About 5,500 tickets were sold in 30 minutes. Reporter Dave Skolnick of the Vindicator says more tickets were sold for the Pavlik Title defense than for any other event in the Chevrolet Centre’s three-plus-year history.

With a capacity of 7,000 there are a couple hundred tickets in the $200, $300 and $500 range left but the $50 and $100 range were gone within 30 minutes. The Chevrolet Centre is a stunning facility that seems almost as though it is more suitable for boxing than Las Vegas' MGM. It has a compact design, chic style and it's one of the most modern arenas in the entire State of Ohio. Pavlik fought at the Chevy Centre in 2006, winning with a knock out.
