    18,000 tickets sold in a weekend, with no opponent and no undercard named. Unreal.

    Goes to show he still has the pulling power.

    Ricky and Ray have not spoke for close to 2 years, and the next time they do Ray ends up taking a swipe at him !
    When Ray was looking after Ricky's finances, it's alleged he was creaming money off the top and Ricky didn't know, hence why they have not spoke for so long.

    It is a sad fact about boxing that by the time the boxer is aware of how to maximise his money and status away from the promoter/manager/trainer he is at the end of his career and near retirement. This comeback seems a desperate attempt to salvage some more money for himself and his promotion.

    Does Froch get this kind of pull over there? I really hope he does as he is truly a great fighter.

    He gets about a 1/5 of that kind of pull.

    Thoughts on the Hatton comeback. I'm glad to see him back, but fear it may end badly if he fights anybody good.

    Froch is barely known to the casual fan in the UK! But he's garnering more & more recognition as he goes....let's be honest though, most UK fighters only get a fifth of the pull hatton has! He's a phenom in british boxing...

    Calzaghe only came to prominence post lacy...

    Khan, for some reason the media were all over this kid while Burns and Froch have done it the hard way!

    Hatton is just in a different league!

    Khan had the mainstream coverage from Olympics and the start of his career with ITV so is very big. Tyson Fury may have bigger support than he really should.
