The venue has a capacity of 17,686. Barclays' beat out Madison Square Garden for the Naussau Coliseum contract.

Wasn't GBP supposed to put on a show at the Barclays every month and they've only done 4 so far? Honestly I believe the exclusive deal that the Forrest Ratner deal has with Golden boy is ****** because I'd never seen a venue have an exclusive deal with any other promoter besides these guys. Don't believe Richard for a second, he'll never co-promote a show with any of the NY based promoters.

GBP lets other promoters book Barclay's if they want. They just have the first choice of dates.
