Anyway, I checked back today, and the same pair of tickets("best available" 100 level) are still available. And this pair is that pair that is recommended to anyone who clicks “best available” 100 level seats.


And another thing, while on the phone with a ticketmaster guy waiting for the tickets to go on sale, I was informed that all the ringside seats centered on the ring were unavailable as per the promoter. So actual fans would never even have a chance to get to the good seats without resorting to scalpers.

Once Pavlik becomes more commercial and better know by casual fans he will become a superstar. Blue collar very exciting and a nice guy. At the moment im not to sure that many Pavlik fans outside of Ohio travel to his fights and Hopkins has always been a huge flop in both ppv and live gate he just stinks when it comes to action. still a great fighter though.
