    After Kotelnik got jobbed you couldn't have expected Bradley to go there :think

    Don't care how many turn up, it's a can't miss fight. War Bradley!

    I can't say I'm surprised. It might be a good fight but they aren't names, and theey haven't proven themselves as the top dogs. Look at Bradley, most consider him to be the man at 140 pounds (I think he is too) but has he really proven it? He still needs to fight Alexander, Khan, Ortiz etc to prove it. Regardless of what both these primadonnas will have you believe, they are not names, they are not superstars and hopefully this will humble them a bit.

    yep, its one for the purists but is that not what us ESB'ers are meant to be.
    i was ringside(best seats ever)for Witter-Bradley and enjoyed the fight and result, one of only a few to cheer him out of the ring.
    quality fighter but admittedly no PBF, but thats not a bad thing.

    It will not be a war, but it will be a battering. Anna Kournikova is gonna get outpunched by Bradley left, right and centre.

    Has it actually been confirmed that it's for the Ring belt?

    But regardless, it's the #1 v #3. Why would true boxing fans not want to see that occur in boxing? Just because casual fans aren't interested? There's not nearly enough fights between genuine top ten fighters let alone ones at the top end.

    I have Kotelnik at no.3 myself, with wins over Maidana and Devon. But it's a very attractive matchup nonetheless, that hasn't been rewarded geographically. Let's hope it does well for HBO, the winner, whoever it may be, deserves a push IMO, and the Khan fight could well do decent business and then give the winner even more exposure.

    Name one Gary shaw fighter who sells tickets. The guy's a tv promoter - doesn't know how to build a fighter. Even golden boy do a better job with only ten year's experience.

    Neither fighter has built a genuine fanbase outside of tv. Poor, really. But it's going to be worth watching.

    Apparently this fight has sold 2,000 Tickets according to Dan Rafael that seems like a more realistic figure then 300. Still a very **** figure though.

    The Silverdome capacity is 80000, surely the fight will be cancelled if tickets sale are that bad
