    Apparently not even close to that, It was only set up for 10,000, you can still get seats anywhere, the sales are so poor Warren has added 16 fights to the undercard.

    Neither Fury or Chisora have any fanbase (compared to big stars like Haye, Froch etc)
    If you go on eventim you get a view of the arena on the night and half the seats are being blocked off meaning only 10 000 seats have gone on general sell and having just lookd at the seating plan I'd estimate about 6000 tickets have been sold so far. Having said that Haye - Fury had sold out easily and the ppv sells in the UK were close to 1 million.

    Let's be clear- Groves's fantastic showing the first time around is what sold that fight. British fans, and followers of the belt around the world, saw this as a momentous changing of the guard. Changing from Froch to Groves...

    We kinda/srota "missed" the exchange from Eubank to Calzaghe. But we sure as hell didn't wanna miss it if Groves had magic, once again.

    This is what selling a fighter is. Froch let him into the first fight, but it was able to set up a second fight, of epic proportions, and have possibly put Groves in a situation to make heaps of cash from anyone else he fights from here on in- win, lose or draw.

    That one first fight also not only paved the way for Groves, but it also put undercard fighters like DeGale, et al, to be put on a larger national stage and international stage moreso than what they did on their own.

    Froch and Warren set that up perfectly. They sold the living fuck out of that drama post first fight and pre-second fight build up.

    That can't be done again anytime soon. I doubt it. It was one of those moments.

    80 thousand people plus in Wembley? Are you fucking kidding me?!!? Shit was bananas!!!

    They had the right of it for sure and I think it took on a life of it's own. I agree with you about Groves being a major factor in it's success.
    The fight didn't disappoint either.
