DAN RAFAEL: "They Expect a crowd of about 15,000 [for Diaz-Katsidis]"

[Kball15]

Jeff (New York): Hey, I was wondering if you knew how well tickets have sold for Katsidis-Diaz? Will the placed be packed or empty??? And are you surprised by this?

SportsNation Dan Rafael: (2:12 PM ET ) By all accounts, they have sold very, very well and they expect a crowd of about 15,000.

Wow, sold a ton better then i thought it was going to. Sold better then a lot of big fights reall... Abraham-Miranda 2 did like 4,000 seats, Cotto-Marg did like 11,000 seats, Calderon-Cazares did about 10,000 seats, and Pacquiao-Diaz did like 9,000 or something.

So those are some impressive numbers. The packed house should make the fight muuuuuch more exciting then it otherwise would have been, sooo... i think this is going to be an all time classic lightweight fight.

I don't believe that's true, but it'd be really great if it did. I guess we'll find out soon enough though.
