Crazy to think just a couple of years ago, AJ could sell out 90,000 tickets in the national stadium in super quick time
Now he’s fighting in a 20,000 seat arena, tickets are on sale and still thousands left that you can just buy easily.
It’s a crazy drop off in popularity, just because of a few losses, 2 of them on points to one of the elite fighters in this era.
Are there any other sports where fans of a team or athlete are so fickle? I think boxing takes the cake in that respect. I guess it’s what happens when you’ve been hyped up and marketed to a casual fanbase by a corporation.
it’s hard to remember such a quick decline in popularity though. From selling out stadiums in hours to not being able to sell venues way smaller.
No wonder Eddie Hearn is looking older and getting more bitter by the day
