Looks like brook alexander is heading to a 5000 seater in l.a

This exactly, it's daft.

 

So it'll be another arena where the paper the house and end up relying on the HBO/Showtime fee. Great.

Alexander isn't a draw outside of St Louis, Brook is a nobody on the international scene, and Matthysse can't sell out his own back garden.

 

Not if u live in america

 

Depends where in America.. for some Americans it would be perfect.. around 6PM...

 

Makes sense.

Why would you have something like this in Vegas in the middle of January where nobody would even think of going as they would be broke as fudge, especially after Christmas.

In LA, there's a lot of options for undercard fighters, too, and that's generally a place that despite what time of the year it is, will still draw people as there is boxing over there often. The venue also sounds good. Putting something like this in a stupid size area, such as the LA Sports Arena for example where it would be 4/5 of the way empty and look horrible wouldn't be good. 5K is just fine for this and they'd probably just do short of putting a capacity crowd in there.

 

Brook should feel happy he doesn't have to go to St Louis. This should be a fair fight. If Brook wins this he'll get big exposure in the States and guaranteed pay days back in the UK defending his title.

 

Whats the range on a Cessna 172 :think

 

6PM in LA for a main event?, I don't think so.....Its likely to be well past midnight on the east coast come fight time

 

Nice to see Matthysse on tv again
