Carl Froch and George Groves rematch is heading for Wembley Stadium

100% im there!

Khan-Brook is exactly what you don't get on these bills. That fight is a massive headliner on it's own. You don't waste a massive money spinner on something that is already sold.

It's nothing new that HBO are showing this fight, they had Froch-Kessler II last year and have broadcast loads of others. This fight means NOTHING in America.

Calzaghe-Kessler, the biggest supermiddle fight ever, 50,000 punters, got the lowest ever viewing figures for a live HBO broadcast. American's buy American fights like the British buy British ones.

I am hopefully going to be there. My mate said he would buy us tickets when I spoke to him before. So fingers crossed he keeps to his word.

Fantastic event. Envious that you Red Coat bastards get to attend it. I'll be watching from the other side of the pond.

Tickets on sale at midday Mon from £30

I've read that the first 60,000 tickets are going on sale next Monday, dunno why they holding 20,000 back that's quite alot

They'll definitely have Joshua on the undercard as he's the biggest coming thing at Matchroom by far. Probably for the British title. It won't hurt that he'll get shown on American TV too. At least US TV executives will see him.

Its a combination of seeing how fast those initial 60k tickets sell and speaking to Transport for London as there might be a curfew but the main event is scheduled for around 10pm.

Just watched Eddie Hearn on sky sports news saying it ;)

Heard Carl Froch on radio 5 live and he seemed very eloquent and said he basically under estimated Groves mentally and will not make the same mistake again.

Well at least there not corporate like it is at wembly for the footy n the boxing fans get a chance to get there , jus hope I get tickets on Monday...... I bet there won't nowhere near £30

It's 90,000 for football, so with seats on the pitch too what will it be? They might close the top tier, but will have pitch seats, so the actual capacity is hard to know.

What number do you think will buy tickets in the end? I'd love them to fill it properly, but I think more like 50 odd thousand. I'd be pleasantly surprised if they topped 60,000.

I'm pretty certain HBO never even show the undercard from an overseas live broadcast. They certainly didn't last year with Froch-Kessler 2 or Wlad-Povetkin. Remember it's an afternoon live slot for them not primetime. The viewing figures are always rubbish and get beaten by the repeat.

Possibly two "world" title fights, a big domestic and Joshua. Be good if he pulls that off. Hmmm...
