New York City – In almost every big city in America, fighting all three times that will be presented on May 2 in New York Times, it may be a stand -up activity in their rights, Ryan Garcia and Rolando Romero, Devin Haney and Jose Ramirez and Teoffimo Lopeezz. It is a matching set that you often see in the Madison Square Garden or Barclays Center of Brooklyn, but those fights will be part of the first card that will occur in the most bustling intersection in the United States, making a professional boxing on public stage.
With about 300,000 to 400,000 through the central area of Manhattan every day. This event is too high to be recorded for the largest crowd that used to be a witness in the boxing competition – 135,132 people who come back to watch the Middleweight championship.
Oscar de la Hoya, one of the supporters who take care of the logistics for this event, along with the boxing magazine and Matchroom, said that he expects “half a million” to join the card.
“I think New York has dealt with the big activity – Times Square One, the New Year’s Eve of millions,” said Delahi CEO of the Golden Boy promotion.
Eddie Hearn, President of Matchroom, acknowledged that the business is a “great challenge”, but he is cramped about the incident and even where the ring will be placed in the Time Square area.
“You will see,” said Herre. “What you see will make your mind blow into Time Square.”
There are still many unknown cards, such as ways that fans can access fighting or what will happen in the case of rain or security methods will be managed for events that can attract hundreds of thousands of observers. Part of the reason for the question that has not yet been answered is limited media that are limited to the employer, including the supporters and most of the time. The creator of the content that holds a camera that is looking for a hot fighter who is not involved in the incident, asking questions about Gervonta Davis.
Doug Fisher, the editor of the Ring magazine and the host of the press conference, has all the correct questions in the heart. But no answer He said that it will be revealed at the time.
“It has a vision and some people say it’s crazy because they start to think of its transportation,” Fisher said. – Times Square – Will they create a ring there? ” Will they blocking things? ‘ It will happen. “
In addition, Fisher also said that Riyadh’s season is planning outside of other frameworks this year in “Fantasy Tourist attractions” in the United States, including “historical monument”.
De La Hoya, when asked how the sponsors were able to close the traffic to support many crowds, laughing while he said, “Must spend a lot of money.”
Turki Alalshikh, the owner of the new Ring magazine and the president of Saudi Gneral Entertainment Authority (GEA) of Saudi Arabia, is the driving force behind the boxing cards of Riyad.
He revealed at the beginning of the month in the video of the Youtube channel of Ring magazine with only 100-300 seats-reserved for guests-will be available.
“It will be amazing.” Alshikh, who reminisced about the event in various places such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris Colosseum in Rome and the Mexico Pyramid.
De La Hoya shows concerns about outdoor activities, especially in May, about one -third of the day, often there is rain in New York City. “One thing about us, we tend to wonder in the outdoor activities because you never know – The weather is weathering,” Delahi said.
Although this is the greatest sport activity that will occur in Time Square. But not the first time The area organized a basketball tournament, such as in 2023, when the five stadiums were built between the 46 and 48 roads for amateur sports competitions (AAU) 3-ON-3, it would not be the first time that the boxing will be broadcast in Time Square, because EPIX promotes short attacks in the sport on the screen, such as Carl Froch VS LUCI. And Wladimir Klitschko vs Mariusz
The bet will be high for the card because the plan for now. For Garcia and Hanie, they should beat their opponents to meet in the competition in October of the conflicting battle in April.
The winner of that competition may be in line for Lopez, which holds the name WBO JUNIOR WELTERWEIGHT.
“If there is one thing that the printing has taught me in boxing, there is no long -term plan,” said Fisher.
Perhaps more specific information at the second press conference for Times Square activity, which is scheduled for March 10 in Los Angeles.
