Thought it was a shame as it was a very good card, deserved a better crowd than that.
I'd guess Mick lost a fair bit on that, in addition to loosing 2 British Champions. Well done to him for putting on a good show though.

I was there last night and it was pretty empty. That certainly wasn't helped by the fact that literally hundreds of people came for one fight. O'Donnell had quite a lot of fans who disappeared straight after his fight, then after the Tyson fight a load of Daws fans came out of nowhere.
On top of this, Wembley Arena was just far too big for what was essentially an average domestic show.

What would you estimate the attendance to be last night and tbh it was a better than average domestic show

I really wouldn't like to guess due to the number of people coming and going. But at no point was it more than half full.
When i said an average show i meant in terms of profile. Your casual fan doesn't know Craig Watson and Lenny Daws. I thought it was a superb bill, two 50/50 British title fights, an exciting heavyweight facing a potential banana skin, and some decent prospects, exactly what you want from a night's boxing.
