Tried to buy $200 tickets and there are very few left, but 200 is to much for us.

There are only a few 200 dollar tickets, and a very few 600 and 1000 dollar tickets left.

MSG will more then likely be sold out for the fight. I think Duddy has a small bit to do with that because last Klitschko fight against Brock sold 13,000.

This time the place will have 17,000 (because they didnt sell the mezanine)

I'm surprised to hear that KBall. Happy, but surprised. There must be a lot of their former countrymen in the area.

This is the biggest heavyweight fight since 1999, I'm not surprised it's sold out.

These are two exciting fighters IMO - look at their KO percentages!

When I went to the Lewis-Klitschko fight ticket sales had been dismal because it was originally for Lewis-Kirk Johnson. The night of the fight there was tremendous walk up business as the large Russian community here came out in droves. It made the event a lot more memorable as early in the card the place was like a morgue.

Sultan is of course more beloved among the Russians in NY. When he fought Briggs Sultan had thousands of fans, Briggs had about fifteen total

It will be a split crowd, Sultan vs. Wlad

Duddy brings an enormous presence whenever and wherever he fights- 5,000 easily. I'm sure they've been hyping this one up in the Irish communities in Queens big time.

Couple that with the 13k Klitschko brought against Brock, and Ibragimov's fanbase (people from Dagestan, another province of Russia, who filled up the MSG Theater against Mora) and you definitely have the makings of a sellout.

Nice to see the place sold out, so the atmosphere there will likely be good and fun to watch on TV.
