GGG vs Martirosyan: Biggest gate and potentially fastest sellout in Stubhub history

[2fast2strong]

He's always sold well in LA. I think the Rubio fight was the largest gate at Stub Hub and the two biggest Forum gates were his fights with Monroe and Wade. The crowd was full and electric for all those events. I was there.

Yeah you would probably know much better than me about the live gate.

The fight against Rubio I can understand the large gate with two punchers fighting and especially one of those fighters being Mexican.

But if the live gates were good against two black non punchers he must be a draw in LA.

I stand corrected

There’s a lot of Armenians in Glendale and Pasadena not surprise. This fight is garbage though but the Armenians do back their own people.

Exactly this. No1 is going to see scared to be GGGreat.

Vanes has never been stopped, he arguably beat Jermell Charlo, I dont think it will be over that quickly.

Vanes will go 12

how Lil g fans celebrate this news

Explain the gates for Rubio, Wade and Monroe then. None of those guys was Aremenian and the fans at the Rubio fight all came for GGG not Rubio.

GGG is not a PPV star without a superstar opponent (who is these days let's face it) but he's a success at the gate.

He had the best selling Stub Hub gate and the best at The forum. His ticket sales were excellent at MSG big room twice too in addition to selling out the 02 in London fast and according to posters here that went to that fight it was GGG selling the tickets fast not Brook.

Too many fans around here want every fighter to fight in front of empty crowds with no viewership on TV. Aren't we Boxing fans wanting to see the sport do well?

Good business move, bad sport move.

I got mine already. Not really into the fight but seeing Chocolatito and GGG for $100 is good especially being so close to home.

right. **** main event, but it's stub hub center in may, it's gonna be gorgeous. it's not a bad deal for 100.

but FFS golovkin is fighting vanes martyrosian after a two year layoff. the guy was dead average in his prime and he' was a 154 lber!

[New England]

Vanes will go 12

i doubt it. he's coming off of a long layoff and he's never been all that mobile. the guy has only a few weeks to gameplan and spar, and let's hope he is on weight! golovkin has slowed down a lot, but the jab is one of the last things that goes, and he can still walk vanes down and put leather on him, i'll bet.

Haters just cant control themselves... Their hate for a fighter or their male groupie attitude makes their mind messed up.

Im not happy for the fight, but its a short notice fight... Its isnt THAT bad.

Not saying its a good fight but cant complain since theres 2 weeks left...
