Looks like MSG will be SOLD-OUT for KLITSCHKO-IBRAGIMOV

[BrooklynBomber]

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

Actually, no.

I been to the promotion of the fight and I been to the event where they were picking the girls(for ringcard girl duty) and barely anyone knew who is IBragimov.

Some people even thought that he was gonna fight Maskaev

You also forgot about Dimitry Salita, the popular NY-based ***ish boxer they also put on the undercard recently. He also regularly sells out the small NY fight venues.

Salita is not going to be on this card, he's fighting next week.

I live in NY, and have yet to find someone who knows Sultan- let alone wants him to win.

right. But peter quillen is on the card and he has a semi-small fanbase. Hes a good prospect.

And Jonothon Banks is also on the card who looks like a real good cruiserweight prospect

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) and you definitely have the makings of a sellout.

Duddy easily sells out the MSG Theatre for his fights, thats a few thousand. Does anybody know the televised undercard for this fight?

[Scott9945]

DEFINETLY. or they make the trip from Russia. At the brock fight at MSG it was a HUGE russian crowd.

As far as HBO goes, the televised undercard for the main event is the replay of Pavlik-Taylor.

[MikeBrew328]

That's reasonable. I wanted to see the Duddy fight until I saw who he was fighting. (another bum) I remember a few months back I saw Duddy fight against basically a 17 year old kid in Ireland. He needs to step up the competition.

[Hitman932]

mean joe greene is on the card also, im sure he adds a thousand people or so

[The Hammer]

No, I think they're mostly coming to see Wlad vs. Sultan. The other fights are just the dessert...

I think that's his fanbase total.
