Which version are you using? In TB 2.5 you would keep the capital letters but remove the space between the words. The correct size is 300x225 pixels. Madison Square Garden should be MadisonSquareGarden.jpg.

I've noticed this only happens when I import a fighter or use one from the RFG. You used to be able to copy an existing boxer, change his name and tweak his ratings to create a new fighter. Now I just take an existing fighter in the lower weight classes and re-write him into a new fighter. No proble...
