    They're going to need to stack the undercard and offer heavily discounted upper tier seats (which are pointless...) to get anywhere near capacity.
    Think they could co-main event Khan v Brook?

      That's the only way I think they can do it.

      Unless, somehow, they can come to some arrangement with Frank Warren and Mick Hennessy and put Fury vs. Chisora on the card. Still, IMO, that isn't a huge fight.

            Yea, there's no way they sell it out. Only Hatton could do such a thing without Manny or Floyd involved.

                They should make this at a bit smaller venue, to get a more intense atmosphere. I'm certainly not going to by tickets for Wemmmmbley. Better to watch it on PPV on your couch with the beers handy.

                  Exactly. Wembley is a horrible venue - I have been for a couple of gigs and a sporting event, and the acoustics are terrible. The design of the place is all wrong; terrible views and a soulless atmosphere.

                  They should have modelled it on the Camp Nou or, to a lesser extent, the Millennium Stadium, which were designed to retain crowd noise.

                      The noise is pretty good for Football matches, not Millenium stadium level but it isn't that bad.

                      It's a beautiful stadium though, best I've ever been to.
