BLOCKBUSTER SEPTEMBER 15 QUADRUPLE-HEADER FEATURING CANELO ALVAREZ VS. JOSESITO LOPEZ FROM THE MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA TO BE TELEVISED LIVE ON SHOWTIME IS SOLD OUT

LAS VEGAS (September 14, 2012) -- Tickets are sold out for this Saturday's "Knockout Kings" featuring Canelo Alvarez defending his WBC Super Welterweight World Championship against breakout star Josesito Lopez, WBC Featherweight World Champion Jhonny Gonzalez defending his crown against former World Champion Daniel Ponce De Leon, former World Champion Marcos Maidana facing Jesus Soto Karass in a 12-round fight for the vacant WBA Intercontinental Welterweight Title and Leo Santa Cruz defending his IBF Bantamweight World Championship against former two-time World Champion Eric Morel.



Nearly 14,500 fans will pack the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas for the quadruple-header presented by Golden Boy Promotions and Canelo Promotions in association with Goossen Tutor Promotions and Thompson Boxing Promotions and sponsored by Corona, DeWalt Tools, AT&T and O'Reilly Auto Parts.



The four fights will be televised live on SHOWTIME Saturday, Sept. 15 at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT with preliminary fights to air live on SHOWTIME EXTREME? at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.



"We are extremely proud of our efforts to showcase the superstar talents of Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez on Mexican Independence Day weekend and the fans have responded by making it a sellout," said Chief Executive Officer of Golden Boy Promotions Richard Schaefer. "This quadruple-header is just another example of Golden Boy Promotions' efforts to bring the best and most exciting shows to our dedicated and loyal boxing audience. It is going to be a loud and raucous crowd in the arena Saturday night and one of these "Knockout Kings" might receive a $100,000 bonus for their performance too. I guarantee you it will be an electrifying night."
