Comments Thread For: Froch-Groves: Hearn Aims To Extend Wembley To 80,000

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Promoter Eddie Hearn is looking to add another 20,000 seats to the already sold-out Wembley Stadium, as fans continue to go crazy for tickets to witness the rematch between Carl Froch and George Groves, taking place on May 31. Hearn put 60,000 tickets on sale last week, and all of them were sold within an hour. He plans to apply for an additional 20,000 seats - raising the crowd to an enormous 80,000.

Looking forward to it! Hopefully there's a half-decent undercard - Joshua, Mitchell etc.

Is this the the biggest attending crowd in a fight in UK if it does 80k people?

I remember 65k at the Calzaghe - Kessler.

Yes the record is 70k to watch Jack Doyle vs Jack Peterson. (some reports say it was as high as 90k though)

Wow, good find! I stand corrected. Just reading up on the fight now.

EDIT: Seems that Doyle also managed 90k vs. Len Harvey

And it was a **** atmosphere in there, half the millennium stadium was closed off... I hope Wembley is a much better atmosphere, I reckon/hope its gonna be much closer to the famous Benn-Eubank occasions. Cant wait!

It will be fun to watch just to see the atmosphere surrounding the fight. Can't wait.
