    Pathetic.

    no-one cares about these two guys, and I can see why.

    Bradley is never going to make good money with his style, and Alexander got exposed in his last fight.

    I cant fathom how The Ring is gonna make this for the title.

    I don't find it exciting, because no matter what he does you know that there isn't going to be a ko.

    it's not edge of your seat stuff is it, watching someone bash someone, but you know all thats gonna happen is the guy is just gonna soak up punches.

    I wanna see Bradley fight someone who has a good chance of Koing or beating him, lop sided fights with no threat of a KO are not much fun imo, i never enjoyed Calzaghe-Jones very much, and that was like a bradley fight

    I don't think the problem is the actual fight or the boxers styles, its that they just arn't that marketable. Neither gives it the big 'un at press conferences or is charismatic.

    At the last presser I saw the 2 fighters at the management teams were doing the trash talking and hyping the fight because Bradley and Alexander just arn't that type of guys.

    Why is a Californian fighting a guy from St Louis in Detroit . Its seems strange that they choose a location where neither guys hometown fans can see him fight and wonder why no one turns up .
    Its the Same with Williams vs Cintron a columbian fighting a guy from South Carolina in California and then people are suprised when its an empty stadium .

    I am shocked by this. There's not many fights at the moment I would rather go to.

    This is the main problem. Whoever decided to put the fight on there needs shooting. Makes no sense at all.

    St. Louis would have been the best place I think as I keep reading that Devon Alexander draws a decent crowd there. That said I can see why Bradley would have refused fighting there considering the appalling judging in the Alexander/Kotelnik fight.

    I see this on the general yesterday. Really shocked me. I knew the stadium was a bad idea, but 350 tickets is disgraceful considering it's a unification fight!
