The rematch, Carl Froch - Mikkel Kessler 2 fight chat thread - Warriors Call !!!

The whole reason professional boxing exists is to make money. If he could have sold another 30000 tickets for the cheapest ticket price of £40, im really sure as a business man that Hearn purposefully turned down another £1200000! Are you mental?

Hearn would say that as the reason rather then "im not sure we would sell that many tickets"

Nope I agree that the atmosphere would be better and louder in the o2 than in an open stadium, imagine if its raining and shit, which happens in england a lot. And why wouldnt have Hearn sold out a football stadium if he really wanted to? Course he would have done, this fight is bigger than Calzaghe-Kessler IMO.

Read that, thats why he didnt put it in a football stadium.

[Master]

He must be making the money from PPV sales.

I dont need to read the shit that Hearn has said for naive people to believe, if could have generated another 12 million quid he would have. I cant believe you could be so fucking gullible!

How is 2 faded fighters who are 1 loss away from retirement bigger than the top 2 fighters in a division that are unified undefeated fighters facing each other and creating an undisputed champ!

I know you like Froch but those 2 things you just said are blind loyalty rather than basic common sense.

Well i dont understand why you think it wouldnt be a sell out if they did put in a football stadium, if they sold out the event in a day...Of course they could have sold out a massive football stadium if they wanted to. And I do think the reasons he explained are legit. It would be a better atmosphere in the o2 than a football stadium, and thats what this fight needs.

You just don't seem to understand the concept of business.

I run 2 small business and if I had the option to make a further 12 million quid, rahter than restricting what I could earn in favour of a cosy "atmosphere" I know after the millions id shelled out getting to that point id be taking the bigger option and maximise my earning potential.

I wouldn't mind betting when it did sell out fast that Hearn was majorly pissed off he didn't try for the bigger stadium. This is potentially Frochs last fight and I'm sure Harn would want the best monetary option available.

I agree with the second point. The first point is slightly out with the maths. Fenster is right about Hopkins and the PPV. Hopkins is looking for the biggest possible payday and if Froch wins and puts a good show on then Hopkins can come to Britain, play the pantomime baddie and earn a big chunk of the PPV, far more money than he'd get fighting anyone else.

The cheapest tockets for this show are £40. If Hearn had the same interest as Calzaghe v Kessler, hed be able to use a bigger arena and sell another 30,000 tickets. 40 by 30,000 is 12 million.

Hopkins is looking for the easiest big name.

I agree he'd have sold a stadium out if he could have. Your maths is still a little bit wobbly. Hopkins doesn't give a shit about having either Froch or Kessler on his resume, he just wants the biggest payday.

£1.2 million not £12 million and going back to my original point with all of the bullshit involved with the outside stadium which Hearn mentioned I think Hearn probably thinks he makes enough money anyway and it would be better inside the 02 instead of an outdoor stadium.

Ha! Twat! (Me)

Must remember to use decimal point before making massive sums... those extra tickets would have been Frochs purse out the way, once all the tax, insurance, security, rent blah blah blah.

Plenty of big fights have happened out side in terrible weather. The most notable off the top of my head, in Britain is Lewis v Bruno. Didnt stop those spectators. Once the tickets are sold, the promoter wont give 2 shits about the spectators getting cold or wet.

Maybe Hearn is doing it to creat the cliche "cauldron" but I cant see it and if he is and Froch loses he will be annoyed because of the extra tickets he could have sold.

I'm excited!
