"We're gunna need a bigger stadium"

You're a GGG Stan so I doubt you know anything about high ticket sales

Brook fought GGG at the O2 Arena which only seats 20,000. But you do remember these sold out in 11 minutes right ? Pretty sure they could have sold out Hillsborough in Brook's home town (40,000) if it was there.

This is just a function of boxing being pretty big in the UK at the moment. Joshua could fill any venue in the country - the stadium he's at only seats 74,500 so that's going to be a sell-out again.

I doubt it really matters who Joshua fights either, I bet a good proportion of the people buying tickets couldn't name who he's fighting.

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.

Yeah any would be good, actually surprised theyre looking at a live dog for Whyte with the plan for him and Chisora to headline the 02

the UK have no shame. They ran commercials during kids shows...

[Robbie Barrett]

Cardiff is the only venue they could put this fight. The only stadium with a roof. British weather is not nice in November so Wembley was out.

Damn.

Just shows how hot the UK boxing world, and how cold it is in America.


Joshua selling 75k tickets for a "meh" mediocre fight vs pulev
Wilder hasn't sold 75k tickets, his whole career combined

Wilder-Ortiz should sell out. That should push him over 75K tickets sold.

I still wish they would have put GGG-Canelo at AT&T. What a spectacle..

He will become the biggest name in HW boxing SINCE Mike Tyson and Evabder Holyfield.

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

Fixed it for you...lol don't sleep on Evander. Sold more PPVs (and more consistently) than Mike did in his day.

Obviously Floyd stands alone in terms of sales on all fronts.

I think AJ has a chance to surpass everybody but Floyd. Unless he finds a way to penetrate the US market, then anything is possible.

[GhostofDempsey]

Now at Wilder knows who the A-side is, I wonder what his excuse will be for pricing himself out of a fight with Joshua next year.

After that Wlad fight he is a ****ing SUPERSTAR! He will draw big in the UK every time he fights no matter who he fights now as he should! Will be BIG in America as well once he makes his Debut here!
