Boxing fans & their ****** infatuation with cherrypicking pfp's is what's the problem.This fight is between 2/4 top fighters at 140.140 is currently 1 of boxing's best division.These guys are not sayyyy,cherrypicking 40 year olds & putting that **** on ppv/They're not beating lightweights at 149,(cheating on the scales),they are fighting the most dangerous guys available,each other.What more can a die hard,real fight fan require of it's fighters,seriously??

I don't like the site but come on...for real? We ALL KNOW what would happen had they fought in St. Louis. Bradley could beat the breaks off of Alexander and still wind up with a draw best case...more likely, he loses a tight split decision with 2 of the 3 judges coming from Devon's own state.

They whould have had it in Vegas somewhere...

Gary Shaw is right. Tickets mean nothing in this type of fight. The new owners of the Silverdome paid Shaw/King like $600K for the fight. So they are are happy with that. Theyre not going to invest more to sell tix cause most of that $ is the owner of the domes and King/Shaw know it will be a hard sell. Now its the dome owners job to sell it too but they dont care, they want the fight to give tickets to corporations, local politicians, unions, etc. and to have it on a big TV event like this one. They bought this fight as an investment to promote the dome for future events. The Silverdome was pretty much unused since the Lions left. The new owners of the Dome bought it for only $583,000 but the place was dead. They got it for that price from Pontiac cause they promised to invest big $$$. They are just trying to build it back up, marketing the Dome through big TV events. The night of the fight, there will probably be 5,000-7,000 people there, the place will look great, and it'll look like a big event. Mostly by giving away tickets. The winner of the fight will look like a star, and the Silverdome will look like a great place again.

Great Post!
