which kicked off in Cardiff<\/a>, which gave him a sense of how busy the city can be when big events take place.<\/p>\n“We’ll probably be buying in triple the amount of barrels that we usually would,” he said.<\/p>\n
They expect to have a couple of hundred people in the venue on fight night and Jones said they intend to stay open until “at least before the fight, and probably after as well”.<\/p>\n
“It gets a bit rowdy but its all good fun,” he added.<\/p>\n
But Sarah Hill, who lives close the Principality Stadium, disagrees and says she “doesn’t see the appeal” of the fight.<\/p>\n
“Why are they doing it? I don’t really pay attention to boxing at all,” she added.<\/p>\n
Hill realises that Cardiff is no stranger to hosting big events, but said “every big event at the Principality Stadium is an inconvenience to the people that live here”.<\/p>\n
“Rock concerts, rugby games. Any kind of sporting event is just a nightmare,” she added.<\/p>\n
“The entire city shuts. So if you want to get from the train station to your house, you have to go out of your way just to get a taxi.”<\/p>\n
She said the taxis can “cost a fortune” on event days, due to surge pricing, and the late start time has also left her questioning how Cardiff’s infrastructure will cope, with the event feeling like “it’s just about money”.<\/p>\n
“The trains only run so late so it’s just about selling as much booze before and after the event,” Hill added.<\/p>\n
