SAN ANTONIO, TX - "Pacmania" has officially hit San Antonio and it has hit in a big, big way. The box office for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Jorge Solis WBC International super featherweight championship fight opened Saturday at 10 AM, and by the close of business on Sunday, it stood alone as the second-biggest opening weekend for a boxing event in San Antonio history. Bigger than Oscar De La Hoya's 1997 welterweight title defense against David Kamau, and even bigger than Pacquiao's 2003 knockout victory of Marco Antonio Barrera. Only the legendary welterweight title fight between Pernell Whitaker and Julio Cesar Chavez in 1993 had a bigger opening. [details]
