    get one or 2 a year, hardly a rip off.
    Ticket prices like everything depend on demand. Porter aint got a huge following and I cant see many Brits travelling for Brook hence cheap tickets. Bellew is popular in Liverpool and with a few other local
    fighters demand is high so he can
    charge more. Similar to Frampton in Belfast. High demand for tickets equals higher prices. If you feel it is a rip off dont go. I think paying 200 quid for decent seats for fights I want to see is good value[/QUOTE

    ]


    Each to their own. My point is that you can see 3 world title fights for peanuts or a load of domestic dust
    ups for double or triple the price.
    Don't get me wrong, if it ain't PPV, I'll be watching it . I'm sure it'll be fun,But what happens is that because it gets hyped up so much, Joe public actually believe that one of them will be worthy of a World

    title shot without really earning it.
    So would you rather watch Liverpool vs Man Utd for £20 or Bury vs Accrington Stanley for £50?





    Would you rather watch Wlad v









    Povetkin for 50£ or Cleveerly v Bellew for 75£?
    To be fair, if the ref hadn't spoilt it, Wlad vs Povetkin. I still think Wlad would've won, but It would've been
    more competitive.

    I mean, when Bellew and Cleverley fought the first time , was it that memorable? Sure the pre- fight will be fun, but....


























    nar, if the ref had done his job wlad would have been dq'd




    that's an opinion, but is about as much as a fact
    as an opinion can be



    "Froch - Groves II tickets at Wembley started at £30.
    So not really too bad a deal


    compared to $25 for Brook - Porter hey?


    Bascially you are talking rubbish.
    Most tickets for fights in Britain start
    around the £25-£30 mark."

    Firstly, regarding Wlad vs Povetkin, of course it's an opinion. I was asked what I would prefer and I GAVE MY OPINION! if you don't
    agree fine, it's a free country, no
    stress.
    The point about it being that you are watching the undisputed World no.1 *(Wlad) against arguably the World no.2. I did put Arguably just in case you get into a hissy fit! in the other
    fight , you've got at best , the World
    no.2 (who never, ever has been or
    ever will be World no.1) against the World no. 5, 6 or 7. Just a bit of perspective really.
    Secondly, Did you go to Wembley? if so , What do you reckon you could see for £30. my guess would be that
    those tickets were by the Hot Dog
    Stand as you come up Wembley Way!!!!!!
    Whereas I'm pretty sure that you will get a better view and don't forget 3 world title fights on the same bill for just over half the price. If you can't
    understand the reasoning here and
    still think I'm talking rubbish, then I pity you.
    I fully understand that the majority of people that went to Wembley aren't really boxing fans and went more because of the hype and occasion
    and that's fine. Boxing needs them
    and their money.
    if People are happy to pay more over here for like for like less quality , no problem. but at the same time it's important to not let the hype
    cloud judgement on a fighters
    standing in the game because of
    that.
    And that is why the vast majority of fighters from these shores that go to the States for World title fights lose and we shouldn't be surprised at that.


    It's not just this sport that this relates to, in Britain it's most sports, and that is why the rest of the World see Brits as extremely arrogant!!!
    I'm sure you (and many other
    people) won't agree, and that's why it will never change.


    I assume that's not aimed at me because not Im sure any of it related to anything I have said so



    far
    Thank you, you have proved my final point perfectly! have a good
    one.


    ahh the old "you say something daft, I ask you what youre on about, and you say - ahh you must be stupid
    coz you don't know what im on about so I must be right" trick eh?



    got me there
    Actually , No. More like the old "I
    say something, you ask what I'm on
    about, I explain and you still don't get it trick."
    see, now I've got you again!





    Ha I think you've just got yourself in a muddle, im the good looking one and



    @ryanman is the other fella


    Nah mate, I think it's you who got muddled. Didn't you think I was from the States? No I haven't got you mixed up, one of you is ok, and one
    of you is a dumbass! As they say in America, go figure.


    alright alright cool it






    what are you so upset about?
    Ha. I'm not upset. It was an attempt at humour. That's why input a smiley face on the end.
    I thought you would come back with "obviously I'm the OK one!" Sorry if I
    upset you. Perhaps we should call it a truce before it gets out of hand.
