    Default Andy Lee vs BJS - Manchester 10th October

    Andy Lee has a virus so the fight has been postponed until October 10th and is now going to take place at the MEN arena in Manchester, I don't know if its been mentioned on here yet but I've just heard about it.

    Default Pissed off in a way...Lee - Saunders moved to 10th October manchester

    Andy Lee-Billy Joe Saunders Pushed Back To October 10 - Boxing News

    Pissed off because ive bought my flight and fight ticket to go Ireland and i was
    Looking forward to the experience. My gut feeling is telling me that ticket sales weren't that good because the first undercard I'd heard about was spike O'Sullivan being added today. Even that wasn't offical. Also Katie Taylor wasn't likely to box on the card either so there literally wasn't an undercard...

    Andy Lee has had a virus and wasn't fit enough so they have pulled the Bill.

    Still think I'll have a weekend in Dublin but just annoying I can't see the fight.

    On the positive side, the show has been moved to 3 days after my birthday to Manchester which is an hour away. Terry flannigan is defending his title and apparently they are building a strong card for it. So it should work out well.

    Lee doesn't have a virus. Fact is that the fight couldn't sell tickets. If it could, they'd have rearranged it for Limerick instead of adding it as an undercard fight to Terry Flanagan's first defence.

    It's a twat when that happens

    I've had it happen three times with fights - and a further twice with non-fight boxer related events (Leonard and Tyson) and lost ticket booking fee and hotel money.

    Has really put me off future boxing events I can tell you

    Thankfully has never happened for a Vegas fight - that happened to a mate of mine about 15 years ago (a De La Hoya fight I think) . Ouch

    still you'll have a good time and don't have to worry about being pissed and missing it
    Don't bully fat kids - they've got enough on their plate

    I am surprised this fight is not selling in Ireland. Move it to the UK or USA.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Hardly a surprise. Warren let slip at the second press conference they'd only sold 8000 tickets (half anything a promoter says). 33,000 takes some selling for a fight between two blokes that haven't got a bad word to say about each other. Obviously it don't help being on BoxNation (one man and a dog channel)

    How can the first ever all-pikey world title fight not be able to sell tickets in Ireland? Mystifying. Things going from bad to worse for Frank Warren.

    This is terrible promoting, absolute fucking joke!
    I'd be serious pissed off if i'd paid for flights, hotel etc over in Ireland already.
    Warren seems doomed and so does Boxnation in losing the Fury v Wlad fight people are simply not going to renew their Subscription with decent fights becoming more scarce, add to that the fact that Sky and BT Sports have just announced their new free sports channels that will be showing live boxing soon things do not look good for the future.

    Is this even gonna fill the MEN Arena (22,000) ? i seriously doubt it will do being solely marketed on Boxnation TV. (maybe the amount of Pikeys in England can help it now it's more accessible)
    I'd love to see the membership numbers of actual monthly Boxnation subscribers compared to 12 months ago, i'd bet it's dropped massively as they simply don't put on anywhere near as good fights as they did last year.
    Really don't see Boxnation surviving for too much longer which is a shame because it used to be superb value for money for live fights!

    I was about to ask if this was the first all Irish title fight in the country, amazing that it didn't sell considering no? They could have put the fight in Boston or New York and it would have been no problem.

    Billy Joe is English and Andy Lee hasn't fought in Ireland for over 5 years. Since Froch-Groves smashed Wembley all these bods think they can sell out stadiums. There's a reason Matchroom took over the game in the UK

    The problem is Lee is not well known here andhad no real beef with Saunders or any kind of personality.

    You need personalities to sell. People need to love or hate a fighter, have some kind of emotion toward them to want to pay money and see them.
