Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Lemieux: 15,000 Tickets Already Sold

[daggum]

Cotto has built himself into a star attraction in New York City, so yeah, New Yorkers are going to rally behind a fighter based in NYC before they rally behind a Soviet-system Kazakh who has spent the last three years trying to convince viewers that he's Mexican.

how come ggg has already sold 15k while cotto only sold 12k in his last fight? seems like they are rallying to ggg and not cotto. cotto is old hat.

Yeah, sure Golovkin wanted to fight cans... such as Froch... the best oponent on Ward's resume.

One thing I do not understand. When Andrea fights Froch, he is top opponent.
But when Golovkin tries the same .. he is chasing cans. Why such double standards?

And to refresh your memory, few months ago Ward refused to fight Froch again at Nottingham.

... no one is calling Froch a can.

The simple point being made is that Team Golovkin was talking all this **** about being happy to fight Froch or Chavez Jr (a fighter, mind you, who would likely walk into the ring for any fight near 190lbs) yet, you mention Andre Ward and the entire squad, Golovkin included, stammer around like little *****es. Now, Golovkin and his fans are beating their chest over this 164lb BS (thought still asking for 50/50 split of the money as the "A-side).gtfoh

Relax Scott. It remains to be seen how many of these tickets are being purchased by ticket brokers and how many are being purchased by actual fans who will attend the fight.

It is similar to a Mayweather fight that sells 13K of 16K tickets overall in the first hour of availability but struggles to sell the other 3K over the next 2 months. It's ticket brokers that buy those 13K right off the bat and try to pawn them off at a profit through secondary ticket markets.

Either way I hope Golovkin sells out the place, it will increase his bargaining power vs. Ward. Maybe Ward will give him 35% of the purse now.

@168, Golovkin-Ward, splitting the pot 65/35.

If that was the actual offer that Team Golovkin went to the press with to begin with, they would've likely had the Ward fight in the cue, rather than looking like punks.

please look at the last 4 years of ward's career and who he has fought and who he has tried to fight(truax, periban, smith, sartison) ward also said he would fight anyone at 168 or 175...what happened there? you aren't taken seriously because you are so biased.

Word on the street is that Golovkin's church group is getting up to 75% off.

I think that was for this fight.

WOW your blind hatred for golovkin is leaving you confused.andre ward did that for his fight against paul smith the fight on bet no one saw.you are truly delusion.

You must not be reading right. This troll is saying Ward gives GGG 35% after a successful ppv.

Either way GGG is doing great, headlining his first ppv in a unification. Don't think they're too concerned with looking like punks as they sell 15k tickets in days, and aim square at the winner of Cotto Canelo, who may have Ward vs another bum on their undercard.

Don't bother man, these guys are legit ******ed.

Cotto-Geale pricing from Barclays: $500/$350/$250/$200/$150/$100/$50/$25

Golovkin-Lemieux pricing for MSG: $500/$300/$200/$100/$50, with a rumored half of the 17.5k tickets priced at $50

Golovkin MIGHT end up having a $1m-$1.5m live gate, and number that Cotto likely doubled with his fight against Geale.

The information isn't that difficult to find, and you're obviously not an idiot; why continue to assume that you can tell bold-faced bull**** without anyone fact-checking your story.

Lol what information? You just made 2 guesses, one "might" and one "likely". You've proven time and again you're most unreliable with things like numbers and facts.

might, rumored, likely. this is your fact checking? where are the facts? facts are cotto sold 12k and ggg already sold 15k. you are on a timeout from using the word facts for 20 minutes.
