probably not a bad change for the english crowd to get hatton fighting sometime before 2 am for a change. Malinaggi might be hattons next opponent to, so the undercard is probably worth watching.

just wondering if any of the brits could answer, the guys on the American feed are saying they expected 55,000. Im looking at the stadium, and given the way its been seated im still not sure i believe that theres that many people there, even though its still a little early.

Ask DAZ. He'll know. And I've been there and 55,000 sounds about right.

it won't be far of that figure. it holds around 49,000 and then you have to take into consideration the seats on the pitch aswell. a bloke in the pub this afternoon bought a couple off tickets 75 quid each(face value i think).

i mean they certainly pack them in down on the pitch, but it looks kinda empty still up in the bleachers.

by the way if you are watching malinaggi's hair extensions were so bad, he had to ponytail them inbetween the first round.

what an idiot.
