He's been loyal and Im sure that'll be rewarded...I just hope he comes through now, This is a tough fight and he knows it which is why it's such a god fight, We'll see the best of Clev come Saturday

If Brahmer does a no show this week, and you get offered the chance as his replacement. Would you take the shot??
I'd be a fool not to I think although Frank wouldn't let that happen I think, I was willing to take it in Liverpool when his last fight fell through
Forget me though, This is about Clev!! Jurgen will show up alright..

I think that has cost a fair few £££'s and so the ticket sales that have been generated by the hatred between DeGale and Groves is funding that, not to mentioned their own purses!
As much of a Clev fan as i am, even i can admit that its plain to see this would never have sold 20,000 tickets if Degale vs Groves wasn't on the bill.
Nathan is still establishing a fan base and to ask a Welshman to sell out a London venue at this early stage of his career is not going to happen.
Personally i think its a win/win situation for all concerned and i can see Clev and DeGale sharing many bills going forward if they are both successful on saturday

How many has it sold?
unsure mate but every report i seem to read that mentions the sale suggests its heading for a sell out............ I'd be very surprised if that was the case though.
They always put that. I reckon about 15,000, which would be decent, i am going anyway

Just watched the latest segment on this on ssn and they didn't even mention Clev, just DeGale v Groves. Are they worrying about Braehmer pulling a no-show?

Possibly but I think if Groves v Degale is one sided or a bit of a letdown its a great opportunity for Clev to steal the show (even if it is his show.)
You have to remember Warren has a lot invested in Degale and if he doesnt become a star then he probably stands to lose a lot of money.

Braehmer and Clev are both good fighters - I see teh fight as even.
Youth vs Experience.
