    That card did about 1/4 the revenue of what Hatton vs Lazcano did by the way.

    I dunno but when they showed inside the venue it looked full. I know Birmingham, Manchester and London all sold out. Dublin sold out the other day and the card aint on til next year.

      The capacity for the Metro Radio Arena is 11,400. The paid attendance for that show was 8,412.

          You think if the UFC could sell 55k tickets they wouldn't?? I was just comparing numbers.

          It was never canceled, they just put a new main event.

              I'm guessing the sell out at Montreal doesn't count either.

                  Didn't it get put back to another date and all new fights got annouced?

                    Nope

                    First Shogun was hurt so they put Liddell vs Evans, then Liddell got hurt and they put Hughes vs Alves. A lot of people in the UK were pissed because they paid to see Liddell and got suck with Hughes.

                      The gist: Wilbon still thinks Dana's behind Standgate, Korny does his best "Back in my day" routine and both of them agree that the best athletes aren't boxers anymore because everyone's a *****.

                      I still love how "barbaric" is still being tossed around. These guys really didn't help your case.
