By Sean McDaniel: The abdominal injury that IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) suffered today and the subsequent pulling out of his fight with little known opponent Dereck Chisora (14-0, 9 KO’s) may have saved Wladimir from a bad attendance for his fight at the SAP-Arena, Mannheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. According to rumors circulating around, only 15,000 tickets were sold for the fight in a stadium that fits 60,000 fans.
Those are terrible numbers, needless to say. And while the injury may indeed be legit, if these numbers are true, the injury sure did help matters. That would have been a major disaster for Wladimir to fight in front of that small of a crowd. In hindsight, Wladimir may have misjudged the public’s interest in this fight, because Chisora is completely unknown outside of the UK, and Wladimir and his management may have been kidding themselves by selecting a fighter that has only fought 14 times during his young career and isn’t even popular in the UK, let alone world wide.

Only 30,000 seats were sold for manny's fights in an arena that holds over 100,000.
I bet you they go back to vegas.
Jerry Jones lost money and doesn't want them to fight there again.
That is complete garbage
THE ****ING VENUE ONLY HOLDS 15,000. Only morons read that website and take anything serious on there. Does anyone do any research. The show was a SELL OUT!
Hahaha, Mr.Blobby and the rest of the Klitschko haters get owned once again :crackhead
Did i say it was true? I didn't even comment about it and the title quite clearly says rumor.
You'd think that'd encourage you to research it before posting it...
I would also try to play down public embarrassment if i'd encountered it as many times as you, Blobbo
At least this time you're (kinda) admitting it, instead of just arguing that you're right anyway. :lol1:

even germans are getting tired of wlad beating up on bums.
I don't know if the thread should get deleted cuz of the false information or keep it going just for comedy.
how many times have german boxing fans paid to see the same exact fight over and over again lol?
I don't blame em.
Exactly, why should they get blame for buying every ticket available...
Why??????????
Well is pretty obvious is because they only sold 15,000 tickets...Don't let the fact that the stadium only holds 15,000... no don't let that get in your way.
Theres no doubt in my mind that you took more time finding this abortion of an article than I did doing a fukin wikipedia search of the stadium
Going to google news and typing Klitschko doesn't take very long.
You expect me to research how many people the stadium holds? Sorry but i thought that's what the writer would do before writing an article. I didn't spell anything i copied and pasted the title and article.

No surprise that Mr. Blobby would naturally gravitate toward hack jounalism that violates all reasonable ethical standards.
I would say this failure of a thread is par for the course, except even Diggler is giving Blobby the business so you know it is actually a truly epic failure.
Over/Under on number of emoticons on Blobby's next post in this thread? 2.5
Get your bets in.
No but you published it without doing a single bit of research. And you spelt "rumour" like a Fat Yank :lol1:

That article was written by David Rosenberg, the owner of East Side Boxing and boxing news 24.
He has a number of "pen names": David Lahr, Sean McDaniel, Chris Williams, etc.
He's the WORST Klitschko hater on the planet.
huh isn't ********boxing the biggest wlad nuthugging site ever?
