I am shocked, absolutely stunned by this development. But I thought all those blue dots on Ticketmaster meant it was selling well. Nuthugging faggots.

I saw this coming. From the moment it was announced that it would take place in the actual MSG arena, rather than the small hall, I knew they were greatly overestimating the popularity of the fighters or the match-up itself. That's not a knock on anyone in particular, because I think this fight should be selling out, but it looks like the promoters messed up their figures with lofty expectations of this being an event of "Cotto magnitude".

There's not a bunch of tickets sold for this fight for a couple of reasons...the fight is televised for free on HBO (for all subscribers)...and GGG is highly favored to win by KO or TKO. Couldn't agree more.

Want to sell out the arena? How about a unification championship middleweight bout between GGG and Peter Quillin (Brooklin New York). Let's put the the BS boxing politics aside and give the fans what they want. Let's get it on!

I dunno if Geale dropped him, or won

"It was at the East Asian Games in Japan and he beat me on points,” Geale said"
