Comments Thread For: Abraham-Dirrell Lands in Detroit's Joe Louis Arena

[Tom_Tocca]

those ticket prices are great. Ringside at 125 is unheard of for a fight of this magnitude. Anyone know what the prices were for Abraham's last fight?

Up to $1,500 for the best seats in the house...

I will be ringside.

Me too. I am also going to Froch-Kessler in Denmark.


I decided to be the traveling boxing fan this year.

And tickets for this one are cheaper than the 240 I am in for for the fight in Denmark.

Who the **** are you? Detroit is dead? Detroit is one of the biggest boxing cities not only in America, but in the world... We havent had a main event this big in our city in 10 years and that was a joke of a main event in which Mike Tyson won in RD 3 over Golota but later they found out he had weed in his system so they changed it to a no contest... So dont sit here saying Detroit is dead, we havent even had a chance.. While the event might not sell out, I expect it to be pretty close. And this fight should draw alot of people since Dirrell is from Flint. BOXING FANS IN DETROIT GO SEE THIS FIGHT MARCH 27th AT JOE LOUIS ARENA!

So Detroit is one of the biggest boxing cities in the world yet haven't had a fight between 2 top contenders for 10 years?????

Lol.

Awesome that Vernon Paris and Brian Mihtar will be on this card. I saw Mihtar at The Palace a couple years ago. Vernon Paris was supposed to be the co-feature with Lanardo Tyner (Fire and Ice I think it was called), but Paris got hurt. I saw him there though mingling with fans.

Hopefully these guys will step up their opposition from the last time I saw them (Fox Sports Detroit aired a card about a month ago and Paris and Mihtar were facing guys with losing records)...

Dude, I can get a fine hotel and see a great fight there for nothing man.

And it's an hour on the plane.

I am so glad they are bringing boxing back there.

Definetely. Detroit has bred some of the finest fighters the world has ever seen. I just found the irony in the post I quoted to be of mildly contradictory...
