Hope this isn't a fata: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/story/2007/...d-calgary.html
Would anyone pay to see him fight in Calgary? He's washed up, no doubt about it. But a rare opportunity to watch one of the greats fight in Canada.

Not to often you get a guy that is that well known in the boxing community come to Calgary but no I will not fork over any money to see this guy. He's been finshed for a while now and this is just a sad plea to try and make more $$$

I'd fork over the money, but no more than $60.

Wow...I'd go see that.

If it had a solid undercard, with some up-and-coming Canadians, I would go. Troy Ross of Brampton just won the Commonwealth title yet nobody knows who he is. Bringing Holyfield to Calgary could be a great chance to showcase some good young Canadian fighters on the undercard, getting them the exposure they need.

hmmm, now that's interesting stuff. i'm curious to see the interest that this kind of fight would drum up in the city.

I would fork over the cash for sure. He's past his prime but this is a four time world champion. "The Real Deal" Holyfield. This would probably be tons of fun.

I would pay anything less then $100 for a ticket....definatley would be interested in seeing Evander.

Holyfield vs. Tommy Gunn.. $50 max.
