    I'm sure they'll figure something out.

    Maybe if Froch - Groves agree to be on the undercard Khan will headline but only if he gets to keep 90% of the PPV because he is the most popular fighter in the world and would obviously be the main reason people tuned in.

    Plus he would bring in all that huge TV money from the Middle East and Pakistan. LMAO!
    If Froch gets 4-5 million, Brook and Groves get a million+ each and Khan walks wth 3 million, where are these purses going to come from if it's done under the same PPV show?

    It simply doesn't make sense.

          They're going to need to stack the undercard and offer heavily discounted upper tier seats (which are pointless...) to get anywhere near capacity.


          The Millennium Stadium would have been a better bet, because of the retractable roof. The Emirates wouldn't have been a bad call, either. It has better acoustics (more atmosphere) and is achievable with regard to numbers.
          who is that actress in your video clip lol

            It would be awesome to see a fight like this in the States. I know they're both from overseas. Just sayin.. Can't wait to see it though!

              It certainly wouldn't surprise me if it sold out by May.

              In fact, I expect it to once Groves and Froch has given it a little verbal on Ringside and on Skysports.

                It's a big stadium. But if Froch and Groves crank up their hate for eachother again in the build up..i think they could well sell out.

                I've been Wembley several times to watch Cup Finals ect ; I was sat up in the gods one of those times, it wasn't to bad a view really for the footy...not sure how it would be for a boxing match though.

                It's going to be a very big event for sure.
