BoxRec

Just saw the ticket prices for this; I have to say that is cracking value:

Provided there isn't an almighty service charge, when was the last time you could get ringside for two quality world title fights (Peterson vs Matthyse is also on the card) for roughly £160.00?

If I can get cheap flights/time off work might have to make cheeky trip to Atlantic city.

Good value isn't it. Compared to the prices of Amir Khan's fight its a steal and fights / fighters I would much rather see.

To be fair thats also probably because american fights seem to draw pretty tame attendances compared to over here! I think they have to be very competitive on their pricing to get people to come to fights!

Sponsored by a casino, venue for free, that's why it's cheap. Any event to get gamblers into Atlantic City.

Good outlet shopping, not much else to recommend it.

Yeah Atlantic City doesn't seem upto much. But I've also got family about an hour's drive away from Atlantic City that I haven't seen in years so might just be worth the trip.

Wouldnt mind it myself how much are the flights etc. Is it fly to New York & then to AC?

Fly to Newark and drive (about 2 hours), or fly to Philadelphia then a train (90 mins from main station).

£600 for flights and accommodation from Manchester to Philadelphia stopping in Ballys hotel.

Can get it cheaper if you stop in a Days Inn Motel etc
