[Master]

bet it will be PPV.

I can't see that mate, no one know's who Kevin Mitchell is, I think Franky will be banking on a 30k plus Upton Park to pay for the purse.

Should be a good scrap and a win for Mitchell if he keeps his head. Kevin wins a boxing match, Kats wins a brawl.

[Lefty]

This will be a decent fight, I'm still not fully sold on Mitchells chin. Katsidis will test it as well as his heart.

[Kirkland Laing]

If he gets 30 000 he'll make a ton of money. If he gets 10 000 he'll make money, although probably only enough to take his wife out for dinner. I'm guessing he gets closer to 10. Can't see Mitchell going from a few thousand fans at best to thirty although it's an attractive fight and I'm sure there'll be a lot of London/southern fighters, De Gale etc., on the card.

I've always said that Kevin Mitchell would fight for the world title ever since i watched him all them years ago.It was a shame when Amir Khan stole most of his limelight but now Mitchell has a fantstic chance to take over where Hatton left off.I've always been a big fan of Mitchell right from his early pro years and i've always watched his fights when i can on t.v.He's such a down to earth lad and could well be the next Hatton in the terms of being a local lad from a council estate that done good.
People on here call Frank Warren and twat and i can understand your view sometimes but the bloke has done great here by getting the home avantage of Mitchell.

Cant wait,not doubt this will be a cracker as Mitchell is always willing to trade if needs to be.

Will it be on pay per view??

[HattonTheHammer]

if its at upton park mitchell will fill the place out

35,000 all seater plus what you can put on the pitch itself im guessing they`ll make this a good 45,000 attendance. Would be an absoloute cracker. Katsidis would be walking in to 45,000 ardent cockneys wishing him to get beat

myself, merkin, boogie and H all at ringside being as roudy and hostile as possible

[Fenster]

It definitely wont be Upton Park on May 8. The Premiership ends on the 9th.

Anyway, as Kirkland said, 2000 to 30,000 is way too big a jump. It will most likely be at the 02.

Didnt realise that, maybe it will be moved to the 15th then and be the British leg of the Khan PPV?? I do see the O2 is booked for the 8th and 15th.
