Interest in boxing dying out ??

[HattonTheHammer]

The UFC pack out the O2 everytime they come here.. and that's even without their major stars.

David Haye sold 3000 tickets for his last fight there.

UFC rather cleverly package their events on a monthly basis WWF style in order to sell tickets as opposed to boxing which pretty much just goes with a schedule.

Anyway im pretty sure ice hockey, horse equestrian etc have sold out at the o2 before...doesnt make them bigger than boxing does it.


All you need is 10,000 UFC nuts from a population of 60 odd million to fill out an arena!!!

I don't get what you're saying?

All 10,000 Brit UFC fans attended the same event?

David Haye is meant to be a new exciting heavyweight star, he's very well known in Britain, goes on plenty of non-boxing tv/radio shows, yet couldn't sell more than 3000 tickets for his fight.

The last UFC promotion at the 02 I had never even heard of the guys. They did like 15,000 tickets.

How come they can slaughter one of the worlds most famous/exciting boxers, in his hometown, with a bunch of nobodies?
