They should have left it in St Louis and then I could have went to it. 339 tickets only???

[Check]

If this guy is right then they must be giving a ton of tickets away. In the last 24 hours the cheap seats has sold another 4 rows(120 tickets), 55 dollar seats jumped 2 rows(60 tickets), and the 250 another row. That's nearly the amount in just 24 hours that they say have been sold in a whole month! Either this guy is full of **** or they are giving away tickets by the boat load.

This is too embarassing if you're a black american

It was more a 'sh.it, look at America broadcast.' And me and my girlfriend just said 'crap, they don't have vegetables in Detroit.'.........lol. It was very vague. I don't really know anything about it.

A lot of the news channels in Asia are hilarious they just praise their own economic growth and then cut to the British Prime Minister announcing the budget cut.

There are spots in Detroit that are very nasty and that especially includes the town inside Detroit (those are by far the worst areas).

This fight isn't even in the same county as Detroit though and is right by the nice suburbs, although itself Pontiac is pretty shitty also but if you don't wander off the beaten path it is alright.

Who is Marley and has his sources been right in the past? I seriously have my doubts that that is a correct amount. Every other day or so I check the tickets and see how much they sell and every day more and more tickets are sold. You would think the ones that aren't being sold would not be available to be bought. Just in the cheap section they are already 30 rows deep at 35 a row. That right there is over 1000 tickets. I just don't buy what this guy is saying but we'll see in a few weeks. They have been advertising a lot for it too.

I know I hear stuff all the time about this fight but that is just me. We will see though.

If they sold 12k, then the average ticket would need to be 50 dollars in St Loius. It could be met, but they way they saw this most likely is, dang 600k up front, and if we sell 7K tickets at even 25 dollars, that's 175K.

It wAs ****** of them to ask for so much money to fight in St. Louis.
600K upfront money for Tim Bradley to come to your town?
R U Fucccking Kidding me?

He never even sold out one fight in the Dessert, He never even remotely reached 200K in gate revenue in the Dessert now he wants 600k up front to fight in STL?

What a fUCCKING BASTARD!

Now they are fighting in DTOWN and both of them looks bad now.

How much money is he going to ask for to fight in England?
Which has a history of being way more bias than STL!

Keep in mind all the other money that gets spent at a venue not just ticket prices.

Parking,food,drink,swag. That is where venues make a lot of their money.

Sorry I didn't mean Bradley wanted 600k up front, I mean the venue in Detroit gave Don King and Shaw 600k up front.

Bradley and Alexander are making over a mill each through HBO, but the venue can be anywhere DK and Shaw want.

I don't want to mislead and make it out Bradley is a bad ducker. He's actually a good fighter who wants big fights, but did duck Alexander for a while.

However a good fight is made.

True, but looks like the venue messed up.

This is a big fight, as a boxing fan this is a level 2, under Manny and Floyd level (Level 1) , but the next level IMO.
