Comments Thread For: Duva Says Hopkins-Kovalev Tickets a Hit With Fans

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There is a palpable buzz this weekend surrounding the light heavyweight showdown between Bernard Hopkins and Sergey Kovalev at the Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City. It's been awhile since there's been a fight that has generated this much interest in this region. There was a time when it was a prime market for boxing but since the final ring days of Arturo Gatti and then the premature descent of Kelly Pavlik, it's been rather sluggish, to say the least.

I thought it wasn't selling well because people kept trying to push tickets online, making it sound like they weren't moving

Cool though

Damn, Steve Kim, you trying to put some nails in the coffin for AC? First Boardwalk Empire ends, now this? Geez. I hope the place is always a boxing destination.

If Kovalev wins he can maybe bring boxing in AC back to some degree fighting 4 times per year.

I expect about 2 Million ppv buys.

They need a home for this guy, might as well try there.

ME is based out of the East coast too, Jersey I think.

They could try I guess

Steve Kim has put down East Coast boxing many times in the past.
He can't help it.
A shame
