The big super fight Bradley v Alexander has sold 339 tickets!!

That's one good thing about the Brits. They might be genetically challenged, but they do support their fighters. Look at how Hatton and to a lesser extent Calzaghe were able to transport fans half way across the globe to watch a fight. And here are two very good fighters unable to command even a modicum of that kind of support. And that is no dig at the two American fighters here as they have been making all the right noises. Where are the fanbases? It bewilders me, it really does. Okay, not the best location for this fight and it is expensive, but it seems that there are hardly any fans out there.

Not good at all. This will be a quality scrap.

Not really a fair comparison with England being roughly the size of New York. If Hatton fans were Bradley fans driving to Michigan from the California They'd have to drive from England to Turkey.

I am saying that English fans travelled much further than that and in greater numbers. I know things are tough and understand, but less than 500 paying punters is sorely lacking. It's a great matchup, such poor numbers for such an enticing fight.

Good reasons have been given as to why the numbers are so poor, but it's still a poor reflection on the fanbases the two fighters have. They should have more devoted fans than this.

Like I say I honestly think fights like this should be brought over to the uk especially when they both want a neutral venue and this fight would of sold 5-10k tickets easy at the MEN arena, and the atmosphere over here is second to none imo.

Katsidis is a huge fan of fighting over here and loves the passion of the fans, if these huge fights like this are doing this poorly promoters needs to look at going over seas imo.

Rule # 1 in business....location, location. They cannot and should not export a fight of this stature. Thats jibber-jabber talk. It is a quality match to be sure.....its the marketing that has gone to shit. Boxing has gone short term and we have alot to do about that. If Manny or Haye drove by and gave em' both the finger, I bet they would sell a few hundred more tickets
