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

I know the ******ity of these people cannot see it......it’s a failing model and they still are trying to flog a dead horse and that is exactly why Joshua and sky do big numbers and the exact opposite of ppv in the states.
HBO bailed out for exactly those reasons and yet you still have arum , pbc still trying to do it....and the fighters are the ones who lose out because of poor sales and the likes of Crawford , spence , Davis are not even selling 200k in a country of over 330 million.....it’s shocking

Silly Billy , King G and boxing fanatic are all part of the crazy crew on here . These types always agree with each other and there just about almost backwards .

Id like to know from anyone on of them how AJ faked selling out MSG in his U.S debut and what was su****ious about that ? Ha

I’m an AJ fan, but since his loss to Ruiz he doesn’t rate any better than #2 to Fury.

Just highly skeptical of it all. It’s not past Eddie Hearn to innovate and hire 3rd party bots to purchase remaining tix to artificially bring needed interest to this fight.

You're not an AJ fan, behave. It's clear what you mean.

What does the ranking of fighters have to do with ticket sales and what not? That's a completely different area. Again, you've exposed yourself.

AJ sold huge numbers on PPV for the rematch against Ruiz. You may want to take that comment back too.

What are you not understanding here? Fans fill those arenas. Who else do you think does if not fans? Eddie has proven time and time again with AJ. So why would you be sceptical? Sceptical of what? When has it been proven to be lies about the tickets sold?

I wouldn’t say either shrink the sport. Places like LA, Cali New York etc are just expensive places. There are still tickets available the day before big fights in Vegas so it’s not like people can’t go if they want to. I wouldn’t say people are priced out either, you should no what expect if you’re travelling to a super fight in Vegas, New York etc

I’ve been to fights in Vegas were I’ve paid 4 figures and then big fights in places like Texas were I’ve only paid $50. Same with the UK you can pay £40 and attend a big fight. It’s just certain strategies work better for different events. Look at the fight camp cards last week, they were charging like £700 for a ticket.

You don't think restricting the audience shrinks the sport?

I think it's a nailed on fact.

There might be examples of cheap seats in the US and expensive ones in the UK, but generally that's not the case. The US model is to bleed the few, not to attract the many.

Fight camp is a limited audience by definition. It was conceived for COVID restrictions. Again, a specific approach rather than evidence of differences or similarities between countries.

how long has mcgregor been a professional boxer and trying to compare a ppv clown show between a boxer and MMA fighter shows you know **** all.
your ignorant and you really have no concept about Joshua and his selling power and also the curiosity on how usyk will perform in this fight.
usyk has already debuted on ppv on sky with chisora so the U.K. know how skilled this guy is.......it’s also been quite some time since fans have been allowed to pack in a stadium fight and they are itching to see a big event
unlike America muppet the U.K. loves big time boxing and will pay the money to go see it.
The states on the other hand has turned into some kind of social media freak show with boxing and MMA and the fans would much rather pay to see that **** show......no wonder why your country is slowly being destroyed by Chinese and ******* woke brigade and boxing is dying more everyday.
It’s a shame because there was a time when boxing from America made the world stop and watch it but now it’s just a fading memory.
Take your sour ass and go sit and have dinner with arum u2 have much in common numb nuts

I think you're right. Joshua appeals to broke idiots like you who seem to emotionally attached. So yeah, more fool me....

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

In Europe nobody knows Canelo. You must go to boxing gym and find boxers to talk about him.

[hugh grant]

2 tàlented practit8oners and outcome uncertain of course will sell fast

No offense then but they must live under a rock. He is the highest net worth by a mile over any active boxer today. That doesn’t come from not being a global powerhouse.

Mexico’s population is over 130 million . You don’t have to live under a rock to not understand where he generates the popularity . There’s no way Canelo is more recognizable then AJ globally however .

Wait a minute how did usyk become a 2 weight world champion by beating chisora ?

[The plunger man]

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

you tell me one fight in America where the lowest cost tickets were 5k...it’s never happened and your just talking bollocks....I’ve been to a big fight in Vegas and the ticket cost me 250 dollars so where on Earth have you seen the bleacher tickets go up for sale at 5k...you are talking bollocks
