Got the cheapest seats available for winky Wright v Shane Mosley and within 5 minutes I was sat 2 rows behind Oscar De La Hoya. standing in the scoreboard paddock at Old Trafford was a good experience watching Benn V Eubank 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I went on Ricky Hatton forum and went with a crew from there. We're all still good mates. Used to do a lot of the local shows, Robin Park on Friday nights. Became mates with 1 or 2 local lads too, Alex Matvienko, Mick Jennings, Mick Gomez 3 I still sometimes see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real warrior, I can imagine he was always one of these who lived for the fight game and would struggle without it. He stretched his career out 5 fights more than he should have done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only really watched HW as a sprog so Holmes & Bruno got me into the sport. RJJ probably the legend I'd love to have seen in his prime Hatton & J.C my favourites of all time. Been to USA watching both on a few occasions Prince Naseem Pure Box Office Also Hatton, they'll be no other Brit who can take 10k+ fans to America Never missed any of his fights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been more than that. Still got the ticket somewhere upstairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Winchester White Posted April 3, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2021 I loved the Saturday night Prince Naseem show every 3 or 4 months on ITV. The local would be packed with loads of us for/against/don't care but even those who didn't really bother with boxing said it was always a good night. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted April 3, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2021 Not so much a war but the best performance I've seen live was J.C against Lacy.

Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted April 3, 2021 Site Supporter Share Posted April 3, 2021 Hatton had around 30k in Vegas for Mayweather fight. Everything landed right though, $2 to the £, only around £500 for a week in MGM, football prices had gone through the roof too so plenty of football lads turned to boxing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
