Boise not a boxing-venue contender after all



BOISE, Idaho The promoter of a big-name title fight last month in Boise says Idaho's capital city is a nice place.

Just not for Wholesale Boxing.

If Ritch Danner, vice president and director of Sports and Entertainment Media, had to do the Roy Jones Junior-Prince Badi Ajamu fight on July 29th all over again, he'd stage it in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

The Arab state had offered 500-thousand dollars.

In Boise, only about 2,000 people paid 50-dollars to 350-dollars for tickets.

Danner says he thought he could beat the Arab offer with gate receipts.

He says, "Obviously, we couldn't."

Lackluster interest could deal the knockout blow to the sport in Boise.

Danner says he won't be back _ unless he's guaranteed money.

He says "We rolled the dice with Boise. It was a bit of a gamble, and we knew that going in."
