Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Lemieux Sets Pre-Sale Ticket Record at MSG

[hitking]

there is a reason the tickets pre sold.....
Most of them were cheaper than a round of drinks.....
Good luck trying to get a ticket to a cotto fight or a gatti fight at the garden for $50
Box office record is right......
For the cheapest unification at the garden ever.....

Don't know about that. But, the Wilder-Molina ticket prices were similar. Wilder sold that arena out. So I guess his A-side talk when it comes to Wlad is warrented. At least according to the "GGG ducking Ward" defenders' logic.

Uhh Wlad fills stadiums, Ward gives up comps in his hometown

ggg is a big enough draw where he could fight anyone and it be a big fight.
if he fought ward the fight would be ****ing gigantic. him and canelo or even cotto would be even bigger

i believe that true.
but it still has to be prooven.

Are you a boxing fan or GGG's agent? Because you have a ****o sized hard on to see the best middleweight in the world fight the best welterweight in the world. But when it comes to the best middleweight in the world fighting the best super middleweight in the world, all we get is excuses.

Not to mention Wlad gets over 10mill tv views in Germany alone, compared with 325k Ward just got. Imagine Wlad agreeing to be on an undercard....


Wlad could live without fighting Wilder, he'll make big money regardless. Sooner or later someone's going to punch Deontay's number for far less than Wlad would offer.

Meanwhile Ward can't even generate enough money to cover his own contract.

Ah a star is born

Good for him he deserves it,
He has the most loyal, intelligent and humble fans in the world of sports. The PPV is probably going to do 2.5 million buys. I would go see it live but I have to save my money for the Cotto/Canelo PPV. My barber is going to be ecstatic when hears that his favorite fighter is breaking records at MSG big room.

Floyd is Wba+WBC SWW champ. Ggg offers to meet him at SWW. What's the problem?

Glad you recognize that was a terrible comparison

Looks like this fight will atleast match the 17,056 attendance from Klitschko/Jennings. Lets see if it can reach the Cotto/Martinez max of 21,090.

I'll hate having to watch Ward-GGG, I'm pretty set as of right now that Ward escapes with a decision but I love watching GGG fight.

GGG would need knockdowns to beat Ward, which is possible.

There would be more chance of GGG decking Ward than the other way round, that's for sure.

The advantage in punch power that GGG would have over Ward would be a big factor in Golovkin's favour.
