ALTHOUGH skeptics continue to rant about the size difference, tickets to the Dec. 6 Oscar De la Hoya-Manny Pacquiao “Dream Match” card is expected to be gobbled up by buyers in an inexplicable rate, says American boxing guru Don “War a Week” Chargin.
“The demand is wild. This fight is going through the roof. I was a bit skeptical at first due to the size difference but this is what the public wants,” says Chargin in an interview with Boxingconfidential.
Tickets are priced at face value rates of $1,500, $1,000, $750, $500 and $250 and will be made available to the public on Sept. 24, but internet scalpers have already started selling some tickets at a price of $42,000.
Meanwhile, De la Hoya has continued to baffle boxing experts as he now looks extremely in shape with still more than two months left before the fight.
“I was with Oscar De La Hoya on Thursday evening for an interview while he ate dinner (steak and steamed broccoli) in a private room at a restaurant at the MGM Grand, and I can say this -- he already looks like he is in tremendous condition 2½ months before he meets Manny Pacquiao,” says Dan Rafael in his report over ESPN.
Pacquiao was in Pinamungajan, Cebu last night with close buddy Wakee Salud for a boxing event they co-promoted and is slated to fly to Los Angeles tonight accompanied by trainers Buboy Fernandez, Nonoy Neri and Michael Koncz. Correspondent Salven Lagumbay
