Could this be it? Could this be the last time Fernando Guerrero will be fighting in his home town, Salisbury, Maryland.
On April 16, 2010, Showtime Boxing will come to the Wicomico Youth & Civic Center where Fernando Guerrero will be the Main Event. As his career progresses, the undefeated fighter will have no choice but to bring future fights to Madison Square Garden, Las Vegas, Atlantic City and the likes.
With tickets selling as low as $15.00 a piece here in Salisbury and former $75.00 seats now selling for $40.00 each, this could be the last time we get to see Fernando continue his undefeated winning streak.
Tickets go on sale March, 15th and we need to send Fernando off with a BANG! The last time SHOWTIME Boxing came to Salisbury, the world got to see what announcers claimed was the biggest crowd they had ever seen. The noise from the fans truly made it difficult to hear what was going on and quite frankly I wondered how they could announce the fight on SHOWTIME over the noise of the crowd.
Now here's the kicker. Fernando, (as well as most of the other fighters on the card) do not have opponents yet. However, SHOWTIME will not allow just anybody to step into the ring as this will be a Pay Per View Fight and they have to bring in the revenue. This means they will have someone come forward who will more than likely be Fernando's biggest career challenge to date.
We, (as a community) need to come together and support this fight like none other. If we want to see world class fights here in Salisbury, we need to prove to SHOWTIME and HBO that we're willing to support these events.
Fernando and Alex Guerrero have proven time and time again, Salisbury is and always will be their Home Town. They have given back to this community, whether it be shoveling snow throughout their neighborhood for those who could not to attending local Schools to encourage education and fulfilling dreams.
Please show your support and let's send Fernando and the Boxing World a clear message, we support those who support us. Fernando is now 17-0 with 14 knock outs.
By the way, don't miss our 6:00 PM Nightly News Broadcast tonight. I think you'll enjoy this interview.
