This Saturday night, HBO Pay-Per-View will televise a battle between two former world champions when Golden Boy Promotions brings us Marcos Maidana vs. Erik Morales at the MGM Grand in glamorous Las Vegas.Just one day prior, the Bell Centre in Montreal will play host to prospect David Lemieux’s bout against Marco Antonio Rubio on ESPN2’s “Friday Night Fights” under the GYM promotional banner with a lower budget.
Despite the first show having all the bells and whistles associated with a premium cable telecast, many industry insiders will argue that the second one will be more successful at the gate.
“In Quebec, we’ve been doing the right thing,” said GYM founder Yvon Michel. “I was saying to someone from America the other day that we’ll have 10,000 people in the stands but we’ll know 8,000 by their first names. We’ve been working hard to develop a fan base for our fighters.”
