I was only recently hearing that the $200, $300 and $500 tickets were sold out, and I wanted to see how true that was and then saw the same thing you linked. That's crazy. Good thing I got all my tickets already.

Really? Cause last I heard, the best light heavyweight in the world's next fight is in Russia. And the best light heavyweight in the world distinctly said a fight between he and Ward shouldn't be in Russia. It should be on American PPV.

So........?

But Andre Ward is ATG, HOF, SOG, TBE, huge draw, cash cow (just ask Jay Z) and A+ side. I am sure he can make an offer to Kovalev he CAN'T refuse...

I guess some people like to fight as much and as often as they can instead of once every.... 2-ish years

Got my tix. 10 rows from ringside. Cant wait. GGG will make you a good boy.

Between Golovkin vs. Lemieux, Cotto vs. Canelo and Matthysse vs. Postol there are some wars on deck for the fall.

2014 was pretty bad but 2015 has been one of the best years in boxing that I can remember.

I'm not surprised. This is boxing history in the making. And I'm rooting for the underdog here. Lemieux might surprise everyone in this fight.

Lemieux's one punch power, which definitely could cause an upset, is probably the reason this fight is selling so well.

I thought MSG was Cotto's home?

imagine how great cotto vs golovkin would be in there. shame cotto doesn't want it

[TheSlickster]

Lemieux definitely could cause the upset. This is a great fight for GGG! If this PPV does well, more Middleweights will want to fight him since he's more of a draw, which i hope happens!. I'm definitely buying this one for sure!

War GGG!!!!!
