I'm going and I'll be cheering the northerner.

Who else is going, no matter where the fight is held?

He's from the midlands .... if it's in london i'l be going mate.

I`ll be going where ever it ends up,but London is best for me coming from the south west.

what about the Bluewater in Kent? I see various casuals on facebook going on about going now after that controversial stoppage where Groves was exhausted and bent double being punched about the head. They never mentioned it first time round. I'd have loved to have attended the first, but some cant told me they sold out in 11 minutes, so I though screw that for a way to treat people.

If it's in London and I can get tickets, I'll definitely be going. If it's in Manc, still a possibility.

Bit negative that mate.

I will be going. The first fight was cracking.Two world class fighters going at it. I just re-watched it and it was a fierce battle and I can't see it being any less than that second time round.

Went to the first one, arranged a leave swap so I'm off it's confirmed end of May then me and a few more will be going to cheer on the ginger kid

I never had any trouble going to see Barrera, or Froch (at his local arena) or Hatton, or Hunter in Hartlepool, various others. I really wanted to go to the first fight, I was just caught out by the date the tickets went on sale. Haye Fury was always a lot of nonsense, Froch Groves was the one I'd have forked out on trains and hotel for. So when the promoter says it "sold out" in 11 minutes, I consider that like being told to eff off frankly.
People have said on here after that that was incorrect, but when I heard it I never bothered going any further with it. It's like being told your money's good enough one day, but you're not welcome the next. Screw that guy.

If it's in Manchester and I'm in country and I can skank my way in I'm going.

Spoken like a true boxing fan.

If it's at Arsenal ground, I'm sorely tempted.

Any word on the Location. Easy to get to London or Manchester via Glasgow, Nottingham a bit of a nightmare.

I think you're being a bit unfair. The way ticketing is done now will inevitably rub some people up the wrong way. I'm not saying I'm against the method, it's definitely a safer bet for the promoter, but I have learnt to appreciate the gripes that those like n1ebf have with it.

what does that even mean?? clearly I've just said I've been to plenty of matches but when someone says these tickets when on sale and after 11 minutes they were gone, so forget it. What does "spoken like a true boxing fan " even mean?? Ok, yeah, I'm not a "true boxing fan". That statement above about 11 minutes is a great big insult to "true boxing fans" the length and breadth of the country, I'd have thought.

1. Person logs on to the site when the tickets go on sale.
2. Person puts tickets in his basket.
3. Person doesn't buy the tickets.
4. Tickets are off sale for hours.

That's one of the reasons the tickets go on sale, off sale and then back on sale. It's not some giant conspiracy, it's just something called the internet.

I never said it was a conspiracy but your explanation of how the business works is far from complete.

I didn't say it was complete. Are you gonna argue or buy a ticket to the fight?

Refer to my earlier post: "If it's in Manchester and I'm in country and I can skank my way in I'm going."
