Odds EUROPE 2-2 vs. USA WEST 4-0

Tickets to Earls Court for this clash between EUROPE and USA WEST fighters was extremely hard to come by. All 18,000 seats sold out immediately upon availablity. Unconfirmed rumors are that ringside seats are being scalped for $50-75,000!!! A full of day of outstanding matchups kicks off at 12:00 noon and will continue late into the night. Pay per view sales in Europe and America are very high for the evening fights. The afternoon fights are being shown on CBS.
