    Have you been to fights at StubHub, The Forum or MSG? StubHub is a pure fight fans venue and the Forum crowd is excellent too. MSG Theater was a bit of a Boxing geek fest for Loma-Rigo. Sure, you don't get singing songs like in Britain but you get a great fight atmosphere if the venue suits the event.

    Example SuperFly 2 was great and one of the better caliber of fight fans and atmospheres (especially considering it's outdoors and small) had it been in Vegas it would have been flat. The problem over here is often times it's like there's no thought process in the venues to some of the fights.
    Barclays has had BY FAR the biggest and best boxing events over the last couple of years:
    Shawn Porter vs. Keith Thurman
    Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton (Mikey Garcia co-feature)
    Badou Jack vs James DeGale (Gervonta Davis co-feature)
    Danny Garcia vs. Keith Thurman
    Mikey Garcia vs. Adrien Broner
    Wilder's monster KO's of Spilka and Stiverne
    Wilder vs. Luis Ortiz
    Charlo monster KOs

    No other venue has had anywhere near that quality. Super Fly card was cool but nowhere the level of Barclays cards.

      Also, surely Manchester is a more entertaining atmosphere and venue than London? Less suits, more working class, more passionate fans and better pricing?
      Stubhub means something else in Britain and it's not a nice word to say to Boxing Fans courtesy of Matchroom Boxing and that Weasel Eddie Hearn.Manchester is full of chavs and drunks,London less to a Extent and you can get more actual Boxing Fans to the event who can name a Boxer other than Anthony Joshua
