Comments Thread For: Hearn Expects Another Enormous Crowd for Joshua-Pulev Fight

[Bronxie]

AJ is a big star but 80k against Pulev? C’mon, They aren’t gonna sell out 80K for this fight.. They should have done it in the O2 arena 20k loud fans would have been better.

No one knows Pulev and he isn’t a trash talker.. Canelo vs Smith struggled to sell 40k tickets and they gave away so many tickets for free.. Smith is a way bigger name than Pulev so Hearn isn’t gonna sell 80k tickets for this fight.

You should be right, really. But you're not.

Joshua is incredibly popular. They would sell out several times over even if he was fighting Audley Harrison.

Dont underestimate Joshua's drawing power.
You cant compare him to a Canelo.

Joshua is a heavyweight and HW's always sells.

He could sellout 20k at the O2.. That's no easy feat. 20K is a big number.. Mayweather v Mac only had 14k fans in the arena.. But 80k.. that's a tough call. I dont think many will be excited to see AJ vs Pulev and lead up will be dry and Pulev is a quite guy. If they sell it out then Props to Hearn and AJ but AJ usually sells out in minutes sometimes less than a minute.. I think tickets will be available for weeks for this fight.

It might not sell out in minutes but i think it'll sell out.

I know plenty of people already wanting to go and make a weekend of it. I think a lot of people will go from England to Wales for the trip and make it an event as Cardiff is a good night out.

Also, to be fair to Hearn, he's pretty shrewd whether people like him or not. I doubt he would choose a stadium if he didn't think he could fill it.

Should tell your mates to stay inside, Cardiff playing Millwall that day, gunna be like a warzone over there

Lets all hope Pulev signed a rematch clause just in case it ends quickly . They could do over 100,000 with this one and Pulev could have 5 months to train so no rock is unturned. We want Joshua fighting the best possible Pulev. Kubrat ,the ultimate crowd pleaser.

Joshua the" Juggernaut " vs Pulev the "Cobra"....clash of the Titans! Unstoppable force meets the immovable object in a once in a life time showdown.


TRILOGY in the making

Haha that makes a lot of sense and i never realised, some of them are Millwall fans, they must be doing both. Makes sense because i didn't think any of them would travel that far for a fight when they're not massively into boxing, however they do like Joshua like his usual casual fanbase, which is the reason it'll sell out.
