    NEW YORK, NY - With the original 16,000 tickets for "X-Plosive!" -- the June 9th world welterweight championship between Miguel Cotto and Zab Judah -- projected to sell out this week, Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank, and Madison Square Garden have decided to open the upper mezzanine section creating an additional 3,000 seats ($50 each) to accommodate the ever-growing demands of boxing fans. This will be the first time since 2001 The Garden has opened the mezzanine for a boxing event. Limited tickets at other price levels are still available. [details]

    This will be a big fight in New York but I see low PPV numbers for this fight.

      YES!!!! IM SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!! lol

      And i see decent numbers. 250,000 to 300,000 buys. Because people have been dying for a great matchup for a long time, and this is a fantastic one.

      People who are hardcore fans, the ones that buy every good PPV card, will buy this one. so thats 200,000 right there. And then theres the rest so i think itll do alright. No less then 200,000

            Part of the interest has to do with the PR community in NY, and part of the reason is Zab Judah is so well known. I think there's a lot of unpredictability here. If Cotto decisively defeats Judah, than he will really establish himself as one of the world's best. They both have a lot to gain and a lot to lose. This matchup has FOTY potential for certain.

                Yes, buy it. If I was in the US I would. If it's FOTY you'll regret not buying it.

                  I doubt PPV numbers will be overly impressive for this fight prolly about 200k.
                  Maybe 250k.
