Looks shocking...Does Tyson not sell in Belfast?

You can't judge attendances until 5 mins before the main event. Imagine many will have picked the bar over Eubank Jr

Undercards anywhere, on any bill in the world don't normally pull in the full crowd

Thought they were doing the usual...headliner first...

It will be packed 5 min before main fight, its improved now.

Froch-bute was empty until frampton was announced

Just had a text off someone who is there and apparently it's a poor turnout.

he done 1500 in the kings hall last year and they gave away about 3000 for free to fill it up

Apparently he come into the ring looking like Jabba the hut, hopped about on one leg for a little bit and withdrew with a injury in the 1st

O'Donnell got dropped in the first, went on to win on points. The majority of the crowd made there disagreement with the verdict heard.

Corbett went over on his ankle in the first round and all bets were off. He was 17st 6lb.

Strangely enough I read an interview in last weeks Manchester Evening News and Fury was saying that he was forced to fight in Belfast as he could sell more tickets there than he could in Manchester (which is why he has boxed in random places like Somerset).

He said that he could not understand why the people of Manchester were not getting behind him.

Maybe because he's the most dislikable people in the history of British boxing?

I take it from your user name that you are a Scouser ?

I actually quite like Fury - he has got a good personality.

On Saturday the whole dancing in the mirror bit and the "alas Smith and Jones" type sketch was pretty good.

The more I see him the more I warm to him - he is very personable and talkative etc. and comes across well IMO.

I cant bring myself to like him - comes across as a right tool in interviews and his manners etc.

He might be a decent bloke but his 'camera' persona just doesnt do it for me, those type of boxers just get me wanting them to be sparked every fight

He comes from a family full of convicted criminals and is a proven homophobe. Need I say more?

Not a scouser my friend it's a lot worse than that! I'm welsh!

Saw that fight on the night, and thought that it was a terrible decision.
