    If the promoters can't sell-out a Vegas venue with the biggest fight of the year, then they aren't very good at their jobs. But the doubters are forgetting that the boxing fans who frequent Vegas for big fights will the do the same for this big fight. The fight will sell out. But that doesn't guarantee a crowd that is specifically for either fighter.

      If they can't sellout in Vegas as the biggest fight of the year, then that will only prove how small hall these promoters are. I can't speak for the ppv buys, but the site will likely sell-out due to Vegas as a destination. If you haven't been there yet, you likely want to at least visit it once in your life kinda thing.

        It's not going to sell out. This is the biggest fight of the year for us fight fans. Not for the casual fans. If you think this fight will sell out T-Mobile but when Canelo couldn't you're seriously underestimating Canelo's drawing power. Ward can only sell in Oakland and Kovalev can't sell anywhere in the U.S. Where are these two going to suddenly get all these new fans to travel to Vegas, book a room, and spend $500- $1000 for a ticket? To understand how big of a draw fighter are think of it this way. If you took a stadium that holds 100,000 people and sold all the tickets for $1 each what fighters would have the highest attendance?

          T-Mobile Arena is only 20,000 seats. It can't be that hard to sell-out. These promoters have got to get their a$$es in gear. I know. They should try to put Saunders on this undercard...

            Nobody in America knows Saunders. Saunders vs. Lee had to be moved and postponed twice because of poor ticket sales. You have to realize how expensive tickets are in Vegas for these big fights. These aren't the $30 tickets GGG sold to sell out MSG. Vegas is for the big boys.
