Ward's tickets this Saturday

[boxingsupreme87]

I got free tickets too. Some random black guy approached me in Oakland, saying Ward is the best fighter in the world, trying to hype up the fight. He told me he posted on this website. I said that's cool, but I was in Oakland for the Warriors game. The guy then said "**** the warriors, go cavs." I told the guy that's cool to root for lebron or whatever. At the end of the conversation he offered me a *******.

What a weird mutha***a.

Damn, you gonna take that Brush?

I've gone to much worse fights, so I'd go in a heartbeat especially if it's free. Then again, as you said, Porter-Broner will be a much more exciting fight but you can just DVR that and watch it when you get home.

I have watched Andre ward only once or twice....

I won't stay up and watch his fights. Yet ill happily watch rigondeaux. Until ward fights the likes of golovkin, dirrell froch (again if they want it)degale groves I won't be interested in him

"a million dollars" lol ok dr. evil.

where's the acting of ringside seat? man free lower level isn't good enough for you? greedy ass

more than 8000 appeared, and that's supposed to be good for someone making such bold claims? and ward-dawson was actually at least a fight, but this up coming fight, not so much

The tickets that you're trumpeting around as proof positive that Andre Ward is a terrible draw are easily 30 rows up from where the ring is likely to be.

Ward sold tickets to nearly 8,000 for his last fight at Oracle Arena (can't be bothered to find the exact number, but I believe he sold 7,800 tickets), the actual crowd that was in the building to watch the fight was around 10,000, and Ward did nearly three quarters of a million dollars at the gate (glad to see that you acknowledged that point).

This actual upcoming fight isn't all that important; Andre "SOG" Ward, Oakland's finest and the Bay Area's champion, is stepping back into the ring, and the Bay Area is simply looking forward to seeing their star fight again; outside of the man's family and friends, no one in Oakland bought a ticket to see Dawson for their fight.

With tickets prices $250-$30 for the event, why is $1m ridiculous (especially after Andre Ward already did over $700k for his last fight in his hometown)?

So I got LOWER LEVEL tickets to the fight, but should I go? Or should I stay at home and save money on gas, toll, parking, and food/drinks?

As you can see, for LOWER LEVEL seats, they were free. FREE.

How does this guy think he's a PPV star etc when tickets to his fight (at HIS home town) can't even sell and people are handing them out for free just to fill up the seats to give it the illusion that there are people actually there.

Mercito Gesta in Vegas, for nose bleeds, were even on sale for $50, while Ward, has free LOWER LEVEL tickets for free. I've heard of free upper level but LOWER LEVEL!!! lmao.

I'll probably just go and then stream the Porter fight on my phone.

should probably take a look at the seats that you're trumpeting too; over 20 rows up, in arguably the lower bowl section with the worst angle on actually seeing the fight.

Save the money and buy some new table mats.
