it is making a mockery of the WBO that he could be considered as a legit challenger for this "World" title.

Come to think of it, what about Enzo too? Still, THAT should be a good fight!

The De La Hoya-Pacquiao fight wouldn't have been a PPV if it wasn't for Kahn.....its nothing more than a scam.

The bill will depend on how good this lad is. He has 6 fights on the night and 7 the week after...tough first two weeks of pro-boxing for the fella

How can you knock.. this lad. He is the saviour of British Boxing, without him and the number of fights he is booked for, British boxing wouldn't be able to sell lots of tickets to "prospects" mates.

This lad is truely amazing and wonderful.

So Cook down. Banks rumoured to be out.

So in reality, it was Khan all along.

How much is he on for Fagan? £250k? £500k?

Maccarinelli versus sloth for vacant title.

Boxrec have Bendall V Smith as part of the Excell show, december 6th. However, allegedly allegedly . tv doesn't mention that fight as being part of the card. So what the deal? Is it part of the show, or not?

Also- and I'm being optomisitc here- and new on the undercard opponets for Small and Cox, as well as the Walsh brothers.

To be fair Rogan V Harrison sounds like a decent match up, and there is a possible Bendall Smith rematch. But yeah- without the two "world" title fights it lacks enough appeal to be a Pay per view.

He's already fighting Holyfield.

Terry Dunstan.

The Froch bill had pullouts too. This is bad for boixng imo, injuries do happen so why dont they have a standby fighter ready just in case.

Can they get sloth ranked in the WBO on time? Will the BBBofC block him?

Might have to just give Macca the title. How about a WBO ceremony - in the ring, on the night - to reward Enz for going beyond the call of duty, for his exceptional past work in WBO title fights? Surely that would be worth the PPV money.
