Just watched Mayweather vs Mosley highlights on fights of 2010 and saw Mariah Carey watching ringside looking really into it. Just wondered if anybody has seen any other celebs ringside on TV shows?

That shouty cook whose name I forget, the Scottish bloke, was in the first couple of rows for Calzaghe-Lacy. Liam Gallagher being a dick ringside for Hatton-Mallignagi.

Yeah Gordon Ramsay, he's a big boxing fan. I've seen him at a few shows.

Theirs a football manager whose big on boxing I think it could be Sam Allardyce. He or another manager is at a lot of shows

in the 80's big boxing show's were star studded having hollywood's biggest name's on hand, mixed in with your nba & football star's. it dont seem to have the same glamour.

although hatton would have ashley peacock & les battersyby attend

Burnside from The Bill often turns up at FTM's shows.Have also spotted Andy 'The Viking' Fordham at a couple!Phil Taylor,Russell Crowe and Gordon Ramsay were at Hatton-Tyszu and the Shameless lads get to most of the big shows in Manchester as does Kirk from Corrie!

Niall Quinn was at a show in Sunderland a year or so ago, I know a few of the Bolton players used to go to Khan's early fights.

Ha ha, I remember talking to Danny Shittu and he was telling me in a few years Khan/Calzaghe would sell out Wembley and be the best fight/rivalry since Eubank/Benn.

We could go forever. Leo DiCaprio, Mariah Carey, Mark Wahlberg, Jamie Foxx, P.Diddy, Chris Brown, Paris Hilton, Arnie, Will Smith, Magic Johnson were at Mayweather vs Mosley, not to mention any boxers in attendance.

BWFC had their Xmas do in 2009 in NY for the Khan Fight i think

Once i've seen over the years would be Andy Murray @ Khan v St Clair at the Excel arena, Rooney, Brian Robson, Peter Reid and a few other footballers at Hatton Castillo.

Sly Stallone was ringside for Hatton Malignaggi

And I will always hate Paddy Considine for being ringside for Castillo Corrales 1

Weird, I was thinking the other day that you couldn't watch a FW show in the 90s without Ramsey and Liam being ringside (facing TV cameras). Did they both get bored of boxing or fall out with FW?

Joe Cole's always lurking about at shows


Russell Crowe got introduced to the crowd and subsequently booed by 20000 Brits at Hatton Vs Tszyu..... it was highly amusing.

Yeah, that was funny. Funnier than the huge section of Aussies in the top corner going very quiet and the rest of the arena signing "you're not singing any more" in unison.

Why what was Gallaghers problem this time?

Liam and Noel used to go watch Steve Collins and Ramsay has been a Hatton fan from the very early days,he caught his eye on an undercard(Naz-Kelly?).

Possibly. I know the two of them were nearly always ringside when watching on TV.

I know Liam then moved onto Hatton [after Collins retired]?

Aye. Forgot Crowe. Also forgot a chemically influenced Robbie Fowler stumbling onto our lap once in Cardiff.

Yes,they supported Collins due to their Irish heritage.Hatton is a big Oasis fan and has appeared on stage with them.Add the Man City angle and i suppose they were always going to be linked.Only remember them at the Malignaggi fight,though.

David Beckham was the row behind me at Mayweather v Hatton. Tiger Woods was the row in front.

I was a couple of seats away from a still mighty fine looking Helen Mirren at Mayweather v ODLH.

I once sat next to Angeline Jolie's Dad at a Bruce Springsteen concert....

However, I'm not into pace or name dropping......
