All in all, I'd say that the 15,600 number isn't at all unreasonable.

Tedoradze is so much better than Berry... at least he looks better - I've never seen someone with a more rediculous stance than Berry in all of MMA. He's the true defininition of rock em sock em robots - his head literally never moves :P Anyway, another good card. No monster fights but lots of good fighters. I guess Zelg vs Weir is fight of the night. I was going to go to this Cage Rage but my mate I was going with is going Skiing instead :(

According to Le Journal, The Saint-Isidore Athlete received very close to $500,000 including bonuses, and reportedly received a van and a Hummer (no model on that, hope it's an H2, the H3 looks like a glorified Jeep Cherokee). It also reports 15,600 people at Arco. I haven't seen the officially released gate figures from the CSAC to compare that with, but it is my understanding that Arco holds 17,317 for Basketball's Sacremento Kings games. I have no idea how an octagon setup would alter that number if it would at all. A word to the wise. Le Journal du Montreal is not known for it's fact checking. The Montreal Gazzette or Le Droit would be a far better information source. However, it does not appear that either paper reported these numbers (or the event much at all).
