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

Thats maddness when you look at it like that..... Promoting is a hard game but i guess certain fights promote themselfs.
^ if that's all true then wow.. and we true boxing heads watchin those fights on ..you know what.. maybe i should buy a weekend return ticket and grab a cheap ticket?
