Comments Thread For: Thurman vs. Collazo Heading To USF Sun Dome In Tampa

[OnePunch]

No, I dont expect the event to draw much or help Thurman build himself among casual fans. Tampa isnt a very good sports market and I dont expect him back there after this fight. Hopefully Im wrong though and they do come out because the constant Vegas fights are bland. Its a lousy bout but he doesnt have any other fights out there at the moment and he should be able to make quick enough work to get back by year's end.

Dont compare that to what Brook is doing. You said they could get 30-40k vs Rios in Sheffield and again put it on PPV, which will make Hearn very happy. haymon's paying for his time on ESPN and will take a loss

When I co-promoted Lacy-Reid in Tampa we did over 11,000, and when I co-promoted Tarver-Jones 3 here we did over 18,000, so it can be done.. I also co-promoted Winky-Quartey and Tarver-Woods, but those cards didnt draw near as well as the first 2. I would expect Keith to draw somewhere between 5,000 and 6,000 paid, depending on how the tickets are scaled and how much actual promotion gets done. I would guess they will probably scale the SunDome for around 8,500 and paper a few thousand seats.....

The USF Sun Dome? The f**k? That's the best venue they could come up with?

The Forum is booked with a Storm game, and the Trop and Ray Jay are too big.....

won all 6 rounds and barry hern cried like a *****

But Khan didn't look good in that fight. McCloskey was barely throwing punches but making Khan miss badly. So really he's not some king of the southpaws.

Collazo stopped Ortiz early he cant be that bad.

just short of 10,000 seats in the venue, within 30 minutes of Clearwater, FL

Name a better venue
