    excellent news..crawford is being matched tough good that he is moving seats with an opponent like gamboa..if i was in the area that fight would be on the top of my list..one of the best of this year potentially.

      it's not like gamboa is the draw for the crawford fight. he's part of the draw, but the real rub is that they've got a "world champion" boxer from omaha. they're also probably all but giving the tickets away.

      i'd be interested to see what kind of numbers gamboa or rigondeaux would do in miami.

        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.
        Teterboro! lmao

        Maybe you're right on that point. But while you're right about people not flying in specifically for that fight in Vegas, the fact is that there would be far more people there to begin with, many of whom are there for the "Vegas experience". And, besides ******** and ho's, what's more Vegas than a boxing match? I can see at least as many drunks stumbling into a Vegas arena to watch two boxers they never heard of as supporters of the hometown hero crowding a venue in Omaha. Just my opinion.

          I was in Vegas for ODH v Bhop-hoes don't come out unless its floyd, tyson, odh, manny. They ain't coming out for Crawford. Its like if Troy Ave did a show tonight and then Jay z did a show.

            I've been to Vegas so many times, I lost count long ago. Not that I'm into that sort of thing, but the ho's always seemed to be out. Of course, if there's blood in the water, you can expect more sharks....

              I wasnt trying to say they're selling cause of Gamboa. Im just saying, if Omaha can sell 10k for a boxing fight then Miami would have to do similar numbers for a marquee Cuban name.

              I mean, who the hell really expected 10k sold in Oma-freaking-ha. Naaa mean?

                  Shut your dumbass up. If they never tried how'd they know? Instead they're busy sending Lara to Mississippi to dight Ronald Hearns.

                    Sources in the industry tell me this is the reason why the fight is selling so well.

                      I hope this fight doesn't end up being a snooze fest like I think it will. That will be 10k disappointed people.
