Matchroom boxing are/we're the major shareholder of Stubhub?
I tried for most of these fights but refuse to pay 3, 4 or even 5 times the face value of a ticket when I'll end up stuck in the very highest seating area using binoculars just to see the fight.
Frank Warren has championed against these websites for a few years now (Fuelled by his spat with Hearn no doubt) and it actually got brought up in Parliament recently and looks like things are changing.
It's not just Boxing and sports events either.
Ed Sheeran is another one who wants change and doesn't want his fans ripped a new asshole just to see his gigs.
