Sylvester Stallone premiered 'Rocky Balboa' in Vegas this week, which has left us, like the rest of the country, with a case of boxing fever. Oh come on, you know you've been walking around humming 'Eye of the Tiger' and beating your meat all week. (The steaks in your freezer!!!) Now, there is even more exciting boxing news, as it was announced yesterday that MGM Grand will hold the fight that is expected to generate the largest live gate in Nevada history: Floyd Mayweather Jr. (above) vs. Oscar De La Hoya. Of course, it won't be hard to generate the largest gate with ringside seats going for $2,000 and other tickets priced at $1,500, $1,000, $750 and, the "cheap seats" costing $350. Regardless of the price, however, this is a highly-anticipated fight and it's only fitting that it's going to take place in Vegas.
