Pistons-Pacers Brawl: How much $$$ will the 'assaulted' fans get?

Several of the fans who were pushed/shoved/stuck by varying Pacers team members are waiting to file civil suits (piggybacking on criminal investigations).

How much $$$ do you think they will collect?

Normally, attending a sports game and being hit by game-related events like a foul baseball or errant basketball does not result in a legal right to collect because of the theory of ASSUMPTION OF RISK.

However, AOR does not apply here since players do not normally charge the stands to kick ass. Nor would a fan be reasonable in assuming such a risk since they normally attend matches just to watch.
