    Why Detroit if they had had the fight in St Louis they could of probably sold out a good venue of about 12.000 i reckon...

    For whatever reason the owner of the stadium in Detroit put up a $600k fee.

    Berto vs Quintana - 3,508 attended, 972 paid.
    Williams vs Cintron - 3,653 attended, 2,442 paid.

    if its at casino then most people in there will be on the free but i cant see the incentive to give away so many free tickets to a stadium fight? maybe a face saving measure
