Joe Calzaghe vs Roy Jones Jnr breaks ticket sales record

I'm going to guess between 720k and 740k. The rest of you guys pick some numbers, let's see who's closest. 500 points each in the pot, winner takes all? Just so it's interesting, and fair....first come first serve, 20k spread, pick your high and low (and don't leave 1 point between spreads, you buttheads).

that sentence is pretty dumb when you know he never did more ppv sells than that....fuck, winky-trinidad did more than rjj-trinidad.... How much did Winky-Tito sell?

100000000000000 PPV buys. Okay but seriously, if RJJ can do 610K with Ruiz... that sentence is pretty dumb when you know he never did more ppv sells than that....fuck, winky-trinidad did more than rjj-trinidad....

Roy has never sold that many tickets because people always knew who would win. I would say 4-500k.

last night on a certain talk show they were questioning arum coming out with this fight breaking ticket sale record for MSG. somethings not right! a good way to promote ticket sales? Arum = not involved with this fight

I was going to attend this one myself, but the tickets are unforgivably high priced. I will have to go with Sopcast ONE MO' TIME! Only problem is that everyone will probably be using it and it will refresh every 3 seconds. LOL me too. They sent me an email with the code for the presale. But the lowest price ticket is 150.......thats just BS for a meaningless lopsided matchup like that. Ill sopcast it.

I typoed, it was supposed to read "Jones", not Joe. Old, tired and sleepless will do that too ya. Please don't think I'm an idiot, I don't think I could stand it ;) hahha its ok, i always do it

joe is one of the biggest PPV names ever? joe has never fought a PPV lol but yeahh if roy could get over 500k with tito, then im sure Calz and RJ can dish out around 700k I typoed, it was supposed to read "Jones", not Joe.

Am surprised the brits actually fly all the way to new york, they must save some hard cash or be rolling high

It's the casual fans who are the big buyers. The ones that don't know when a fighter is washed up, that think if they're still fighting, they're still prime. They're the ones that buy Tyson's fights, Oscar's, etc. And Joe is one of the biggest PPV names ever, so he'll drag ALL those guys, plus every swinging pecker in Wales, most of England, and then alot of the guys like us, who are devout fans of the sport and hope to see something dramatic, even though we know the odds are against us. Over a million buys wouldn't really surprise me. joe is one of the biggest PPV names ever? joe has never fought a PPV lol but yeahh if roy could get over 500k with tito, then im sure Calz and RJ can dish out around 700k

No1 came over to see Hopkins because he's a boring cunt. All the brits are coming because Jones is a legend too and it's Joe's last fight.

exactly the point i was gonna make! i really dont see this matchup at this point of Jones career to be a huge deal fighting against Calzaghe but if it helps the sports of boxing in promotion and interest then im glad this fight is happening!

IMPORTANT QUESTION: Has anybody bought a $150.00 seat yet??!?!?!?!?!?! Cause i tried to buy mine but i cant. are they sold out or are they not yet on sale??!!??!! 150 for a bleacher seat is rediculous probably sold out... if it broke the record they must have

100000000000000 PPV buys. Okay but seriously, if RJJ can do 610K with Ruiz... RJJ did 610k with Ruiz? i thought it was a flop, because roy never attended the press conferences and media workouts... didnt find out the PPV stats though

Yeah, i think it will be a great fightt... 12 rounds of boxing most likely
