    British fans are awesome man, selling out 80,000 seat stadium. They also sell over 1 million PPV's.

    Boxing isn't dead, it's just on the back burner in the U.S. It used to be a commercial sport, now it's just a fringe sport in the U.S.

      I was just thinking about this on Saturday. I don't think we would be able to fill an 80,000 seat arena here in the US. The only fight that would come to mind would be Floyd-Pac. I definitely envy the British fans. I really wish I was at Wembly on Saturday. I bet the atmosphere was electric. Would love to hear from the people that went. I wanna know how their experience was.

        Brilliant night out.

        I would upload my videos of the entrances to YouTube but the quality did not come out too well for some reason.

          It sounded like a 50/50 crowd. Both fighters received boos. Anyone get out of hand? Any fights within the crowd?

              Not really. There was something going off in the block next to me but I think they got kept apart. Everyone had a good look though.

              Pre fight, I think the fight was 60/40 Groves favour. Froch seemed to get shown more on the big screen.

              But, after entrances there was plenty of support for Froch whenever he let his hands go and the place erupted with the knockout. I for one went crazy

                Post fight madness is one of the best things about boxing forums. I love it.

                Nothing quite like the chaos caused by a KO in a big fight

                  This is true. Embarrassing that guys like bradley, ward, porter don't draw well.
