ARUM: Yankee Stadium Crowd will be around 30,000!!!!

[Kball15]

Straight from the mouth of the man himself.

Someone told me he had allegedly said that they had sold about 12,000 and were expecting 20,000.




"Saturday’s card at Yankee Stadium will draw a crowd of around 30,000, Arum said, helped in no small part by the non-boxing fans who are attending out of curiosity."


AND it might rain. Should be a ****ing awsome day

he really has no reason to lie about attendance at this point. 2 days away from the fight.

When he lies about attentdance is right off the bat, where 2 months in advance he'll claim like "This one will sell out in a jiffy" so that people go out and buy their tickets quickly.

Exactly. Don't pay any real attention to what he has to say. Whats the max capacity of yankee stadium?

on top of this, Dan Rafael said in a chat recently that they opened up an additional 10,000 seats.

30,000 would have originally been a sell out.

well for boxing it could seat like 80,000 but for this fight it was orignally arranged to seat 29,000, but was apparently extended to seat 40,000

So 30k wouldn't be that good if they extend it to 40k.

sure it would. they extend it just to allow more people in, but they dont expect to sell all 10,000. Its free money cause it costs nothing to extend the seating. Cause Stadiums already been built lol

Arum would lie to his mother.

From reading all the comments about Arum, who is a businessman, anyone would think that Arum has a bunch of thugs roaming around, catching innocent guys and FORCING them to buy tickets (incidentally, for fights they really want to see)

How silly does this all sound??
