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

It's Wales bro what do you expect? The country is starved of quality events so when something like this comes along everybody wants to be a part of it. Eddie knows this. Why else would they be fighting in Wales?

Meanwhile AJ's bank account just went BOOOM

Yeah but Wilder is not any kind of star here nor is Joshua so that PPV is not gonna sell anyway.

Anything extra is a plus lol if they sell only 500k, that's extra income they wouldn't get if the fight was in the UK.

The 1 million in UK PPV sales is guaranteed no matter where they fight. With the right media play, Joshua could become a name here for sure. 500k (another 25 million for promoters) is more than possible in the US if done correctly.

Biggest in Wales I expect, seen as Wembley was bigger anyway.

Its the indoor boxing attendance record. Principality the 2nd biggest stadium in the world with a roof. Someone will have to sell out AT&T to beat it

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 because Pulev doesn’t even speak English and I doubt half the people going have even heard of him!

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.

Sky and hearn have done a blinding job on the hype & proganda machine behind Joshua half the people that attend his fights are essex boy wannabes skinny jeans shaved ball bags type of casuals there to watch a ko and nob a random bird at the end of the evening ibis or travel lodge style I don't rate aj wlad pre 40's upto 38 would have took joshua out before the 7th he was let off the handle that's only my opinion though

[Floyd Junior]

They haven't been sold.

The resellers have just snappet up 80% of the tickets, that's all.

[VatoMulatto]

AJ can definitely become a global superstar but he needs to fight in America for that to happen.

[MisanthropicNY]

Already sold more tickets than Andre Ward sold in his entire career...
