65K for Canelo vs Kirkland?

They plan to fill in seats with dummies and cardboard cutouts?

The Canelo vs Trout fight (more competitive fight) did just under 40K attendance.

I could see them hitting the 50,000 mark.

It really is a shame that Texas has such a bad reputation with judges because in Texas people actually show up to boxing fights.

Maybe more competitive, (that is still to be determined) but Canelo/Kirkland is definitely more exciting.
Will easily put 50K in seats.

Canelo vs Trout DID 40,000 and trout is not as big of a name as Kirkland. I can see that. Kirkland is from Texas and I'm sure his fans will come out to support him.

Tickets will probably be expensive as ****, they'll give away a lot as well. I'd go but you probably have to shell out way too much to get a decent view for a sub par fight tbh...

Only reason Canelo Trout did so many was because 90% of the tickets were discounted or given away

i was there with my wife bought decent tickets from the very first day, my sister and her husband tried to get tickets the week before the fight and the only option was resellers, they had the nosebleed tickets for more than 100 bucks, they decided not to go for that reason, if anyone got their hand on the cheap tickets was the resellers...
and by the way only 10k out of 40k were cheap, the rest were regular prices...
for broner-maidana with thurman-sotokaras on the undercard they had similar prices plus they were exchanging tickets for toys, they could barely hit 10k...

yes they can fill the stadium. but they will have to sell the ticks for $ 10 dollars just like the last time.
