By T.K. Stewart - Make no mistake about it, promoter Dan Goossen knows a thing or two about this game they call boxing and he knows how to sell a prizefight.
Goossen, the co-promoter of tomorrow night’s Paul Williams vs. Winky Wright headliner at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, goes back nearly three decades with his first boxing promotional company. It was called “Ten Goose Boxing” and it was named after he and his nine siblings. Goossen has been around long enough to have hyped Mr. “T” before he ushered Gabe and Rafael Ruelas as well as Michael Nunn to world championships.
So Goossen obviously knows when he has a good fight on his hands and he’s a little exasperated that tickets for Saturday night’s big show are turning out to be selling about as fast as a parking lot full of General Motors’ finest. There are reports emanating from Sin City, which are difficult to validate, since any information that comes from the Mandalay Bay Events Center press offices are more controlled than the teleprompter at a Barack ***** news conference, that indicate 90% of the seats remain unsold.
