    Detroit is a poverty stricken shit hole. Which is actually a good breeding ground for fighters.

    It still would need money and good ongoing management. If the Kronk is going to come back it can only be done with serious investment. Sentiment for Emmanuel's wishes won't last long once checks start bouncing.

    It'd Be Nice if Emanuel Steward's Family SPOKE OUT on WHY they're Having Signage & Memorabilia TAKEN DOWN @ the Kronk Gym...It Seems like the POLAR OPPOSITE of What Manny Would've WANTED to Transpire, Given his Obvious PASSION for Boxing...

    Hearns' MESSAGE is Noble, but Like Whiskey Alluded to, it'll Take a Level of COMMITMENT that will Outlast All of the Requisite FEEL GOOD Sentiments...

    why did it ever close again? :scratcher:

    i guess there were some serious costs associated with keeping it going, like changing light bulbs and mopping the floor every couple of weeks

    Don't forget the cost of the urinal cakes.

    Why doesn't Tommy Hearns buy it and open it himself? Or is he too broke these days to buy it?

    Not sure how well off Hearns is but i'd imagine buying property in Detroit doesn't take a major bank roll. However Hearns is brain damaged. I doubt he could run a lemonade stand.

    where are Stewards millions of dollars going to??
    can't any of his heirs throw spare some pocket change to re-open the gym?
