Holyfield vs Fres Oquendo, Nov 10th in San Antonio.


For those who don't know Fres is a very good fighter.

Does anyone know how much the tickets will range in price and when they go on sale? I will be there without a doubt.

Here are three things promoters need to pay attention to for this one to be successful:

Ticket pricing: This is the most important of the three, without question.

Word is Murad Muhammad, who is promoting the card along with Holyfield, is expecting a $2 million live gate. This is worrisome.

Holyfield-Oquendo has a chance to outdo both of those fights, provided tickets are priced correctly. And that means a $20 ticket — or cheaper — on the low end to attract the average fan.
Some sort of package — maybe a four-tickets-for-$40 deal — might be a good way to go. Those fans would spend another $50 or more on concessions and won't mind sitting in the nosebleed seats.

The key is to get people in the door. The dome will be configured for 28,000.

The worst thing Muhammad and Co. can do is to overprice the low-end ticket. Bob Arum admitted he made a mistake for De La Hoya-Kamau when the ticket prices started at $50. The result was a crowd of 10,000, about half of what was expected.

Oquendo has a decent record, but his 3 losses are against the only 3 recognizable fighters he's faced:

John Ruiz---TKO
Chris Byrd---Unanimus Decision
David Tua---TKO

Not saying he's a chump, but Holyfield should handle him. I would say it goes the distance.

He was robbed against Byrd. He was the first to beat Clifford Ettiene when Clifford was a big contender.

The Black Rhyno?

DO you get a prize for catching Holyfield's dentures?


Is the fright over after Holyfield's last brain cell is smashed to bits?
