jmm/katsidis sells more tickets than khan/maidana

[el malo]

jmm vs katsidis 4,900
khan vs maidana 4,600

imo boxing needs to get out of vegas.

well one had a Mexican.

You do realize that most of those were comps. If the attendance was only around 4,000-5,000 for these fights, far fewer people than that actually paid for their tickets.

yeah they do need to get out of Vegas..Bob Arum at least has the right idea doing big fights elsewhere


I'm pretty sure Pascal-Hopkins is going to sell out in Canada though...going to be a good atmosphere

Without a fucking doubt they need to get out of Vegas.

What UFC is doing is they visit major cities for almost all of their cards. People treat the UFC fights like a concert coming to town. Boxing really needs to do this start it out small with the big names going to New York, Miami, LA, Philly, Chicago, Dallas and everything. Make it an annual thing advertise it and it would do wonders for the sport.

The sport isnt going to survive on ppvs alone
