I thought it was about 15,000...a lot of it was down to logistics and getting the ground ready for the fight, they only had from the Thursday, due to other events that happen at Goodison, also they have to take into consideration that the position of the stadium is in a residential area, so traffic has to be accounted for as well. The ring was positioned towards one end of the stadium which was going to be opened up, I believe that was the plan all long with the short notice given.
