      I was present with the Post-War Record breaking 55,000 (approx) fans for Ricky Hatton's comeback in the City of Manchester Stadium in my hometown, and that was crazy...I can't begin to tell you guys how much that place was buzzing.

      So for this to sell well in advance of 60,000 in Wembley, and the fact that in terms of British boxing this fight could possibly be classed as a bigger fight than a Hatton homecoming, it's going to be a hell of an atmosphere trust me.

      Bit of perspective, the MGM has around 17,000 capacity and the MSG has around 20,000 (I think)...They may be rare but these big fights in Britain sell well and you can believe that.

        There'll be a second batch of tickets going on sale, both in the heavens and ringside. Worth checking Matchroom's website, if you're looking for ringside, top-dollar seats.

          Hearn is applying for a license for a bigger crowd according to SkyNews.

              Any seats you get now will either be very expensive or up in the heavens, and only if Hearn gets permission to increase the capacity by another 20k.

              If you want to come sample what will be one of the biggest, most intense, atmospheres this decade then do it mate!

              But dont expect to be able to see very much live action lol

                i feared this haha but the atmosphere will still be amazing im sure

                the way i see it, is unless you are truly ringside, ALL seats suck anyway. so i guess its not much of a difference whether im up in the heavens or in the middle seats. as for ring side seats hell no can i afford those so thats out of the question

                now as for those extra 20k tickets, any word on when theyll be up for sale or when hearn will get the license? and where would i get them from?
