Holyfield-Belfort Ticket Alert

After last week’s sudden main event change AND venue change, things finally look sorted out for Triller’s “Legends II” pay-per-view on Saturday.

As previously reported, former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield has stepped in for COVID-stricken Oscar De La Hoya against UFC favorite Vitor Belfort. In addition, the event has moved from Staples Center in Los Angeles to the Hard Rock LIVE at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Tickets start at $81 and will go up to $506 and the Hard Rock Live venue will be scaled back to only take a relatively small crowd. The PPV price is $49.99.

In addition to Holyfield-Belfort, the event features a boxing match between UFC favorites Anderson Silva and Tito Ortiz, former heavyweight champion David Haye against celebrity boxer Joe Fournier, and a super featherweight ten-rounder between Andy ‘El Tiburon’ Vences (23-2-1, 12 KOs) and Jono ‘King Kong’ Carroll (19-2-1, 5 KOs).

Media events will start on Wednesday, with the final press conference on Thursday and weigh-ins on Friday.

  • People will pay upto $256 to watch this?
    Therein lies the problem with boxing, if enough people pay for shit, you can guarantee there’s plenty of other people who’ll make a lot more to sell you.

    • So true Jim Bob…….

      A 58 YEAR OLD MAN
      Who wants to see that. If Evander is seriously hurt will people satisfied?

      Oscar v Vitor was apparently a ‘real fight’ please tell me this is a genuine exhibition.

    • Put Holy into the cage with Belofort with small glove and he’ll be ko’d by a high kick in 5 seconds.

      • Thanks for stating the obvious. Boxers don’t go in the cage because there is no money there. Why do you think so many MMA guys box?

        • I am no fan of MMA ,but several boxers have gone in the cage and none have been succesfull: Frans Botha, James Toney, Shannon Briggs, just to name a few. None can hang with the jits.

          • Claressa Shields just won, so has Amanda Serrano. The boxers you referenced were not in their primes when they went in the cage. A prime Mike Tyson may have killed someone with them small gloves on, all it takes is one.

      • Yeah, great, 58, almost 59 year old gets KOd 44 year old.
        Is that what we all want to see? Insane.

    • “Tickets start at $81 and will go up to $506….. ”
      – Looks like they doubled the top-end ticket price when you weren’t looking 🙂

      • Yeah I see that… Haha, crazy, I just don’t get it, who chooses to spend $500+ to see such a sham?
        There must be better ways of spending that kind of money.

    • If the other old timers are getting a piece of the pie why not Holyfield? If he’s “broke” then so must Tyson, Roy Jones, JCC, Duran, MAB and all of the other legends who are getting back in the ring.

  • I am sure the Firestick owners are giggling at this PPV for $49. Firestick makes it free!

  • I admit, I was curious about the DeLaHoya fight; curious enought to check on Fightnews after the fight to read how he did, maybe even check YouTube afterwords. Now with Holyfield, I may read the article the next day. Mainly to see if he’s still alive

  • This whole card with the exception of Tito and Silva is a circus. I say Tito and Silva because it seems interesting, not other than that not true boxer vs boxer. It’s boxer vs celebrity.

  • Belfort should be tested for drugs before this fight-He is obviously juiced and that is not fair!!

  • From DLH to Holyfield ?! WTF !! Did i miss something there are plenty of weight classes between them..
