this is **** on! klitschkos give away tickets & sell cheap ones so that is why they would have huge crowds wihout the gates being as high as you would think. MGM & MSG are the meccas of boxing. if you can sell out those venues you are an impressive draw. look at the Tyson & ODH gates at those venue. tickets are not cheap at a Floyd or many fight nor were hey for holyfield or Tyson...
Comments Thread For: Froch: Fans Would Support Me, Groves Struggling To Sell

People are getting wrongly caught up with the amount of tickets sold.
It's easy to sell 80,000 tickets when selling them for peanuts. Much harder to sell 20,000 tickets with 3,000 of them costing £2,000. That's why the Gate receipt total is far more important. Selling £15m from 20,000 tickets is far more impressive then selling £15m from 80,000 tickets..
I don't know about a 3rd fight, Groves needs to win a big fight or two first.Comment

The absolute only way Groves will even have a shot at getting another fight out of Carl would be to bring a world title in.
Even then I think it has no chance of happening mostly due to Froch's age and the way the 2nd fight went.Comment

Haye-Charr wasn't a PPV fight, no one knows how ticket sales were going. He was offered a Fury fight, £5million and massive coverage. That's why he cancelled it. Not because it was doing poorly, but because he was offered a 20 times bigger fight.
He cancelled a fight vs Vitali once I think, or Wlad maybe, in 2009 because the projective PPV numbers ******.Comment

This was all whilst the Charr fight was still signed and absolutely tanking at the box office.Comment

Do you have any proof that it was 'tanking' in ticket sales? Or is it just an assumption?Comment
