Comments Thread For: Bradley vs Alexander Heading to Detroit, Says Shaw

[WESS]

I cant wait for this fight. I got points on Devon, for this one. It's gonna be one helluva fight I tell you that much.

I'm stuck. Just when I evaluate one and pick him to win I find flaws and how the other will capitalize on it. So I don't even know. I go back and forth. I like both guys and I'm really looking forward to the fight.

They both better bring there A game, this fight will put the winner on a very nice road to future big money/name fights. Even the loser if he still impressed could still be on the same road.

Maybe winner vs JMM at 140? Assuming Pac/Mayweather fight each other or Martinez/Berto.

Either way, may the best man win. Cant wait!

Didn't you just read the reasons given in the passage? But no wonder these dudes have a hatred towards Khan lol. Imagine a foreigner coming to your country and is already headlining a Vegas card while these dudes are still trying to figure out how to sell more tickets. Whoever wins, I hope it is a clear victory and not no SD or MD. I am pretty confident this fight is going the distance and lets hope it is at least entertaining.

Well said. Tbh, I only skim read this thing with seeing Shaw, Detroit, casinos etc. Didn't really care to read the whole thing as I was the 1st to respond to a thread, about 2 weeks ago, saying no way on God's green earth does the venue on St. Louis University's campus stick (Chaigetz *spelling* Arena). I figured there would have to be a neutral site considering this is no some off the cuff weekend we're talking about, but Jan. 29th '11 sits 8 days before the Superbowl with no NFL to compete with. Mosley did excellent numbers in Staples with this niche Saturday ~2 yrs ago, so I couldn't see how an 11,000
person arena in someone's backyard would stick as the venue. Not to mention about 2 days after St. Louis was rumored to hold this fight, the national news came out with St. Louis being the #1 crime city in the USA lol!

Those are going to take some BIG curtains to make the Silverdome into a 15,000 seat venue.

This fight should have been in the Lou! I know Bradley is the champion but he doesn't have the fanbase in California like Devon has in St. Louis. Oh well, I am glad they are fighting. It should be explosive!

I'll be suprised if they sell 5,000 tickets for this.

Terrible considering how great a fight this is.

Terrible considering how great a fight this is.

This is a big fight on this forum. Martinez-Williams got 5k and Marquez-Katsidis got the same. Since this isn't going to be held in Cali or St. Louis, how many tickets can they sell?

Dirrell/Abraham did 5000 and that was a SHO fight with no hype. This is a HBO WCB event. 10,000 people will be in the house. When do tickets go on sale?

I find it strange that they decided on the Silverdome though. The only thing I can think of is it was very cheap since nothing really happens there anymore. It's gonna look strange to see 10,000 people in an arena that could hold nearly 100,000.
