All good bennyaha! Some of the 'smaller' venues 2-4k mark look good I just dont think we have anyone right now who could fill 25k+ stadiums or make them even worth considering and that includes Parker.

Understandably I only put them there because I remember David tua vs Shane Cameron was originally supposed to be in Waikato stadium until they postpone it due to Shane camerons injury

Hey Bennyaha1 matey thanks for all this info. Good job. :TU:

I'll tell ya what would be great. If ya could delve a little bit deeper into these venue's and give a further breakdown of amenities such as carpark availability, nearby train stations, food outlets, nearby restaurants, merchandise stalls etc etc.

You've started this thread brilliantly out of the blocks but lets see if you have the stamina/cardio to finish the job and do this thread the justice it deserves. I think you can. :box:

22 year-old Benji is well & truly focused onto NZ boxing & doing well at it. Without him, we (Boxrec), most likely would've not got last Saturday's Super 8 prompt results as we did.
In time, we might allow him access to database.
