Man, let me tell you about this whole Teofimo Lopez vs. Jamaine Ortiz fight. I decided I wanted to go see it live in Vegas, you know? So, the first thing I did was start looking for tickets.
I jumped on the internet and started poking around. First places I checked were those big-name ticket sites, like * and TickPick. I figured they’d have the scoop on when tickets would go on sale. Found out they were dropping on January 5th, so I marked that on my calendar.
When the day came, I was ready. I went straight to * and tried to snag some tickets. It was a bit of a scramble, ngl, but I managed to get a couple.
After I had the tickets sorted, I started looking into how else I could watch the fight, just in case. Turns out, ESPN+ was streaming it live. Good to know for future reference, I guess. They wanted like $10.99 for a monthly subscription.
Then I started digging into the details of the fight itself. It was set for February 8th in Las Vegas, at the Michelob Ultra Arena at Mandalay Bay. From what I gathered, the whole thing was going to kick off around 10:30 PM Eastern Time, which is 7:30 PM on the West Coast. And these two, Lopez and Ortiz, weren’t supposed to actually start fighting until around midnight Eastern, or 9 PM Pacific.
- Checked * and TickPick for ticket sales.
- Marked January 5th on the calendar for the ticket release.
- Successfully bought tickets on *.
- Discovered that ESPN+ was streaming the fight for $10.99/month.
- Found out the fight details: February 8th at Michelob Ultra Arena, starting around 10:30 PM ET, with the main event around midnight ET.
The fight itself was kind of a letdown, to be honest. Not a ton of action, and the crowd was booing a lot. Ended up being a unanimous decision for Lopez, but it felt kind of controversial. I saw that he was outlanded 80 to 78, according to some site called CompuBox.
Anyway, that’s the story of how I got tickets to see Teofimo Lopez vs. Jamaine Ortiz. It was a whole process, but hey, at least I can say I was there, right?
