I have gone to a lot of Duddy fights and it is always an exciting atmosphere. Due to his limitations I would advise his team to take the risk and fight Pavlik because a loss to a red hot world champ like Pavlik could still raise his stock. My question is could this fight sell even close to 20,000 tickets. Duddy could draw a decent number coupled with the fact it will be a St. Paddy's Day party in MSG. My question is how many could Pavlik sell? Those outside of the northeast cant really understand the environment that would exist in the worlds most famous arena. It would be a special night and probably a short night.
This fight would sell out MSG. There is a lot of Irish tourist that come to NY on St. Pat weekend. Plus the fans of Youngtown would come over here too. It would be crazy in MSG and it would matter if the fight was special just because Duddy Irish and Kelly Pavlik is a beast.
How many fans could Pavlik draw from Youngstown and how long of a ride is it to NY? I was at the St. Paddy's Msg show and it was like a big party but there is a huge difference between the arena and the theater.
400 miles from Youngstown to NYC. I was at Kellys fight when he won the Title & if this comes off, I'll be at his first Title defense. (((GO PAVLIK))):!:
It also took three times for Cotto to finally sell out the arena on the Puerto Rican Day Parade; helps gauge the event.
It would sell out the Garden for sure:good Kelly is red hot right now and Duddy has a BIG following it would magic at MSG:thumbsup I also think it would a real slugfest and better fight then most of you think:bbb Duddy is a top contender with good hand speed and power and can take a shot the guy will go out with a guns blazing he and Kelly could other Gatti vs Ward:yep
I have a feeling Duddy is a bleeder. Campos cut him pretty good over both eyes if I recall, & Pavlik will bust him up. If he doesn't perform surgery, than KP by KO. Hey, I like that! This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected This content is protected
I do have a wee bit uh the Irish in me, so I hate to rain on the St Paddy's day parade, but even though they would most likely sell out the garden, the fight itself would be a complete blow out. Pavlik in 2 rounds! Boo
