NYC Bars Showing Cotto/Pavlik?

Playwright Tavern - 49th b/t 7th and B'Way. Next to Pax Foods. Probably a cover though but get there early.

Hey, NY People...

I know these kind of threads always happen right before a PPV (and I apologize if somebody else already asked this, did a search and found nothing), but I'm wondering if anybody knows a spot where they might be showing the Cotto/Pavlik PPV.

Normally, I know it's likely that PPVs that aren't mega fights don't get shown in bars much. But the thing is Duddy is on the undercard and he has a huge following here in NYC, so I'm thinking maybe I might get lucky at some Irish pub or something. I know there's a good concentration of Irish pubs in and around Sunnyside. In case I can't get out there to scout locations, I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions?

Damn, now I'm thinking I should have scored a $50 ticket. Does anybody know how much beers are at The Garden? I assume like $10 or something. (Just trying to figure out how much the night would end up costing me. Hey, man, every penny counts these days.)

Anyways, any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

Jack Dempseys in midtown shows fights also. I think it's in the 30's near 6th? Somewhere within 10 blocks of that.. So you're just not going to the garden to save money? You're making me feel wasteful! Maybe you should booze up with a six pack(or two) at home then only buy like 2 beers at the garden. That's a 70 dollar night. If you go to the bar you'll pay a 20 dollar cover and probably drink your way up to 70 bucks anyway.

Hey man, thank you very much. I've actually seen a fight there before. The place is kind of small if I remember correctly.

Appreciate it. And props on your avatar. Marvelous and Larry Holmes are two of the best.

Hey, thanks for the info.

Yeah, I'm usually not this way with money, but I have to take the economy into consideration these days, unfortunately.

A few nights ago I checked online and there was still some tickets left, but they might be gone by now. I'm not sure if beers at the Garden are $10 or not, but I have a feeling they are, and I only pay $10 for a beer if I get to see a topless girl along with it. I just know I'm gonna drink at least four beers easy... (PS. I'm not an alkie... although it sounds like it.)

I think what I might do is go into the city early on Saturday and stop by the Garden. If they got any cheap seats left, I might take the plunge. If not, I'll hit the bar.

I dont know. I heard that PPV charges bars a ****load of money to play their fights.

If there is a twenty dollar cover, buy yourself a pint of whiskey and drink it in the bathroom. Maybe ask for a glass of tap water and give a dollar tip. I do that sometimes.

I just went online and I can get a $50 ticket (plus $10.50 surcharge) but I'm not crazy about the angle I would be sitting at. (And I'm not crazy about the surcharge either.) Can you buy tickets at will call? Have you done that before?

If I'm not mistaken and maybe you can look it up but the Garden holds like 19,000. how many seats were sold did you say? I think we'll be able to do walkups to the garden.
