    Historically is it any better? Obviously it was Dempsey Carpentier was 100k +
    But i mean since the 80s say?

    We have plenty of fighters that could do 10k+ Khan Haye Froch Mitchell did for Kats possibly even Paul Smith

    What do people think is the reason for this is? Poor promotion the size of the country? Less of a tradition in attending live sports?

    Maybe the size of each state and the fact America is nowhere near as densely populated has an effect. There are US states bigger than the entire UK. That must have an impact on trying to build a local following. "In America, they think a hundred years is old, and in Europe they think a hundred miles is far" goes the phrase.

    are you serious?
    looks like they will be giving tickets away, then what does that do for the fighters? Money wise?
    They should offer mike tyson to go there and do 1 sit up and a few press ups live on tv..would defo gain some attention and bums on the seats.
