      I went to the Barthelemy v Mendez 2 event with a small crew from NSB and although the promotion was atrocious there was a good size crowd at AA arena.
      Let me know if you go to the next card, I'll link up with you guys. I can't remember if it was you, Cuban, or another one of the Rigo supporters, but did you have a connect in Rigo's camp?

      I just remember somebody in one of these threads was getting updates from team members about his camp leading up to the Donaire fight.

      That, too. Which is unfortunate because he deserves to get paid very well and dude is a starving artist.

        Fill out? None. What is a recent example a promotional entity making an effort?

          Sure thing. It was a good crew, Cu****uy, JSFD, KOZONE his brother and couple others.

          But no.. no connection with Rigo or his camp.

              Awesome man, sounds good then! Hopefully we get Rigo or Lara to headline in the near future.

                Gamboa fought in Florida once or twice. Rigo as well. Casamayor fought there a bunch of times. I don't know if a Cuban fighter could or couldn't draw big numbers in South Florida on a regular basis, but clearly no promoter has been too encouraged by what they've seen there.

                  The Heat did good with Lebron but let's see how the attendance is this season.

                      Been to numerous live cards in S. Fla including 2x Gamboa fights.

                      vs De Jesus at Hollywood Hard Rock - Good turn out

                      vs Estrada at Nova Southeastern (Lara on the undercard) - Good turn out.
