Comments Thread For: Joshua-Pulev: 70,000 Tickets Sold, Attendance Record Broken!

Sure they sold 70,000 tickets already...SMFH..

I'm not saying the record won't be broken, but at this point, were putting the cart before the horse. There's no guarantee that those ticket buyers will show. I bought 2 tickets for GGG-Lemieux, but when my gf couldn't go that weekend, only one of us was actually in attendance.

That's how promoters are they get ahead of themselves just like Ellerbie saying they had broken the May-Pac record before they actually did.

Wilder is very far from headlining cards that totaled 75k..

This dude has about a dozen headline fights, and they are all about the 3-7k range..

And yes, I think every big Mexican superfight should be in Dallas stadium.. great environment for superfights

This info on Wilder isn't completely wrong. His fight with Spiizka sold over 12k tickets; 12,668 (after an originally planned 9k crowd) and did over $1 million live gate at Barclays.

I attribute that to Lou's ability to promote a fight at Barclays. He's promoted three of the top four events in boxing at that venue. All of which have come in the last 18 months or so.

The first release was actually exclusively on stubhub, maybe they're making a move into first party ticket sales but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a bunch of resale tickets on there already

Already checked, and there's a ton available.

many sold to the 3rd parties who then increase the price of tickets

its a propaganda press release from hearn

and I read that the hotel prices are unaffordable with it being 500 pounds a night in central Cardiff for that date so I wont be surprised if the attendance falls well short of capacity

very true but most Joshua fights have been selling out even after stub hub takes a lot of the tickets

Wilder would never see crowds like this if he continues the path he's on .he's boring in a lot of ways and it's tough to get them out of Alabama let alone get him to go to Europe...

[jas]

and so-called hardcore fans on this forum are celebrating profile rather than resume or skill. its a shame

an increased profile is exploited by promoters to sell casuals bs mismatches, you would think so-called hardcore fans would wanna prevent this by educating casuals.

If Joshua can draw 75k for pulev, if wilder goes over there, they will have to put it in the absolute biggest stadium in UK

He's a superstar, insane drawing power.
