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

Like him or not 70000 tickets in 24 hrs…. Wilder & Fury can only dream of selling that…

If tickets are 30$ they’d sell just as fast. It’s literally two different audiences. Sell a 70k stadium out in 24 hours at 5k per ticket…it’s not going to happen…won’t happen in the US or UK. 10-15k location at 5k overhead sells…totally different deliveries

Canelo is the biggest name universally than AJ by a mile. HW? Yes….biggest name in boxing by a mile? Nope that belongs to Canelo hands down

No. In the US and North America, it’s Canelo.

Globally, it’s Josh and it’s not even close.

Stop lying, the cheapest tickets were sold for £60.

And there were different types of tickets including the ones that were sold for £2000.

And Fury vs Wilder 2 had tickets that were $400. And Fury vs Wilder 3 have $500 tickets.

It’s a stadium fight - you can’t ask people to pay £400 in a stadium.

I won't speak for the poster, but it's not sour g****s to have a healthy skepticism regarding information.

King of Gilgamesh presented some very cogent reasons regarding why this stat sounds off... frankly I don't know anything about how tickets are sold but I'm listening to this debate and some things make sense, some do not.

it's not healthy at all because AJ has BEEN selling out soccer stadiums. Now all of a sudden he's faking it? Just because Fury faked Covid, doesn't mean all the rest of the heavyweights are fake too. some actually try to fight the best out there which is why the stadium is full of fans. Fight bums, no one shows up. Fight the best, the stands are packed. Very simple concept.

You will not in the US find two champions that are draws fighting one another in Vegas for 4 and 500 dollars. Won’t happen, not going to happen. A 60k capacity stadium in OVERWHELMING NUMBERS are cheap seats period end of story. That is why gates in Vegas are much larger than the UK because while they have far smaller capacity tickets are much more expensive.

now tell me I am lying.

I get it but still 70000 tickets in 24 hours is impressive. If tickets were $30 in US i still don’t think Wilder/Fury sells out a 70000 person stadium. I like all 3 of them so it isn’t a wilder vs Joshua thing to me. Just my opinion…

Really? So Canelo’s net worth is almost double that of AJ because AJ is that “global brand” doncha know?

[Motofan]

That’s great news! It’s a quality fight and the Brits love them some AJ. Always happy to see fans support the sport.

No no you get me wrong absolutely it’s impressive. However not off the scale. Stage a Canelo fight in Mexico at same prices tickets gone in 24 hours no question. Hometown stars always sell.

Man, a lot of you guys hate AJ so much that you go to creative lengths to tear down anything he has done. Yet you praise Fury or Wilder who are both frauds. Go figure. you guys are now arguing over ticket prices instead of giving props to a guy who consistently sells out stadiums while fighting good competition. And you are actually arguing FOR the fights here in the US that are overpriced PPV mismatches.
