Gary,
Actually Goss took the fight with Wilson on more like 3 hours notice, not 3 days! Wilson's original opponent went to the weigh in and then skipped town. Through some quick thinking and connections, the fight was saved at the 11th hour to the delight of the 100 plus people that paid to see Wilson fight. Goss put up a great effort as well.
more like 40 people, nothing like 100, the promoter wishes wilson could have sold 100 tickets
Wilson sold more than 40 tickets, it was at least 70 to 80, and probably was close to 100.
After reading this stuff I will set the record straight.Todd Wilson sold around eighty tickets and Henry Goss took the fight on about
three hours notice to the minute.
My thanks go out to Johnny Johnson
and Henry goss for saving that fight for me and Henry gave an outstanding account of himself that night.
So once again Johnny and Henry thanks.

See, there you go - I know what I'm talking about.
how much are tickets?
This is a charity fundraiser so the ticket prices aren't the typical Beltway Boxing price.
Individual tickets are $200.
Terrace Tables (seats 10) are $2,000
Ringside Tables (seats 10) are $2,500.
Call (410) 336-8889 if you're interested in purchasing tickets.
Hey, if it's as nice as that show at the McLean Hilton in VA, it's worth it!
That last comment had to be from one of the Lange's or from Joe Hensley
