Ward vs. Kovalev tickets sales

[Motorcity Cobra]

The @andreward @KrusherKovalev fight is being well received by fans. Told by Vegas friend that $2 million in tix sold in first two days.

In 1st 36 hrs of tix on sale for #KovalevWard about 9,500 of 17,500 available were sold. Glad to see fans responding to a great match.

And to clarify on the #KovalevWard tix -- they are sold to public, not brokers/consignments. #boxing

For a little perspective....

The event [Golovkin-Lemieux] sold out Madison Square Garden, becoming the top boxing seller since the Miguel Cotto-Antonio Margarito rematch in 2011; the show did a gate of over $2 million

#AndreWard Oracle Arena attendance last night 8653
March vs. Barrera 8532.
June 2015 vs. Smith 9016.
Sept 2012 vs. Dawson 8919.#boxing

Some people in the media with agendas are lying to you.

I don't think anyone should be expecting Kov vs Ward to do huge PPV numbers. Its rare that two PPV ******* do great PPV numbers. See TC vs Postol or GGG vs Lemeiux for recent outcomes with PPV *******. If Kov vs Ward get 200k or better its huge for them. Think Floyd vs Gatti did 300k for their PPV cherry breaking fight which was impressive as f#ck all things considered at the time & maybe the record in this era for PPV *******.

I'm talking about the ticket sales so far. And the promotion hasn't even started to ramp up yet. Already sold as much as GGG's highest gate. But they kept saying Ward isn't a draw

[Motorcity Cobra]

Loeffler says his boxer is only interested in moving up to super middleweight if there is a major fight on the table, preferably a pay-per-view attraction.

This was the major fight with PPV and in Vegas. A place Ward or GGG has never fought...

Oh. I thought you were digging on the expected Kov vs Ward PPV numbers with the comparison in ticket sales in the tweets.

But honestly I don't trust ticket sale numbers or sold out or nearly sold out headline types of **** these days. Too much money to be made in the secondary ticket sales market so I wouldn't make too much of ticket sales news one way or another.

The info wasn't coming from Roc Nation or Main Events trying to pump up the fights. All of this info has to be reported and will be posted online by the NSAC. So why wouldn't you believe it?
