Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua vs. Oleksandr Usyk Tickets Sell Out in 24 Hours

[Earl-Hickey]

Fans did not buy these tickets, bots did. Would love to be proven wrong. We will see these tickets resold by third party companies.

Even though 3rd party resellers probably did but a lot of tickets, they still were sold. I don't really see the difference, there will be a full house and may of the tickets will be purchased at more than face value so what's that tell you.

I dunno if that's even true but if it is then that just proves how well AJ sells.

Bots would not be buying up tickets and selling them for a profit if they wasn't in high demand.

It wasn't even as long as 24 hours. I was on at 7pm yesterday and they were all gone from Stubhub. Some, not many, have appeared on resale already for like 4 times the amount. SMH.

That being said, Matchroom fight pass (pre-sale) started the day before so that's what it could be referring to it taking 24 hours.

Yup! I get emails for pre-sale all the time. Usually get notified with special code or link.

Not bad! And they say boxing is dying.

Meanwhile Fury just faked Covid and the trilogy fight is a hard sell for an arena with 20k capacity. Why? Because Fury and Wilder are both frauds who have fought bums for most of their careers. Had they fought better opponents, they would see the kind of interest that AJ sees and fill up the stands. but they also would have been beaten or KOed by now had they fought better opponents so go figure. If you build it, they will come. Fury has fought only 4 opponents in the current top 50 and two of those opponents were Chisora and Hammer. Yet he has conned you all into thinking he is the best. He's not. And the lack of interest in his trilogy fight with Wilder (another fraud) shows. Maybe in stead of laying around calling people "dosser", he should be instead training and fighting regularly. Maybe he should not sit on the belt for 2 years. Maybe he shouldn't fake covid just because he is getting beat up in sparring. Maybe he should go ahead and face the anti doping agency in the UK so that he can fight over there. Then maybe, juuuust maybe, he can get people to show up to his fights like AJ does.

sour ass fight. gotta go along with this garbage for the sake of the sport

The man is a super star, as much as the salty haters don't like it it's just the way it is. He has been marketed excellently to the casual fans. And he is a very good Boxer, not amazing by any stretch but he is very good.

Marketed excellently to casual fans and not amazing?

Why aren’t the other boxers on Matchroom as big since it’s the marketing? And who’s better than him in the division?

DaDUMMYneutral the covert Wilder fan and Fury ddd1ck rider, like I always told you, you’re a transparent muppet. LMAOOO

there’s always that one guy… Boxing is a bigger deal in Europe than it is in America they always sell out bigger stadiums than the US for boxing events, come fight night those seats will be packed with people not bots.

You know what...I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I dont believe it.

I think this is an intentional puff piece meant to drum up interest in a fight casuals aren't all that hyped for.

Joshua didn't sell out the Povetkin when they hype for him was massive in 2018. And against Usyk, who no one really rates at heavyweight, they sell out in 24 hours???? With covid too??? Hmmm

Sounds like something thats being artificially inflated to make it seem like there is more interest in this fight than there actually is. I'm not yet convinced.

As said before, the key to Joshua is the feeling you're on board a hype train. I think a lot of his casual fanbase buys into the fact that he's popular, I'm not entirely sure they actually find him actually compelling. Hence why half the comments in here about Fury and Wilder lol.
