cotto/jennings flights from ireland were 260 euro hotel was 160 for the weekend and tickets were free
I go once a year. I'm in the US and in the San Fran area, so, these #'s are West Coast US based. Airfare/Hotel package: $300 (2 nights at a hotel along the lines of MGM or Excalibur) Fight tickets: I spent $500 on Hatton-Pac tickets, but, that is the most we've ever spent. I usually spend around $300 for semi-decent seats. I try and look for shows that are a little below the superstar level. For several reasons: Prices are more reasonable Most "superstar level shows" the last 10 years have involved De La Hoya who really hasn't had an exciting fight in about 10 years. Plus, the superstar level shows tend to have crappier undercards. Besides Pac-Hatton I've also gone to the following PPV's: Margarito-Cotto Pac-Barrera 2 DeLaHoya-Quartey Morales-Barrera 2 Morales-Pacquiao 1 Barrera-Hamed I suggest going to a show that has a strong foreign crowd rivalry/element. The crowd and the atmosphere around these shows are awesome and increase the level of enjoyment.
cotto margarito was ****in dope. too bad cotto lost and i lost a little money... oh well, it was well worth it.
You can't tell me the legit middleweight championship isn't a big fight. Besides, someone mentioned Cotto-Jennings and this was the same card, so I figured I'd hold up the other half of the ppv show.
$50 tickets for Judah-Cotto. Took the train into the City, which stops right under MSG. and it was awesome (besides the quick and easy commute) very lively and diverse crowd aging from the very young, to the very old
Rahman-Barrett ..a Showtime PPV horrible main event however, other bouts were cool like Ricardo Mayorga decisioning Michele Piccirillo, Luis Collazo TKO Miguel Gonzalez, and Oliver McCall TKO Przemyslaw Saleta (McCall stepping in for Golota).
