HELP! De La Hoya vs Pacquiao Tour

[C-Lo]

I read today that they will be doing a multi-city press tour to promote the fight. They will be in New York and I am definitely going to make the trip to see the festivities.

Does anyone know where I can get a tour schedule or any information on how these things work and how I can be a part of it? Is it a public event where I can just show up?

Any help or information is appreciated..
