Craford/Gamboa selling well, 10k tickets sold already

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

You never got over that Miami PED scandal, did ya?

Yes and no.

Whats the point of being a Gamboa fan? He was a huge disappointment. Why get excited if hes only gonna be fighting once a year... if lucky. And hes already what, 33?

Gamboa the cashcow. Even in the middle of nowhere.

Oh yah I bet both of the Cubans in Nebraska will show up

Both? Lucky if they even have 1.

I'm glad to hear that it's going to be a packed house in Nebraska.

earnie gabion is a nice guy, but he's no news source.

If this fight can sell 10k in Omaha, Nebraska there's no way anyone can tell me a Cuban in Miami won't sell same numbers.

I think Omaha it sells way more. I'm surely not going to Vegas to see Crawford v Gamboa.

Thats the problem Matts v Danny had. With no east coast venue avaialble it didn't make sense to have it in CAli since niether fights there regualrly.

But you'd fly to Omaha for it?

Just looked these facts up real quick: population of the state of Nebraska, <2 million; population of the state of Nevada, <3 million; population of Omaha, >400,000; population of Las Vegas, ~600,000. So, for sheer numbers, both the state of Nevada and Sin City outnumber their counterparts...and that's not even taking into consideration the masses of tourists not counted in the census.

lol!!! No way. I dont know if I can get a flight from Newark to Nebraska. Gotta go to Tetrboro lol!!!

my point is Vegas has a lot of people that travel there for fights. Crawford is from Nebraska and has the built in base fans that can drive to the fight.

I can't see another venue where this particular fight would draw as many fans, especially if its the headlining fight.

[DannYankee]

Crawford fighting one of the best around in his hometown. I would have been surprised if it didn't sell well there cant be that many great boxers or big events in nebraska right now. Smart move imo.

[PRchamp]

When there is a good fight and not a mismatch the fans show up to watch a competitive fight. Glad the fight sold 10K in Nebraska but I'm not surprised because no knock on Nebraska but what more is there to do out there??

WAR GAMBOA!!
