    If he doesn't stack Peterson's potential DC card, I could see me being able to go to that.

      What is the thinking on Khan fighting Algieri?? I'd give Khan a pass to be fighting a lighter foe given that he has sort of climbed his way back into the top of the welterweights, but there is just this arrogance of Khan acting like this fight makes sense. Algieri has never fought above 140 besides getting blasted for 12 rounds by Manny at 144. Where is the logic in this fight getting made? I admit this seems like it would be a great style match up even if Khan's power is too much. Algieri is about to set the bar for himself with an elite fighter who is rated below mediocre guys like Swift and Brook. Make no mistake it would be a huge win for Algieri but he has a lot too lose, while Khan has everything too lose. Both guys have little gain.

        Fight is on for comparisons sake

          I applied, and 1iota offered me tickets for this Friday's card. In the end I turned them down when I found out that in order to CONFIRM your seat, you have to "check-in" at the venue by 3:30pm.

          Wasn't planning to go that early. I'd guess I'd probably still get in even if I arrived later, but not interested in chancing it.

            Yeah it is early as hell. Don't really want to be there for 6-7 hours. Still I don't get too many opportunities to take my dad to a fight.

              Is it possible to check in then leave and come back?

                or a measuring stick for Floyd... another Floyd gatekeeper perhaps?

                  I can't say with authority, I didn't read all the fine print of the e-ticket I saw. But common sense tells me you WOULD be able to. If would be pretty funny if they stipulated that once you entered the building, they you were a virtual hostage until the end of the show.

                    Did it take long to get tickets after getting wait listed?

                    This one might be different since it's a lot further away
                    Not even the day after I requested the tickets I got and email sent to me saying I got them.

                      It's possible that they require people to check in early and will put some kind of bracelet on your wrist for you to re-enter at the proper time. This is likely done to prevent people from simply getting free tickets and then selling them on the street.
