Gee, I thought Showtime would have this one @ $29.95. It's been a while since they had a PPV fight but I always thought theirs were less - especially for a non-title fight.
Vargas on the mend!
Fernando Vargas' health has already improved to the point he is "chomping at the bit" to get back to full training, which will occur in about three weeks. He is set to face Ricardo Mayorga at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles on the Friday of Thanksgiving weekend, November 23. The match was rescheduled when Vargas's doctor ordered him to pull out of the original September 8 date to correct an iron deficiency. Fight fans have already purchased nearly $1 million worth of tickets to see the fight and an additional $16,000 worth of tickets were sold during the five days it took to find a new date -- a testament to the public's desire to see Vargas-Mayorga. The event will also be televised live domestically beginning at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT at a suggested retail price of $44.95 and is being distributed by SHOWTIME PPV.
