Official: Bradley-Alexander on Sky

I mean Detroit in January. Who the **** wants to go there and freeze their nuts off?
The original choice of neutral venue of New Orleans was much better. At least there is stuff to do there outwith the fight and your nackers can remain in place.

 

According to Wiki, Pontiac has a population of 66,000. Yes, there's a 80,000 seater stadium in a town with a population of 66,000.

 

I occasionally get Shaw and Goosen mixed up times as their BS is so similar. At least Don King looks like he has his tongue in cheek and knows he is spouting crap.

On Shaw, he has a bad mutha in Angulo. I really hope he moves to Golden Boy where he can get his profile raised. There are rumors that he just might :good

 

Shaw is just a terrible promoter but he takes risks with his fighters which I respect. Lou DiBella was decent a few years ago but seems to be getting lazt and is following the same business plan as Shaw nowadays.

To be fair to Goosen he does some terrible moves like Williams-Cintron in Carson, California but he has done a decent job with Arreola and Andre Ward recently. I rate Main Events they have done an awesome job with Adamek who IMHO is the best promoted fighter of the last 4/5 years and they are doing a decent job with Zab Judah, I really hope they get more fighters.

 

Great news. Shame the atmosphere will be ****.

339 Tickets sold with about 2 weeks to go is an absolute freakin' disgrace. I mean seriously, a fight of this magnitude selling 339 atsch.

Not even a thousand! Damn, they might aswell find a Garden to do this in.

 

What American fighters have been big draws and when i say big draws i mean 15k +?

 

Goosen and DiBella just gave us William-Martinez twice :yep

 

And then they come up with all these reasons Boxing is dying maybe they should stop being so short sighted. Sure the likes of Bob Arum and Frank Warren have done damage to the Sport but when they are gone Boxing will be worse for it because no other promoter from the US or the UK has has shown that they can build a fighter and progress him correctly and build him into an attraction.

 

Oh yeah don't get me wrong these guys takes risk and put on good fights but they do not do a great promotion and they don't build fighters. That fight did something like 5,000 with god knows how many freebies given out. I love Lou he seems like a great guy but he hasn't built an attraction in a while and a lot of his fighters are pretty inactive and sell poorly.

 

Bradleys going to win this fight by stoppage and when he does all this amir khan bull**** will be put to bed

 

Andre Ward got 11,000 for the Kessler fight and 7,000 for Green. Arreola is a decent sell in California but not quite double figures. Devon Alexander got something like 10,000 for the Kotelnik fight, But other then those three I cannot think of an American that has gotten more then 5,000 paid attendance for a fight.
