Bad Left Hook Partners With TiqIQ to Bring You Big Event Boxing Tickets

You might have noticed a new widget on our right sidebar from TiqIQ, and I wanted to take a moment to explain why it's there and what good it can do for you.

TiqIQ is a tool that scans ticket retailers like StubHub, eBay, TicketsNow, etc., and helps you find the best price on the secondary ticket market. Those of you who have tried probably know very well that it's not easy to land a ticket to a big fight like Pacquiao vs Marquez in November or Mayweather vs Ortiz in September, or UFC events if you're also a UFC fan, and hopefully those interested will find this useful. TiqIQ can help you decide whether or not a price on the secondary market is a good or bad deal with a simple, color-coded system.

The other upside for you loyal BLH readers is that if you do buy a ticket this way, I get a little change in my pocket and pay those nasty cable bills a bit easier.

If you have a philosophical disagreement with the entire secondary ticket market, that's OK, don't use it or feel like you have to if you're ticket hunting. It's simply a tool that has worked well for a lot of people and has proven to be on the up-and-up.

Hopefully in time more fights will be available, and I hope some of you get some use out of the widget. For now, Mayweather vs Ortiz and Pacquiao vs Marquez are available, and you can look around and see if any of the prices fit your bill. If you have a complaint or a comment, feel free and I'll try to do my best to answer.

If I had to base a prediction off of that picture I’d say Floyd will win.

could’ve used this for the Alexander-Matthysse fight. nice road trip from Chicago and a decent fight but would’ve rather put money in your pockets. love this blog. keep doing great work, Scott. See your a big UM fan (currently watching Brady Hoke at the presser when i should be working) go blue.

I don’t think this will ever get old. It’s replaced That’s what she said! for comedic gold

I’m glad it caught on. It’s really not mean-spirited. It’s just the stupidest, funniest thing I think I’ve ever seen anyone say.
