Alexander vs Bradley Jr.

I just heard on January 29th they are fighting at the Silverdome in Pontiac Michigan!!! That is like 15 minutes from me. I wonder how much the tickets will go for cause i would love to go.

I guess Jerry Jones must have started a trend by having those 2 Pacquiao fights at Cowboy Stadium, and now the Silverdome is getting into the act.

I'd say at least $50, plus parking fees if you're driving a vehicle.

BTW, Tim

Glad to see you posting here dude.

Thanks Ring. Its alittle slow over at ninjas so just to stay active posting I got hooked up here and seem to like this place also, so i probably will be a frequent poster here.

I hope you get good tickets Timmy, the fight should be pretty entertaining.

My loss is your gain. I thought for sure the Lou would win out but somehow competitive fairness won out over the almighty dollar. I would've brought some cousins to the fight and tried to influence the judges to give Alexander the fight

enjoy the fight..

Yea I hope they dont overprice them

When I went to Ward-Kessler they wherent too bad out here in Oakland, 35 + fees ended up around 40 something

Maybe ticket sales will be slow and you'll get comped

What was the primary reason the Silverdome was picked for Bradley/Alexander? I mean the facility and city itself does not make sense...

Apparently the folks who run the Silverdome are putting up a lot of money (stunningly more than $500,000 from what I am told) to host the fight.

WOW, I think Jerry Jones is starting a trend. If this fight is a succes (which I think will sell) we may see more fights in NFL Stadiums. Cotto fighting at the home of the Giants/Jets? very possible

This fight will sell, 2 young black champions in post Katrina, they will fill seats. Sometimes people dont go to fights because of whos fighting, they go just to go.

I think this will be a decent fight. Bradley is going to force Alexander to trade. We will see if Alexander has learned from the Kotelnik fight (how to fight going backwards, how to not go straight back, how to do more than flurry and then stand there to get potshot).

I'm taking Bradley by decision as he seems to have a more consistent workrate.

True, the big fight big venue is gaining steam

Arum trying to do Cotto & Foreman double header at Giants Stadium next year

I know Kieran Mulvaney said this fight is getting an HBO Countdown show which will definitely help

And like you said, two young talented ranked African American fighters in the main event in an urban area should do alright

i like the fact that vegas is not getting all the top fights..this helps develope boxing fans because they get a chance to see a top fight live localy..keep spreading it around..

No question! Bring boxing back to the people! Stay away from the casinos

Isn't there a rematch clause in the contract regardless of the outcome?

I think so, I hope Bradley KO's Devon

it's a shame because the next logical step would be Khan/Maidana winner vs Bradley/Alexander. fuck the rematch

Desert Storm KO!

The Black Dome FTW!

Wasn't the Silverdome for sale a while back for like $500K or something? Hell, that's the price of a pretty nice house in a lot of places

It will be interesting to see what kind of numbers the fight does, although Bradley & Alexander are well known by us hardcore fans, i'm not sure the general boxing public (casual fans) know who they are, especially Alexander.

Bradley-Alexander tix go on sale this Friday. Priced from $25-$400. Silverdome box-office at 248-338-2500 or silverdometickets.com

Cheap seats for 25, not bad, hope they get a nice crowd for it

They need to fire their marketing people ASAP though, this poster is really bad lol

25 dollars for general admission is a great price..finaly sensibilty prevails..i hope they sell out the place.

I hope they try to get the right guys on undercard (local guys/regional guys).

I hope they go hardcore in trying to promote the fight locally. Start reaching out to all the Detroit print and tv media as early as possible. Go to the extreme to promote this damn fight.
