DUDDY-PAVLIK: Could it sell out the Garden?!?!

[Kball15]

I think it would do like 12,000 easy, considering the mini-garden holds 5,000 and sells out everytime duddy fights there.

Add the fact that around 5,000 Pavlik fans would drive/fly in from Ohio, possibly even more because he's the champ now...

I think we could expect almost 7-10 thousand Duddy fans. I mean the guy is so popular there, he sells 5,000 seats so easily.

And this is his biggest fight so all his fans would be there...

I think, if promoted correctly, it could sell out the Garden if they dont sell tickets for the bleacher portion. So it seats 17,000...

I mean, thousands of nuetral fans would come out... i think thats a possible sellout, ELECTIC environment even if it doesnt, and probable 50/50 split crowd.

The fight would be exciting, with Pavlik undoubtedly coming out on top by KO, IMO.

thoughts or disagreements?

Duddy needs to get a big win against a big name first.

I definitely agree with the potential sell out you're talking about though.

With last nights performance, Pavlik could sell out the garden vs anyone.

I respect Duddy and he's definitely a pretty good all-around fighter, but Pavlik would throw him a vicious, unmerciful, one sided pounding.

KO..not TKO, KO. No more than 5 rounds.

I would love this fight. It would be three rounds of chaos before Pavlik lands a straight right that changes Duddy's life. Duddy's record still looks good on paper. You can sell this fight to the casual fan, and after having to go to hell and back against Miranda and Taylor, I'm OK with Pavlik taking an easier fight for his first defense.

Yeah but I get the impression that Pavlik genuinely wants to fight the best guys

[WLAD OWNS]

I think Pavlik would LITERALLY KILL John Duddy

[Underboss]

nyc has a large population of irish descendants.

Speaking of which. What the hell is Pavlik anyway?

Probably. But its also a business, so I'm sure Arum will look for a way to get Pavlik a couple of fights to build his fan base.
