The show’s promoter Ed holmes/All Star Boxing encourages those in the area who can attend to try and do so.

“It’s going to be an outstanding night of boxing capped off with a main event with world ranking implications at stake for the winner. The Westin Bonaventure Hotel is an elite venue and there is not a bad seat in the house. I am very proud to say I have had many big named fighters fight on my shows early in their careers over the years. Also, my shows over the years have been attended by many famed fighters to famous people in general. You never know who you may see there. The events are very fan friendly. General admission is a fair $55 for all you get to see. I look forward to seeing you there,” said Holmes/
