    Did anyone notice all the empty seats and the pitifully small crowd attendance ?

    The TV cameras couldn't hide it.
    It's a bit sad that such a fight can take place in a venue called the JOE LOUIS ARENA, in an historical boxing city Detroit, featuring a Michigan boxer, and draw such a small crowd.

    Remember the fight was postponed AND moved, there was little time to sell it in Detroit.

    Isn't Detroit full of poor people?

    If I recall, the State of Michigan is the most poverty stricken area in the US right now, but other areas are quickly closing the gap.....

    Unfortunately, sad times are ahead...
