De La Hoya/Mayweather Rematch Tickets Available
Who wants De La Hoya/Mayweather tickets? Yes, that is right! The same two whos fight broke all PPV records will be boxing again in a rematch.
It looks like ESPN has information from the CEO of Golden Boy Promotions that the fight is almost finalized for September 13th or September 20th. If you haven’t been watching anything on these two fighters, you can get more informationa the Wikipedia page.
I used to watch boxing, it might have been back in the Tyson days, but I always was gearing up for a friendly gathering of my family to watch a PPV event that would rock the world. Boxing and wrestling will always draw large crowds to the events, as well as, via PPV channels. Some of the events could cost $100 just to get access to the match.
Think about those short Tyson matches that are over in less that 1/2 hour, what a waste of money right? But at least you got to be part of something amazing. At least, that’s the way I look at it.
Backed by five-months of promotion, which included an 11-city cross-country tour and HBO’s reality series “De La Hoya/Mayweather 24/7,” the first fight broke boxing box office records including total gross ($165 million); pay-per-view subscriptions (2.4 million); pay-per-view gross ($134.4 million) and live gate ($18,419,200).
With stats this impressive you can bet, no pun intended, the rematch will bring in similar numbers. Either way, I am sure it will be something to see. The fight seems to be getting in the way of Mayweather getting further into MMA (mixed martial arts), but that seems to be another story.
Generally I do not comment on websites, but I must to say that the post of your topic really forced me to do so! Thanks, great article.
