ADDITIONAL TICKETS OPEN FOR "ONCE AND FOR ALL: HOPKINS VS. DAWSON" AS DEMAND FROM FANS CONTINUES TO BUILD
PhilBoxing.com Thu, 19 Apr 2012

Atlantic City (April 18)...Due to astronomical demand for tickets for "Once and For All: Hopkins vs. Dawson" at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, nearly 1,300 additional tickets have opened for sale so more fans can experience the intense rivalry between Bernard Hopkins and Chad Dawson in person and see Seth Mitchell and Chazz Witherspoon square off in a heavyweight battle.
Tickets, priced at $300, $200, $100, $50 and $25, are available for purchase at the Boardwalk Hall box office, by calling Ticketmaster at (800) 736-1420 or online at ticketmaster.com.
"The response for tickets to this fight has been overwhelming and I can understand why," said Richard Schaefer, CEO of Golden Boy Promotions. "Hopkins' and Dawson's deep disdain for one another is very intense and I have no doubt they will show it in the ring. Additionally, the opportunity to see two American heavyweights, who are also college graduates, face one another is rare and very exciting. We're pleased to give more fans the chance to see this extraordinary event live."
"The fact that they are opening so many extra tickets speaks volumes about the interest and excitement about this fight," said Gary Shaw, President and CEO of Gary Shaw Productions. "I know Chad is ready and his fans will be behind him 100 percent."
