    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...

    You might be surprised by how many tickets are actually sold at fights:

    Darchinyan vs Agbeko - 11,772 attended, 757 paid.
    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
