Here's the official poster for the March 24 card in Brooklyn, with a main event of Zab Judah vs Vernon Paris. The show is being promoted around Judah's return to his hometown, as it should be.
I think it's fun! It's different at least. Thanks to Boricua Boxing for the poster.
The card, which will be aired on the NBC Sports network, features the very good Judah vs Paris main event, which is a terrific crossroads fight between a guy who's running out of chances (Judah) and a guy who's good enough to take advantage of his first big chance (Paris), and will tell us a lot about both fighters.
The undercard was also set up yesterday, as Tomasz Adamek will be back in action on the card against an opponent yet to be named, and there will be another heavyweight bout between Siarhei Liakhovich and Bryant Jennings, which is another good crossroads fight.
I always have my doubts about what promoters can do with these shows when they actually get them, but so far, Main Events and Russell Peltz are doing what they can to deliver quality. Keep in mind this show has been put together on a $100,000 budget -- or 1/10th the purse Timothy Bradley made to fight Joel Casamayor in November.

Zab Judah! By Himself! In Black and White! After Chewing a Few Mushrooms!

I think your problem drrck is that you only chewed the mushrooms… Just by looking at this poster I’ve already looked into the future and seen the winners…. Adamek will fight Tony Thompson…

Looking at this poster, what I hear in my head is the My Brother and Me theme song:

Or maybe season 7 Cosby Show theme.

I noticed the “RetroJunk.com” logo.

As fight posters go, I like this one, but it’s kind of like Vernan Paris doesn’t exist.
BoxAnne - February 15, 2012
No one knows him and he’s not ME’s fighter. I totally get promoting this around Zab’s homecoming.
I get the feeling people will know Paris after the fight, too.

I would like to get another look at Judah’s head.
DrRck - February 15, 2012
If Paris had the same machine behind him tht Broner does....

He’d have 2 people ready to give him combs…
Chris Sarda - February 16, 2012
Agreed
I think Paris is going to dominate Zab, in fact, another stoppage might be in Judah’s future. Personality wise, and with the swagger he brings to the ring, Paris is Zab 10 years ago.

In honor of the poster
Judah should wear his trunks backwards into the fight.
Brickhaus - February 15, 2012 via mobile
No disrespect to Judah, but this really made me laugh.
DrRck - February 15, 2012
I love it
Manuwar - February 16, 2012
Zab Judah will make you jump…
Chris Sarda - February 16, 2012
Wow, this is a really impressive show for something that’s along the lines of FNF… Better enjoy it while it lasts

Carpe diem. “Ain’t we got fun?”

Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s 1994.

Scott, when you say the show has been put together on $100k, I assume you include purses in that?
If so, thats outstanding. Such a solid card for little outlay.
