Holyfield-Botha Headlines ?The Legend Returns? PPV PhilBoxing.com Tue, 30 Mar 2010  April 10 at Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas LAS VEGAS (Mar. 18, 2010) ? Living legend and 5-time world heavyweight champion, Evander ?The Real Deal? Holyfield, challenges World Boxing Federation heavyweight title-holder Frans ?The White Buffalo? Botha in the 12-round main event April 10, headlining ?The Legend Returns? pay-per-view event, at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas. ?The Legend Returns,? presented by Crown Boxing, is being distributed in the United States and Canada by Integrated Sports Media for live viewing at 9 PM/ET ? 6 PM/PT on both cable and satellite pay-per-view via iN Demand, DIRECTV, Viewer?s Choice and Bell TV, for a suggested retail price of only $29.95. The 47-year-old Holyfield (42-10-2, 27 KOs), fighting out of Atlanta, is coming off of a controversial 12-round majority decision loss December 20, 2008 to then World Boxing Association champion Nicolai Valuev, in which most observers felt Holyfield deserved the victory in Switzerland. South African strongman Botha?s (47-4-3, 28 KOs) four losses during his 20-year pro career have all been to world champions ? Mike Tyson, Michael Moorer, Lennox Lewis and Wladimir Klitschko. ?We?re excited to have Hall of Fame-bound Evander Holyfield fighting Frans Botha on our pay-per-view card,? Crown Boxing?s Frank Luca said. ?Evander certainly showed he has a lot left in his disputed loss to Valuev. Crown Boxing has been promoting solid shows six times a year in Las Vegas. Fans have come to expect competitive, entertaining fights at affordably priced Crown Boxing shows held in an intimate atmosphere. Like in MMA, every fight counts on a Crown Boxing show. Those are our trademarks and the tradition continues April 10th but on a much larger stage. The only real differences, though, are Holyfield-Botha features a pair of worldwide name recognized fighters and it?s being held in a scaled-down 9,500 seat Thomas & Mack Center. Everybody will have a great seat for an affordable price. We?ve kept ticket prices down so people can afford to watch Holyfield fight, up close and personal, in Las Vegas for the first time in 11 years. What we?re charging viewers is much less than for most pay-per-view shows. We?re putting together strong supporting fights, too, showcasing talented boxers in order to provide fans in attendance or watching on pay per view with a great night of boxing.? Tickets, priced at $25.00, $75.00, $150.00 and $250.00, are available to purchase at www.UNLVtickets.com or by calling 702.739.3267.
