Boxing will debut at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Oct. 20, and the press is on to spread the word about the show, which is topped, nominally, by a Danny Garcia-Erik Morales rematch, but in reality, by the New Yorkers who are fighting on the card, and the building in which the fights will be fought. Golden Boy Promotions, the entity headed by Oscar De La Hoya, is promoting the card at the 675,000-square-foot venue. Golden Boy gathered up Brooklyners Paul Malignaggi (who fights Pablo Cano in the first defense of his WBA welterweight title) and Danny Jacobs -- in his first fight back after beating back cancer, and a tumor which wrapped itself around his spine -- and had them work out at Gleason's Gym on Tuesday.
