Dan Rafael: "Alexander vs Bradley Has Sold About 2,000 Tickets"

[The Gambler1981]

Crazy thing is, even 30,000 people in there would seem really low in the big scheme of things, and I know this fight won't reach maybe even half of that capacity.

Oh yea, even if you put the best fight in there and gave them 6 months and they promoted the **** out of it I don't know if they sell out.

No matter what is was going to look small.


Now just think the dude that bought it paid $400 grand for it. I don't know how he can make money with it but hey if you can get a venue that hosted a Super Bowl, the World Cup, the biggest Wrestlemania why not give it a try.

When will boxingscene stop posting Michael Marley articles? They guy is less accurate than the Philadelphia Eagles kicker.

I was getting lectured on why I should not downplay Marley's credibility last night

I read something about the site fee in comparison to other spots they were looking at was really low.

They paid $600 grand i think that is pretty good for a non casino site, although there are casino's in Detroit so maybe they kicked in some loot (although not a lot since the fight would be over a half hour from Detroit).

2,000 wih 2 weeks to go, need to push for 3,000 unlikely though

I read for this fight there will only be 7,000 seats available?

Don't know how true that is.


Like in the Yankee Stadium. It holds about 50,000 people but for the Cotto-Foreman fight they cornered it way down to, I forgot how many. Probably 10k or less, around there.
