Golden Boy is less than 48 hours removed from the fight and they have yet to hit 40,000 tickets sold. Somehow he's going to almost double sales...fool please! He'll have to give an asload of comps to do that!

Still impressive, though. Tell you what, I gotta give it to Mexican fans. They show out when it comes to boxing.

Lol anyone can fill up a stadium with tickets starting at $5 and being given for free to locals. I have family in Texas, told me they are knocking on doors giving out free ringside tickets and shirts in exchange for screams lol, no joke, they make them sign a contract and everything.

Of course that 40,000 is impressive... And if they sell 50,000 or more it will be even more impressive. But 70,000? I don't know...

Yeah 70K seems pretty unlikely at this point.

Nice try loser. Besides a small few nose bleeds tix at 40-50, the rest of tickets costs 85-100 or more. Sorry if you used to GGG having to give away free tix and having such cheap prices. LMAO

They have ALREADY surpassed the amount of tickets sold that Manny Pacquiao did in his prime at this same building. And they are not done, have yet to get walk up ticket sales which are huge in boxing fights. They will get a boost in sales from walk ups but this fight will already set all time record for AT&T Stadium fights. The question is only how much do they shatter the record.

Oscar just doing his job and raising the bar higher since tickets are flying and exceeding expectations. 40k is all they needed to beat Manny and pass Canelo's own record for tickets sold. 70k is a stretch no way they hitting that. My guess is it easily cracks 50k though and there is no boxer today doing these kinds of numbers especially off these type of ticket prices.
