Oscar De La Hoya vs. Julio Cesar Chavez Signed Ticket Display From MGM Executive’s Collection

To some Dennis Finfrock was simply the man with the handlebar mustache. But Finfrock helped take boxing in Las Vegas to the next level. As the MGM Grand’s VP of Special Events, Finfrock managed what boxing matches would come to the MGM and also brought in the Rolling Stones, Barbra Streisand and countless other show stoppers to the area. After Mike Tyson was released from jail, it was Finfrock who inked him to a $20 million dollar deal which secured Iron Mike’s services at the MGM Grand.
In 1995 the Las Vegas Sun ranked the top 10 Las Vegas sports figures, Finfrock was the runaway choice at No. 1. He was placed above such notables as Bob Arum and Andre Agassi. Now battling Parkinson’s Disease, Finfrock has slowed down from his workaholic ways.
Each of the signatures or match-used mementos was obtained by Finfrock during his days working at the MGM Grand Garden. AMI is proud to present personal treasures from Finfrock’s collection. These have never been offered for public sale until now.

When Julio Cesar Chavez and Oscar De La Hoya tangled for the belt it was the changing of the guard. De La Hoya, the underdog, downed Chavez in a classic battle. This framed display (28" x 33 3/4") honors the fight. Included in the display is a fight poster, signed De La Hoya 8×10, Chavez signed Kayo card, fight ticket and post-fight reception ticket. The black felt tip pennings rate ("9-10") in strength.
