Haha didn't expect DeGale to get booed so much at the weigh in
Looked like it was something to do with the security, don't think Fitzpatrick was too happy about something, had a long discussion with one of the security team after the weigh in finished.danconnollyeire wrote:Entourage seem to be kicking off

I was curious about this.Viktor Vaughn wrote:You're at mercy of indexing, but I used Lexis to compate the broadsheet coverage of the two events. I've got The Guardian, Independent & Times running approx. 12 Benn-Eubank stories between Oct 1/Nov 16 1990. I've got The Guardian, Independent & Times running approx. 21 Froch-Groves stories between May 1st and yesterday. I added The Daily Star, Mirror/Sunday Mirror & Sun to my Froch-Groves 2 number crunch. Between 1 May to today there's been approx. 74 articles. It works out as The Sun (43), The Mirror (22) & The Star (9). Without duplicates it's 68. I widened it to include news wires plus regional papers and got 558 #FrochGroves2 articles published between the 1st and today c/o LexisNexis News. Moving from print to web, I ran a Froch-Groves 2 search on Google for the past 24 hours and got 256 options using the Full Coverage link.
Not sure what that proves, but the print numbers are interesting. Benn-Eubank was on a Sunday as well, back when a Sunday was a harder sell.
bee and vinegar tits were my favourite lolmickey1975 wrote: But your Granny wouldn't have bought a ticket or PPV. Neither of the fights you've mentioned were sell outs... Everyone goes on about viewing figures but in reality, we had little choice. I used to watch Kabadi and NFL on Ch4 and Cell block h, not because I loved them, there was nothing else on! All those who gob off about the "golden era" but don't watch fights are full of sh!t.
I thought this. WTF he should be cheered. Boxing fans do my nut in at times. I like Degale. As I've said in another thread, I popped into the weigh in as I had the day off and I'm a londoner, and the boos pissed me off. Also some of the things said about Froch as he stepped onto the scales... I noticed that the idiots who said them couldn't bring themselves to say it very loudly: "international superstar!" "He's a c*nt!" (repeatedly) probably for fear of of a Froch fan ripping off their head. Made me ashamed to be a 'cockney'.danconnollyeire wrote:Haha didn't expect DeGale to get booed so much at the weigh in
