Ward vs. Kovalev tickets sales

[King_]

Wow, this tells me three clear things:

1) Kovalev is a DRAW, a bonafide superstar, not just with his fists, but in ticket sales as well

2) Ward is not a draw. He failed to fill out a regular arena against career losers such as the Cuban sparring partner and British school teacher

3) GGG truly is a superstar, this guy SOLD OUT complete venues, fighting gargabe truck drivers such as Monroe, Wade, etc. Imagine what would happen if he fought Canelo, in like a football stadium or something.... It would literally break Pac-May records.

How many **** threads are we really willing to allow?

I mean this is kinda getting out of hand Motorcity constantly forces ****ty threads out on a daily man's clearly got absolutely nothing better to do sad little cretin.

Now you're on my ignore list so you don't have to read my threads.

.@LEllerbe I was ringside and never received the attendance figure, but it couldn't have been more than 3,000

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

don't worry, i was asking on twitter what's the capacity of this venue, because someone said half of the tickets were sold already and just saw fat dan's tweet. this is great.

Cuz I think people buy tickets &/or get tickets only to sell on the secondary markets for a profit.

Admittedly I don't know all the ins & outs of that **** its just something I'm seeing more & more & know there is more going on behind the scenes with. Plus I have trouble believing this fight is selling $2M worth of legit tickets via fans looking to attend the fight in a couple days. Maybe I've overlooked their previous popularity, but I tend to think this is more ticket tomfoolery like is going on more & more these days in the boxing industry by promoters, managers & fighters themselves.

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

Don't think that's right. Cotto-Martinez had a $4.7M gate.

Slow down. Someone asked how many tickets were sold. You're providing the number of folks in attendance. Remember that they gave away crap loads of free tickets just prior to those fights. So no, Ward didn't 'sell' all those tickets.

Andre Ward-Sully B real ticket numbers:

Tickets sold - 6,873
Comp tickets - 1,359
Deadwood - 8,232
Net ticket sales - $598,954#boxing

That's amazing news, the fight should be a legit sellout.
