Here’s an email that is circulating and was sent to me earlier:
My name is Catherine with AEG and the Staples Center and I just wanted to introduce myself as your personal sales
representative. I cover all events here at LA Live and the Home Depot
Center so if you ever are interested in attending a concert, award show,
etc I am the person to go to. I also saw that you had attended a
boxing match in the past and I want to keep you in the loop about 2
upcoming boxing events we have going on at L.A. Live. These events are:
Saturday, October 15th- Bernard Hopkins vs. Chad Dawson at the Staples Center
Thursday, October 27th- Fight Night Club (fighters are yet to be determined) at Club Nokia
I have attached a recently updated flyer for the Hopkins match as we have just drastically reduced the price for some of the 100 level seats.
These are definitely the best deal we have to offer for the Hopkins
fight and if you get a group of 10 or more together the savings are even
greater. Also, if you know of anyone else who might be interested in
either of these events please feel free to pass along my information.
Just let me know if you want to talk about the best seats we have available and you can reach me on my direct line which is 213-763-7923 or you can email me at cwong@aegworldwide.com"
Thanks and I look forward to
hearing from you!
Have a great day,
Catherine
Make no doubt about it, this fight card (where six of the eight of
the pay-per-view performers are from the east coast) ever belonged in
Los Angeles or the West Coast in general. The question is, will this
even come close to looking like a Sparks game?
- The big news is the departure of ’the Czar’ of Showtime boxing,
Ken Hershman to Showtime to HBO. I’ll have a full column with my
thoughts on Sunday night.
