An astonishing 18,000 tickets for Carl Froch’s World Super Middleweight title clash with British rival George Groves were sold in just 11 minutes today.

Froch defends his WBA and IBF belts live on Sky Sports Box Office at the Phones4u Arena Manchester on November 23, and there was no love lost at the pair went face-to-face at the first press conference for the fight this lunchtime.

“Every time I hear that tickets have sold so fast I have to pinch myself,” said Froch. “To fill an Arena that's not in my hometown, but still in a fantastic fighting city like Manchester, it's humbling and I'm really looking forward to coming here and being part of this massive occasion.

They sold out so quickly, because half of the tickets sold are now available to buy on another website at upto 5 x face value.

On the same website there are thousands of tickets available for Haye v Fury at ****** prices.

This is scandalous for the real boxing fans and should be stopped.

I have been watching Froch since he was a novice in half empty leisure centres and nearly didn't get tickets.

Me and my wife were both on MEN site to get tickets **** on 12h00. I didn't get any tickets but Luckily wife got 2.

Our £80.00 tickets are now selling for up to £250.00 on a ticket selling site and it pisses me off.

Makes me sick that. It's not just boxing, it's all major sporting events, concerts, etc. They will keep getting away with as long as people keep paying the inflated prices.

I know what it's like being desperate to get a ticket, but sometimes you just have to take the disappointment on the chin and not give in to the touts.
