Start saving now & ya may be able to get there next year. It is truly a wonderful event- BUT...some years are sorry. My first trip was nice considering I went to meet up with an entire forum then called Boxingbb...without them it would've sucked- one- Holmes being the star that year played up to him being the dingaling he comes across as.
Even forced to apologize to a fan whom he said- he'd give an autograph for $.

His point was that Canastota makes a lot of money off fighters who go broke...good observation-but piss poor way to get it across. I was at a auction/dinner (costs about $120) I am so glad I did not raise my hand..
I think it was an autograph (to play to Larry's point) signed by Ray Leonard, Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran...

So lets start the bid, 15, do I hear 15...(so I open my wallet and was like...shit..$15 dollars...what a bargain...I may go up to $30
Then one guy got the bid and the bidder (THEN SAID)...we got 15....15....can we get 16 hundred dollars....
