As evidenced by the brisk pace at which tickets are selling, Philadelphia fight fans are excited to welcome back their former two division and hometown world champion Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins to the ring on December 2 when he faces Enrique Ornelas at The Liacouras Center at Temple University.
Fans are not only coming out in large numbers to witness the explosive action from one of boxing's legends, but they are also supporting worthy causes as Hopkins has committed to donating three dollars ($3.00) from each ticket sold to charity, with one dollar ($1.00) going to each of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Philadelphia & Susquehanna Valley, The Hero Thrill Show and the National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc.
Tickets priced at $200, $100, $75, $50 and $25, are on sale and available for purchase exclusively through ComcastTIX on line at ComcastTIX.com, by calling 1-800-298-4200 or in person at the Liacouras Center box office.
"Broad Street Brawl": Hopkins vs. Ornelas, the 12-round light heavyweight bout, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions East and will be televised live on Versus beginning at 8 p.m. ET. Doors open at 5 p.m. and the first bell rings at 6 p.m. ET.
