Due to the extreme ticket demand for what is on track to become the highest grossing fight in Texas in the last seven years and one of the highest grossing fights ever, more tickets for Golden Boy Promotions' upcoming February 28 event at Toyota Center in Houston, Texas have been released to the public for sale.

The potential fight-of-the-year candidate, featuring Ring Magazine world lightweight champion Juan Manuel "Dinamita" Marquez against Houston's former three time world champion Juan "Baby Bull" Diaz and Houston native and 2000 Olympic Silver Medallist Ricardo Rocky Juarez taking on unbeaten WBA World Featherweight Champion Chris "The Dragon" John, has sold over 10,000 tickets in just three weeks.

Marquez vs. Diaz, the 12 round main event for Marquez' Ring Magazine World Lightweight Championship and John vs. Juarez, the 12 round co-main event for John's WBA World Featherweight Championship, is presented by Golden Boy Promotions and sponsored by Cerveza Tecate and Southwest Airlines.

The world title bouts will take place on February 28 from Toyota Center in Houston, Texas and will be televised live on HBO's World Championship Boxing beginning at 10 pm ET / 7 pm PT.

As this event promises to be a historic night at Toyota Center, more tickets in various price ranges have been put on sale. Tickets for Marquez vs. Diaz, priced at $300, $150, $75, $50 and $25, are still available for purchase online at www.ToyotaCenterTix.com, by phone at 1-866-4-HOU-TIX, at select Houston area Randalls locations and also at the Toyota Center Box Office.
