Stevenson couldn't even bring 5k people to attend

Shoulda used 1Iota and gave free tickets away... but I guess people didn't want them

.@yvonmichelGYM says that attendance in Quebec City was 4729 #boxing

Kovalev/Pascal brought in 3 times as much.

Eh, it's an afternoon fight. Still Adonis has trended straight down after the Cloud fight. Still not horrible, that's what Lemieux used to average as a ME before he lost to Rubio.

I didn't check 1Iota's site... but they probably should've used it

That's the best Stevenson will do as the lineal "champion" and WBC belt holder.
Surprised they didn't throw it out onto the street or give it to the homeless people he was feeding to attend

Well Kovalev doesn't have a home base. His fights have mostly been in the other fighters backyard or in small arenas. If he and Stevenson fight it will 100% be held in Quebec.

Could just as easily be held in Montreal. Probably get a better turn out as well.

Being in the afternoon is no excuse for a poor turnout. We are used to having sporting events in the afternoon here in Montreal - Quebec also at one time when they had a hockey team. A Habs afternoon game will always be a complete sell out. We have had afternoon WWE shows that have been close to sell out events as well. No reason why a title unification fight in Montreal should not draw a decent crowd with half decent promotion.

As for 1iota, they probably do not operate in Quebec due to our restrictive language laws where they would have to do business in French only.

Those were not PBC productions and were properly promoted. I live in Montreal and none of my friends were even aware of this fight happening. Usually I know a few people who will drive up for a fight, especially one in the afternoon on a long weekend. No one I know showed any interest in this at all.
