Ch?vez Jr. vs. Mart?nez To Become Thomas & Mack Center?s Highest-Attended Boxing Event LAS VEGAS, NEV. (September 11, 2012) ? This week?s M?xican Independence Day weekend World Middleweight Championship event between undefeated World Boxing Council (WBC) middleweight champion and Son of the Legend, JULIO C?SAR CH?VEZ JR. (46-0-1, 32 KOs), of Culiac?n, M?xico, and two-division world champion and pound for pound kingpin with the matinee idol looks, SERGIO "Maravilla" MART?NEZ (49-2-2, 28 KOs), of Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina, sold its last remaining tickets today at 1:58 p.m. PT. Ch?vez Jr. vs. Mart?nez will become the highest-attended boxing event in the history of the Thomas & Mack Center with 19,186 seats, eclipsing the Lennox Lewis vs. Evander Holyfield heavyweight championship rematch, which previously held the record with 19,151. ?Viva Ch?vez and Mart?nez,? said Hall of Fame promoter Bob Arum. ?The last two tickets were purchased just before 2 p.m. PT and our sellout has produced a paid gate of over $3 million. How appropriate that on the eve of the 20th anniversary of Julio C?sar Ch?vez vs. Hector Camacho, the Thomas & Mack?s fourth highest-attended event [17,972], which took place on September 12, 1992, that Julio C?sar Ch?vez, Jr. surpass his father?s record in an epic fight of his own. Father and son will be forever linked as two of the highest-attended paid boxing events in the building?s history. Naturally, the live pay-per-view telecast will be available to all cable and satellite TV systems in the Las Vegas area.? ?This is a celebration about everything that is great about boxing,? said promoter Lou DiBella. ?This is obviously a fight that everyone wanted to see and thanks to Sergio and Julio everyone will have the opportunity to see -- live on pay-per-view.
