So, it happened like they said it would, but Marquez gave his all, and that’s why people love him. This fight was electric, though, with Mayweather desperate to avoid Marquez’s lethal blows by keeping his left shoulder raised and indeed rapidly withdrawing from the fray when Marquez looked to be weighing up a big one. That said, Floyd was amazing, as ever. He stood before the Mexican with his arms down throughout the fight, mocked him with funny faces, and basically ground his down with some serious left hooks and relentless jabs that were both persistent and powerful. The following weekend saw Latino hero Chris Arreola take on Vitali Klitschko, with Arreola’s corner throwing in the towel, against the wishes of Arreola. Klitschko tickets have always sold well, for both of the Klitschko brothers, and this one was a telling rampage from the Ukrainian powerhouse.
Next up is the most-awaited of the year, the Cotto v. Pacquiao fight that threatens to blow all the rest away in 2009. Pacquiao must already have set his sights on a Mayweather date, but Cotto will be looking to stop him and be in the frame himself. Cotto Pacquiao is the one they’re all waiting for now, so make sure you have your Cotto Pacquiao tickets in hand in time. We did a recent comparison on here between Mayweather-Marquez tickets and Cotto-Pacquiao tickets and it was determined that the Cotto fight sold out right away, in comparison to the Mayweather fight, which didn’t sell quite as swiftly. The fact is, Cotto and Pacquiao both sell tickets in huge numbers, and when these two face each other there is gonna be hell to pay. Both fighters are ready and so is the crowd. There is little chance of finding a Pacquioao ticket today, unless you are lucky enough to stumble onto the site we know and trust. Check out what we have left – it isn’t much! – and make a date with boxing destiny. Cotto Pacquiao is the fight of 2009 and you can be there in the flesh! Can you seriously resist, if you really are a boxing fan?
