Interest in a trilogy fight between UFC Hall of Famers Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz has driven strong ticket sales for Golden Boy Promotions’ MMA debut, with Oscar De La Hoya estimating The Forum in Inglewood, Calif., being 70 percent sold. “The price points are perfect for this type of fight, and fans are coming out and supporting it,” De La Hoya on Monday told MMAjunkie. “Everywhere I go, they don’t talk to me about the boxing cards I’m putting on. They talk about Canelo or Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz.” De La Hoya, a retired boxing champion turned promoter, expects the Nov. 24 fight card to be a sellout when walk-ups are included. He also anticipates a strong pay-per-view showing on Fite TV, which he said will benefit the headliners’ bottom lines from the first buy, and the event to be profitable overall.
