Damn son...........

No, Hearn has a backhanded deal with stubhub where they receive a massive percentage of tickets. Everyone knows it. It makes his events look like they sell out in minutes and he receives a massive backhander in payments, more than he would get from face value tickets through official sellers.

Go check how many tickets are available on that website, just minutes after they go on sale.

You're missing the point. It's not small time touts or some fans that are snapping them up to sell. Hearn is literally giving them in the thousands to big touting companies.

Doesn't it work like that in America too? Not to the same degree but brokers buy huge blocks of tickets and it's considered a sell out. By calling it a sell out it creates demand for tickets so they sell them at a higher price.

This is something that is not exactly unique to Hearn's events.

Hearn doing what he usually does, making a minority percentage of the tickets available to the public and giving the rest to Stubhub to get more money from their sky high prices.
