Over 20,000 tickets sold for Canelo-Kirkland

[Scipio2009]

He's selling $10 tickets to the fight ....

for a fighter who's supposed to be 'the next big star', I'm not sure what this board is fawning over.

[KO MX]

It's funny to watch the same people who are "fawning" over the PBC's viewing numbers on free TV trying to criticize a fight that garners 20,000 people (still weeks before the fight) that are willing to pay to watch boxing.

Funny stuff.

Pretty cool, not that many can sell 20,000 ticket period.

Exactly.

You can click on the ticketmaster link and look at the sections and what seats are gone.

It's like seven weeks out from the fight and you can look at the $100 sections (which look to be all the 200 sections) and there are many areas with only individual tickets still available.

The higher priced $350 field level and $150 priced 100 sections still have a lot more tickets available, but it's still March.

As I've said before, let's compare the numbers of this fight to Cotto-Foreman at Yankee Stadium.

http://www.newsday.com/sports/boxing/live-blog-miguel-cotto-scores-9th-round-tko-over-foreman-1.1985232

"The announced crowd was 20, 727."

"Purse: Cotto - $2 million; Foreman - $750,000."

Cotto is fighting on the undercard of the Daddy Yankee concert in Puerto Rico.

You are not supposed to be impressed there are other boxers that can't even sell out their living room and that's with free food and drinks....
