Tickets on sale tomorrow.

First smoke on me for all OKPs coming out, ha.

i still blame hip-hop.

Rios seems washed though so not sure if the trip would be worth it lol

Is the Home Depot Center as fun a venue as it looks?

I probably wouldn't fly to see 3 either, but since I can drive to it, I'm definitely going.

i still blame hip-hop.

there is literally not a bad seat in the house, so you get decent-good seats for $25. crowd is always live too, sometimes a lil rough (theres been at least 1 fight in the stands every event i've been to) but that just adds to the atmosphere imo

I imagine the Alvarado-Rios crowd might be a little rougher, but that could be me being racist.

Those guys are just so brutal together though, I can't imagine passionate fans of either are going to be much less brutal.

i still blame hip-hop.

should be a good time.

i still blame hip-hop.

i think the only thing confirmed is the main event, but it's a Top Rank card in Denver so I'm sure the main undercard will feature a washed up Hispanic fighter.

last time it was Baby Bull.

guaranteed to be another fun war.

How is the support for "Mile High" out there when he fights?

of Alvarado.

I would think that the crowd will be a little more mixed in support with Rios.

I was really impressed with the crowd last time. I remember telling my girl "win or lose, with a crowd like this, Alvarado might be able to have another big fight here. Maybe even Rios again."

Sure enough.

that type of organic (sometimes unpredictable) fan support for a fighter.

It's def happening in Omaha right w/ Terrence Crawford. happened w/ Broner
a bit in Ohio -- obviously happened w/ Pavlik in Youngstown (though there
was never a fight staged there).

Ward was doing some really good numbers in the Oakland area.

It'd be dope to really see cities get behind their guys more. In Europe,
1/4th of the country of Germany comes out or tunes into a Klitschko fight.
Kessler and Calzaghe fought in 30,000+ stadium in Cardiff, Wales - and it
was replete w/ passionate, regional fans.

Obviously you go to Puerto Rico, Moscow, or Mexico - you're going to see
thousands to show up as if they are rooting for a franchised team.

Not so much of that in America, though - but there's absolutely an appetite
for dynamic boxers in the American sports fan's palette - it just needs to
be developed and properly marketed.

I'm seeing some great potentiality in DC right now - and I'm bout to move on it.

not that i'm going, just curious about the fight. at 147 Rios KOs Mile High Mike.

i'm really not sure. i would guess 147 but that's just me guessing.
