Pacquiao the promoter!
Monday, September 15 2008

Looks like the first boxing show promoted by four-time world champion Manny Pacquiao will be a hit. Pacquiao's debut as a promoter will be on September 25 in association with Sycuan Ringside Promotions and it was announced today that all $250 dollars ringside tickets have been sold out for the show.


Pacquaio who just landed in the United States on Sunday night will be ringside on September 25 when some of his boxers will see action. The memorable night of boxing in El Cajon will feature Mexican boxers against Filipinos with the main event pitting world ranked Bernabe Concepcion against Mexican champion Giovanni Caro in a ten-round super bantamweight bout that begins at 7:30 p.m. (local time).


Other Pacquiao-backed boxers include junior welterweight Dennis Laurente (29-3, 15 KOs) fighting against Arturo Urena (20-15, 12 KOs) and lightweight Mercito Gesta (13-0-1, 5 KOs) co mpeting against Alain “Conan” Hernandez (12-5-2, 7 KOs) of nearby Tijuana.


Tickets for the outdoor venue are on sale now. Tickets are priced at $250 (sold out), $150, $75 and $50. You can purchase online at Sycuan Band of Kumeyaay Indians - Culture, History & Pow Wow - El Cajon, California, via phone at (619) 659-3380 or in person at the Sycuan box office.
