The Reason Dawson vs Tarver Didn't Sell Out IMO!

[ИATAS]

Did the first fight sell out?

If Calzaghe was fighting Tarver in Wales, how many tickets would be sold?

Probably at least 25,000, just because of Joe's popularity.

Those aren't comparable situations.

1. You're comparing an up and comer to an established chamion who has been relevant for over a decade.
2. This is America, we don't immediately support fighters because they are American. Wales doesn't have to many boxing stars and they are a small country, so of course Calzaghe is popular and can draw a lot. Las Vegas is almost 3000 miles from Connecticut. Can Joe Calzaghe sell 25,000 against Tarver 3000 miles from Wales? I think not.

I doubt it.

The fact that you compared an up and coming fighter like Dawson to an establish champion proves how biased you are. Joe has been champion for over 11 years FFS.

Rematch Johnson in Miami.

Fans know crap when the see it. TBH if i lived in Vegas i would go and watch the fight i mean $20 for a boxing fan is nothing to see a talented up n comer like Chad.

Why in Miami? The first fight was already in Florida, which is why the fans booed the decision so badly, and it's partly why people complain about the fight so much.

The rematch should be in Connecticut.

Johnson at this point is the draw imo i think its most likely to sell out there.

Tarver didnt have any speed to consistently get to Dawson in the first fight, he was way behind on everything, i expect this rematch to be even worse, this fight is a joke.

It would sell out in Connecticut. Plus Dawson already went down there. It's only fair. Johnson wants to prove it so bad, come out of your backyard and prove it. He's done it all his career, so what's the problem?

It's not like Florida is some boxing mecca anyway. Clearly they have more fighters than CT does, but in terms of venues for boxing CT is just as good.
