    If they fill the stadium that does show that boxing does not need mainstream TV. I would be surprised it will fill the stadium that large.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    Wembley confirmed.

    80,000 punters seems a bit of a stretch. If they pull it off it'll look amazing what with Sky's cameras, razzmatazz and whatnot. 57,000 for Hatton-Lazcano is the post war record. They'll smash that.

    You can't erect a huge canopy to cover pitch seats because it would block the stands. If it rains you're getting wet.

    Not a fan of stadium fights, loses something for me as opposed to an arena or smaller venue fight.

    Defo one to watch on TV and make a night of it - though I hoipe Froch does him early and shuts him up.

    Industrial strength cling film is the way and see through

    Needs a cracking undercard and I think Hearns gonna use the whole stable here.

    Joshuas nailed on to fight and will bring the punters and theres loads of talent he can showcase imo.

    This is live on HBO too so Joshua needs a decent opponent and its a perfect spectacle for Matchroom to flex their muscles and showcase to the entire planet.

    Just spoke to my bruv and he's coming over for this.

    I think this can sell out easily and what a fucking night this will be.

    This is on my doorstep too so double happy and gonna be shitloads of my mates going too

    Already buzzing about this and its just what the UK scene needs.

    Respect to Eddie Hearn for going for Wembley.

    Cant wait.

    HBO have fuck all to do with a SKY PPV in front of 80,000 British punters. It is primetime for us (10pm).

    I wouldn't expect a great undercard. Casual fans, who this is aimed at, don't give a fuck about undercards. The tickets are gonna fly before a full undercard is even announced.

    Im thinking of covered seats so im safe in the knowledge im not gonna get lashed on with rain if it pisses it down and nearer bars and khazis plus big screens these days are huge.

    The atmosphere is gonna be amazing, loads of Chelsea fans going and Londoners in General plus half of Nottinghams gonna be there

    Groves and Froch could fill Wembley on their own but Hearn surely aint gonna serve up a pony undercard with fight fans around the world watching.

    This is a mega mega fight and what better way and stage to showcase your fighters.

    I just hope timing wise some real 50-50 matchups can be made.

    Khan v Brook would have been perfect as the 2nd fight.

    Would love to see Audley get a fight seeing as he's a local lad.
