    Nice!! Wish i lived in the East Coast for this one

    Leo, Garcia/Guerrero, Broner sold out, Russell sold out, Spence, GGG, Ward, Pac/Bradley, and this isn't even including the UK or other countries.

    Fans are going to live fights and thats a great thing.

    Love seeing fights live. Hopefully Ghost comes back home for a "get me back in contention" type fight

      Gald this is coming to Brooklyn. They have a lot of fans that will support fights like these. So far I have been to Jacobs vs Quillen, and Spence vs Algieri. I will try to make this one if they still have tickets and if I can get off work that day.

          These stories are really misleading. We all know that the 3rd party monsters like stubhub bought a chunk of these tickets and are price gouging the public who never had a chance to buy regular tickets on ticketmaster or at the venue. They really need to make a law to make it illegal to do this, tired of not able to buy tickets or just a few hundred or thousand available when they go on sale because promoters are working with the stubhub of the business to get a cut of the gouging. I heard that Joshua-Martin tickets were steep and fans couldn't buy tickets in the first 5 minutes they went on sale to the public.

          I bet that there will be a ton tickets available for this fight a day before the fight. Isn't it weird how these tickets weren't flying when they were going to fight at some Indian casino??

            Actually they were expecting a sell out in March as well but i get what you are saying. They limit tickets but that doesn't work cause of "inside people".

            I agree that sucks but Boxing is becoming a rich man's sport...at least the big fights

                    This fight could use some hype, like a face-off. Thurman seems to be able to talk, so it could be great.

                      If a slew of tickets wind up on Vivid Seats (who just signed an exclusive deal w/ PBC), then I will definitely put stock in this theory. But so far I haven't heard any complaints like that. There was a lot of a positive feedback from pre-sale period, as opposed to the grumblings met when casinos/3rd party companies devour all of the seats the minute they go on sale.
