Comments Thread For: Berto Applauds Zaveck For His Guts To Fight Overseas

[Medved]

there will be around 100 slovenian fans in biloxi (80 is the official number, but there are likely some coming at the last minute or privately). i'm sure there would be a lot more, but we also have an european basketball championship here right now (in lithuania), and basket >> boxing still.

Dont worry, Slovenians will be the only ones who will pay for their tickets, along with a few hardcore Boxing fans who happen to live close to Mississippi.

Berto and his promoter will give away free tickets to everyone he knows.

I wont be surprised to see 1000-2000 free tickets given away for this fight just so they can pretend there is some people in the crowd and for them to buy some drinks.

I still think its a dumb move coming to Mississippi out of all the places in USA to fight Berto. I guess Zaveck hasnt been watching what happened to Kotelnik/Matthysse/Lara. Why not make the fight in Las Vegas or even in California?

You going to a state that has a bad boxing commision, a shady Al Hayemon fighter........... Zaveck will need a KO to win, he is getting robbed.

Umm, you do know Zaveck draws 30,000 people + in his home town and has all of his country behind him?

berto has 10 fans that will show up to see him fight with the rest being free promoter tickets.

Dont be surprised to see more Slovenians in the crowd than Americans.

Umm, do you know I already pointed this out in my post?

One more time: Berto is the bigger draw (well, he has no fans, but HBO are determined to continually throw money at him) and Zaveck is from a country where boxing generates a lot less money than in the US.

i believe the venue has around 1500 seats. rip chudd also mentioned there is a military base around, and those folks would be interested. how many of those are free tickets i can't predict.
remember when berto fought quintana 'fight for haiti' there were like 900 asses in attendance lol.
also more fun, a week ago senchenko fought avendano (a certified bum) in ukraine on a 50.000 seat stadium with 2000 in attendance. ukraineans don't wanna pay for this **** anymore ahahah.

Leo what is it like in Slovenia? I am very interested in other countries and I like to travel as much as possible. Im very curious about the cultures in a lot of the eastern european countries. . . Is there a good time to be had for tourists (although i am not the typical american tourist)? Will I be welcomed by the locals in some of the smaller cities as an American visitor?

I feel like there is a very good time to be had in some of the smaller, less known countries in Europe. Rather than go to every other country in europe that is well known.

It will be funny if zaveck dominates and knocks out Berto. People will instantly start to discredit Ortiz's win over Berto and say that he stands no chance beating Mayweather when he's no better than Zaveck.

People are already saying this tho, including me. Actually almost everyone is saying that except a few Ortiz fanboys.

Berto is happy his opponent is coming to his soil for a gift decision and hold his new championship belt hostage. I hope Zaveck proves me wrong.
