[Hougigo]

Just bought my tickets. holy fckin shít this is gonna be awesome.

This will be my first trip to NYC, and my first major boxing match. I've been to some low-level events, local shít, that kind of stuff, but nothing like this.

Omfg I'm excited!!!!!




--------------------------

Should be fun. This'll be the biggest one I've been to yet....I only travel to East Coast shows most the time... before that GGG/Geale was the biggest

Just 2500??? Didn't Wlad vs Jennings sell like 5k tickets in that time frame?

What did you say?

#GGGLemieux tix pre-sale began Tues & has already sold over 5k tix. Best pre-sale MSG has had, surpassing Wlad-Jennings & Cotto-Margarito 2.

Well the fact that the presale for this fight has been the fastest selling at the Garden is a pretty good start.

which is a fair point.

My only pause is that people wait until they open up the entire building before they start declaring greatness for the guy; he's only sold a rumored 6,000 tickets, and people need to remember that.

K2 is staging MSG to host 17,000 seats, and people on this site still diss Andre Ward for selling $700k worth in tickets.

Let's see what type of business Golovkin does when they open up the full building.

Bro he's from Kazakhstan, outselling most of the US fighters. Your favorite, the PBC, have to give free tickets away.

exactly its pretty crazy to see how far golovkin has come I mean he's only been fighting in the us for like 2 or 3 years.

imagine if you had these same stringent standards when talking about all fighters instead of just the ones you don't like.

he's only sold the most presale tickets ever, he's only sold 12k tickets, his tickets are really cheap, lets see what happens when they open it up...meanwhile in your other posts quillin-jacobs is a huge fight! why aren't you saying things like they have sold zero tickets, they have generated no money, lets see what happens when they headline a card...

this slug is an obvious pbc shill not a real boxing fan anybody can see through that bull****.golovkin has pretty much already sold out the venue meanwhile for jacobs vs qullin they will have to give away free tickets.

Golovkin's been fighting in the US, on HBO no less, for the last three years, and he's been featured on TV for nine fights now, having fought at Madison Square Garden for four fights already.

The fact that you keep trying to use the "oh. he's a foreigner" excuse says more about your lack of boxing knowledge than anything.

Beyond that, with Garcia-Peterson having done $1m at their gate at Barclays, I doubt that your " all free tickets" nonsense is all that accurate either, tbh.

Quillin-Jacobs, a fight between two Brooklyn-based middleweights rated in the top 10 at Brooklyn's prime venue IS a big fight; I don't talk about the gate for that event because, frankly, I don't care what the gate is.

Golovkin gets held to a different standard because his camp has regularly sold him as far more then he's actually proven himself to be. Golovkin walking out on fighting Andre Ward, or viewing a fighter like Erislandy Lara as simply being beneath him, while fighting soft competition, would inherently mean that the business that Golovkin does is so massive that he can justify the prima donna nonsense.

People are on here, talking massive ****, about Golovkin selling 5k tickets; note that Floyd Mayweather did $20m in ticket sales in less than 36 hours, and Cotto-Margarito II put nearly 24k people into MSG.

For someone you seem to insist on as being the next "that dude", it's going to take more than selling 5k tickets, in a market that you've already fought in five times, four times at that very same venue, to get me excited.
