    Default How was Wembley as a boxing venue?

    Did anyone here manage to go and watch the fight live? I watched it down the pub and I couldn't be sure what the atomosphere was like but some of the pictures looked great. Reading through tweets of people who actually went they said that the views were shit and you just ended up watching it on the massive screens, which I can't say I'm suprised about.

    Piss on the venue, I have my TV and PPV.
    There a a lot of people who feel they have to be at particular events. It could be their favorite fighter, their favorite team, a historic event, or maybe a once in a life time happening. Most of these people don't care about the cost, the travel, the time, the walking, the bad seating or the drunk or drunks setting near them screaming at the top of their lungs.
    Avoiding all the hassle and the desire to see the event plus the lack of funds is the reason I don't bitch about PPV.

    The thing is a very large stadium, like Wembley used as a boxing venue is more at home as
    a football venue, were the action takes place on a large field, football stadiums are for football.

    Froch and Groves said they will never fight in a better arena again.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Not unless Wembley can be disassembled and reassembled in Vegas.
