Ryan Garner - Interim World Title fight - St Mary's 20th June

[Dman]

Thought this was worthy of a thread on the main board. 

Local Lad & big saints fan fighting for the interm world title at St Mary's next saturday. 

Plently of tickets left (hence big push from the club) and some are pretty affordable. 

Not just Ryan fighting, there are a few other local lads on the undercard. 

Probably the only time you'll get to see professional boxing at St Mary's and with the weather set fair, get out and support the lads!

Mods - might be worth updating the spelling typo on the thread name 😃

Overpriced sadly, doesnt look like more than 5k sold

Should have been a bit of a promotion party........probably a bit soon for a stadium fight really, maybe somewhere like the O2 Guildhall first may have been better (like the Steve McCarthy (RIP) fight when the other fella's mum jumped in the ring and attacked him 😁). Unfortunately also clashes with Paul Weller at Southampton Sessions that was always going to be popular and I think the IOW festival is on too.

Hopefully gets a late surge in ticket sales.

Not sure I agree its overpriced. Some of the ringside / floor seats are, yes, but you can pick up seats in the northam for £30.

Isn't there a season ticket discount code or have I imagined that?

Far too early for him to be fighting at St Mary's. Especially when you consider that we're not a huge boxing city.

OK, I don't like boxing. I don't like the idea of a sport where the aim is to injure your opponent and to inflict possible permanent brain damage. But, if I were a fan, would I want to watch it from the sort of distance likely (apart from the ringside seats) at St Mary's? Surely the whole point is to see the intricate hand and foot movements or, as a non-fan, have I completely got this wrong?

All true, plus the world cup is on, I've met Garner and he's a top bloke, doing exceptionally well at his sport , I'd love this to be a big night but demand just isn't there for live boxing and at those prices wont be many casual fans who go along. Hopefully Saints ticket offer will fill a few more seats
