Damn Pulev sold 70k tickets he's a big draw now.

Pulev is a bigger draw than Wlad

Good for joshua, you can't hate on anyone that's carrying the sport he deserves respect.

We all knew AJ was a star but to sell out 70k in one day against Pulev????!!!! Even I said they would struggle to sell out a stadium

Was that before or after they announced David Allen vs Lenroy Thomas 2 was gunna be on the card though?

I think they may very well intend to attend, but no one has ATTENDED anything (by definition of the term). Further, I dont care about profit. Attendance is not related to profit. Attendance is asses in seats. Not a single ass has sat in a seat yet for this fight.

This is like saying my son plans on going to school everyday, so let's give him a perfect attendance certificate now.

The record is 63,000 for Muhammad Ali vs Leon Spinks.. They’ve already sold 70k tickets in one day so there is no denying that this event will sell out the proposed 80k Hearn is excepting. So even if 10 thousand ticket buyers didn’t attend for whatever reason.. They’ll still smash the record. I think it’s safe to assume this event will break the record. But I hear ya.. it’s going to happen but it can only be officially announced on fight night.

Lol David Allen vs Lenroy Thomas 2.. That's what boosted the sales. The chief support is yet to be announced. Rumours are Whyte vs Lucas Brown/Miller/Ortiz.. All good fights IMO.

Thats all Im saying. Not saying it wont happen, just that's it's early to make that statement about attendance.

He will become the biggest name in boxing SINCE Mike Tyson.

When you sell out two stadiums fights back to back with 90k & 80k, it speaks for itselfs.

[komandante]

This is a real fight unlike the Mayweather v McGregor freak show.

Basically AJ can sell out a stadium to take a **** and people will still pay to watch. Hearn said they will get permission to add more seats on the pitch so should be a total of 80k fans at Cardiff on the night.

That's going to make this fight the biggest indoor event in history in the whole world.

Are they giving these things away for free? Or did Stubhub buy them? 80K sounds crazy
