Lou DiBella, President, DiBella Entertainment - “This is a great fight for Jermain Taylor. This is a great fight for boxing. We are very excited that we could bring this fight to Atlantic City. I have always wanted to promote a fight in Atlantic City and now I have the opportunity to do that. I live in the area and this is my backyard. With a strong urging from Ken Condon, we priced the tickets so that they are affordable for all boxing fans. To get a fight of this magnitude and have the top ticket price at only $400 scaled down to $50, all boxing fans will have the opportunity to watch this great middleweight championship bout.” [details]

Ross Greenburg, President, HBO Sports - "We really wanted to have this fight live on HBO’s World Championship Boxing. We will have a countdown special, just like we would have for a major pay-per-view show. It will debut on September 22nd in prime time and run on consecutive nights through the week. This fight reminds us that this sport is very much alive."
Ahh..so it's not a 24/7 style thing then. Just a regular countdown special.Comment

To be fair, Spinks was running in circles all night, Pavilk will be right in the pocket. I still think a UD is far more likely for Taylor.Comment
