[John Smith III]

The Silverdome has been around forever. Its not a hotel and its not a casino. It doesnt need any freakin exposure. It needs to sell tickets

This fight should have in Vegas. Big mistake

It also hasn't been open for a long time and was not a player for majorish events.

This lets people know they are in the game~

We could always see something like this...
Darchinyan vs Agbeko - 11772 attended, 757 paid

Gary Shaw is also Darchinyan's promoter.

As Manny Steward said a few weeks ago: Detriot isnt a boxing town. They support guys from Detriot/Kronk, but other than that people in Detriot aren't really fight goers.

Combine that with that fact that neither Bradley or Alexander are stars and that Detriot is in terrible economic shape.

339 sounds perfectly accurate to me.

That is fairly ignorant.

At least spell Detroit right.

HAHAHA yea.

Even if people get in for free they still end up spending a ton of bread.

That is a possibility

Don King, Shaw, and Dibella, the rest of the promoters DONT KNOW **** about promoting in todays market. These are old dinosaurs, bring in Dana.

I will just point this out to people talking about a bad economy.

People in a bad economy will pay for entertainment because they want an escape (tickets are not outrageously priced either), if you want to say they are doing a poor job promoting fair play but I have seen and heard several ads in the area although if they aren't convincing the public then yea that is coming up short.
