Comments Thread For: WBC: Jean Pascal Withdraws From Stevenson Title Race

[MDPopescu]

Where in the world is Kovalev a bigger draw that Pascal, or Stevenson for that matter, in Montreal? There will likely be 15,000 people in the venue on Saturday, and I'd be willing to argue that 10,000 people will be there to see Pascal and 4,000 people will be there to see a big fight.

Stevenson-Kovalev (for all the belts) is a big enough fight that the MGM Grand or Barclays Center would gladly put out a big site fee to bring them in, but other than that, the fight is biggest in Montreal, without much question.

50/50 is more than fair, tbh.

The Bell Center is app. 20,000 seats...

Attendance in 2008 for UFC 83 at Bell Center was 21,390, a complete sell out. I believe that is the maximum capacity for a fight card. Capacity for hockey is 21,273. I have no idea of the number of tickets sold for tonight's fight or if the fight will be held in the entire Bell Center or one of the various reduced seating configurations.
