Comments Thread For: Bradley vs Alexander Heading to Detroit, Says Shaw

[Rome-By-Ko]

This is good news sounds like we in for a fair fight..Bradley by UD..

It would have been a fair fight in St. Louis. They could of had the rematch in Los Angeles, Vegas or Detroit and done really good.

I find it strange that they decided on the Silverdome though. The only thing I can think of is it was very cheap since nothing really happens there anymore. It's gonna look strange to see 10,000 people in an arena that could hold nearly 100,000.

Yeah, I don't get it either. So many venues in Detroit and they pick the Silverdome? The Palace, Cobo, Joe Louis, U of D, and other venues around the area would seem like much better fits.

It will be a very odd atmosphere for the people going...

True indeed. Although I'd push for the "Malice at the Palace II" despite the size ha!

This is a big fight on this forum. Martinez-Williams got 5k and Marquez-Katsidis got the same. Since this isn't going to be held in Cali or St. Louis, how many tickets can they sell?

I have no idea, FSM. All I know is that we'll be tuning into to a stellar bout. Just Glad Bradley and Alexander finally signed instead of opting to take on the Campbell's and Witter's (who no doubt were good fighters at one point) of the division.

Silverdome, lol I haven't been there in ages. Tickets better be dirt cheap.


As for it being a fair fight because it being on neutral ground, I wouldn't say that Michigan has a weak commission so whoever hands the heaviest suitcase to the officials has the advantage~

It will sell hardly 10000 in detroit

[indystress]

Dirrell/Abraham did 5000 and that was a SHO fight with no hype. This is a HBO WCB event. 10,000 people will be in the house. When do tickets go on sale?

what do u mean dirrell/abraham got no hype? both fighters got hyped with the rest of the super 6 from the begining.

[Kevin Malone]

Dirrell has fans in Michigan, especially with his family in Flint. Neither Bradley or Alexander has any sort of fanbase in Michigan except for hardcore boxing fans. I think it has a chance of getting a decent crowd with Don King promoting it though...

[JDezi4]

I was at the Dirrell/Abraham fight and they had everyone sit at one side to make it look sold out. Can they pull that off at the silverdome?

And the thing about Dirrell/Abraham, there r a lot of Armenians in the Detroit area, and there certainly were a lot of Armenians there. African Americans aren't as loyal as most other races. If anything, the Silverdome was the worst part about this decision.

But I'm going
