...Ringside seats cost $3,000. (By comparison, the top ticket for the recent, much-ballyhooed fight between Oscar De la Hoya and Floyd Mayweather at the MGM casino in Las Vegas were priced at $2,000.) The Ibragimov-Holyfield fight failed to live up to its lofty price tag, however, as the champ and challenger conducted a 12-round Krokus City pantomime. It was the case of a lionhearted, but aged ex-champ conserving his strength in order to go the distance against a belt-holding opponent who has benefited greatly from boxing's fall from primacy in the West...
Lucky Condoleezza Rice. After a round of bruising meetings in Russia, the Secretary of State was rewarded with a ticket to the Middle East and a mission to convince the region's leaders to come to Maryland next month to discuss the most bedeviling issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Her daunting to-do list includes: Secure the support and participation of Israelis, Palestinians and other Arabs skeptical of the purpose of the talks; Fashion an agenda that includes substantial discussion on topics that have flummoxed legions of diplomats, and which some of the participants would prefer to gloss over...

Instead, Live Nation is pumping up its own in-house ticket distribution arm, already the third largest in the world, which gives it a direct link to the music fans attending its shows. Not to be outdone, Ticketmaster significantly increased...

...Fisher Price kitchen. The citrus lime mousse provides a nicely acidic finish to an otherwise dull meal, even though the color of the lime layer is certainly not found in nature. Perhaps Wagamama’s price problem is a function of its British roots. If a tube ticket costs four pounds, it’s no surprise the restaurant’s Web site touts the fact that “customers can still enjoy a meal and drink for under £10 [$20!] per head.” At Wagamama’s prices, hit up Spice...
