GGG vs. Jacobs a flop at the gate!

[BoxingFan85]

Dan Rafael tweeted the attendance. I don't think any info on the gate $ has been released though.

thanks, I was hoping they'd announce the attendance # at the arena but they didn't.. I remember Barclays used to do it...

According to Wiki, the Garden holds 20.7K for boxing and they sold damn near 20K, that's a flop?

Now the PPV, that's what we expect to flop.

Why do certain white posters continue making threads like this? What is the reason for the high level of insecurity?

Boxing Ego said he has source that took pics of the stadium, aiming at the high decks. I think they are saving it for any false propaganda. I hope for the sake of K2 and industry that we all be honest

check Youtube. The crowd was roaring for Schmeling. 1936 the USA was not in war with Germany yet!

the states and **** Germany were in serious heat during the 30's and was on the verge of war. The Us didn't decide yet to go to war when Germany was preparing to invade Poland. And A lot of **** supporters had come in to see Schemling destroy Joe Louis like in their first fight, because it would be seen once again as "Negro Inferiority and Aryan Superiority"

you're talking about the 2nd bout? What do you mean ''**** supporters?'' THere were plenty of German immigrants in the states. NOthing wrong with them cheering for a German fighter. Schmeling was never a **** supporter to begin with

What is your situation like? You don't have to answer me publicly, answer it to yourself. Are you a millionaire like Gennady? Do you EVEN have 500 people that care about you and watch you do your job? Heck do you even have 20 people who care about you in LIFE, in general? Suddenly, you realise you live almost in poverty, no one cares about your life/existence, mild depression, very likely a ****** (fat ugly desperate women do not count) and there you are critiquing a man who is more successful than your entire family combined, in fact, add in your 4 friends, and he is richer and more successful than all of you summed up.

Have a nice week, now go cry and fear the anger this reality caused you.

Yow dude, come one, you know that is a result of the Germany vs America, or the **** vs Freedom of the 30s. Literally they demonized a german hero in Schmeling for the sake of the fight giving financial rapple.

very true, there was a great doc on the whole event and the political atmosphere around it.

They have NOT released any live fugures. There were thousands of tickets left unsold on ticketmaster at the time of the start of the event when they stopped selling. Also thousands more from resellers. Not including how many comp tickets were already given away. The fight didn't sell out and they started handing out free tickets. We will know exactly how many tickets they actually sold when K2 release the live gate figures which they did in lemiuex fight. If they don't its because like the wade fight they gave tons of free tickets away so K2 refused to release live gate.

I never said he was. But in the second fight he was regarded as even though he saves ***ish children by pretending that they were his niece and nephews. A lot of factors why the 2nd fight was a success was because of the racial tension between America and Germany.
