Diaz-Katsidis 1500 tickets sold in one day...

1500 is pretty good concidering theres about 2 months for the fight... this will be great fight!! katsidis dosent take a step back and i dont think diaz will as well

Maybe they make more money of betting in a place like Vegas than in seats? (don't know, I'm trying to make some sense to the fact that you presented) It's because they have gotten used to just picking up a site fee check and having the money guaranteed. Hatton's fight against Lazcano had a bigger gate $$ then his fight against Mayweather, promoters shop around the fights to casinos and venues that will guarantee the biggest fee. Thats why you get fights like Juan Diaz vs Julio Diaz in Chicago in front of 3000 fan. Don King probably got the best site fee there, so he doesn't have to do his Job of promote. It's like the promoters aren't promoters any more, they are brokers who collect a check from HBO and the Casinos, pay the fighters and get their cut.

Should be packed, a couple of hometown boys you can't go wrong. Problem today with promoters is they want the fights to be in Vegas all the time, maybe Golden boy will smarten up and start putting the fights where the fans will flock. Mosley vs Mayorga will sell good in LA Diaz vs Katsidis will sell good in Houston Hatton had a huge turnout and gate in Manchester.

Overrated... Run along, grown people are discussing boxing.

That fight is going to be the biggest war of 08. Mark my words.

Overrated...

Well its in the Toyota center which fits around 20k i'd say. So we will see what happens

for 1 day thats very good. Hopefully they sell all of them. A packed house for that fight would be amazing. I cant wait

Pretty good, actually. If they sell anything over 6K, they are doing decent for both being not the BIGGEST of names and coming off of losses. Though, with fighters this exciting, you'd hope that it'd have a bigger arena and turn out. Nonetheless, the winner will have a lot more fans and be able to get the bigger arenas/venues and all that good stuff.
