I'll never understand why promoters just put fighters that don't have followings in casinos, where most of the tickets end up getting comped. GBP has a heck of a talent in Matthysse and instead of actually trying to build their figther's "brand", they'd rather just have him fight in front of high rollers who have no idea who the fck he is, on top of not paying to see him, instead of actual fans who pay for their tickets.

The timing of the fight was not good either. A relative small card a week before two large cards are coming into play in the same city. It will get over shadowed easily.
Little things like that will affect how a card sells. Many will simply step over it to see a bigger card.

LOL @ all the fans from other 140 lbs fighters trying to discredit Matthyse because of the low ticket sales. Fact is he's the best Jr. Welterweight in boxing!!!!

Hatton's a 4-time world champ, he didn't magically get that following.
