Comments Thread For: Hearn on Crowd: Broner-Vargas Much Bigger Than Jacobs-Sulecki

[IMDAZED]

Do you dispute that demand is extremely high and ticket prices could be doubled? You don't think that they could do that for another super fight like Klitschko at Wembley?

Wilder or Fury ringside could go for for 10k easily, charge double for all the other price brackets....

I guarantee they could AT LEAST double the prices and it would still sell out 90k..... London is extremely wealthy.

They do go for those prices. It’s just not advertised .

I guess you have a source for that?

Possibly. Maybe. But can’t say, so I’d advise you to do some digging yourself because the truth is far from what you’re saying.

Secondary markets don't count towards the fight revenue btw. And I know the cost of all Matchroom shows tickets.... I'll stick with what I know until someone (obviously not you) can prove otherwise.

And what I said is true, they could double the ticket prices for Aj fights and it would still sell out, and they could charge 3/4/5 times more the closer to the ring you get.

You’d be surprised how involved some people are in the re-selling of tickets. Those who have greater access to do just that.

just doubling the ticket prices would net whoever is involved much more money than any shady deals with the secondary market....

With the prices so low and demand so high..... secondary market is inevitable.... the U.K govt are clamping down on it hard this year though, making it illegal to use bots to mass purchase any way, and lots of events can enforce ID matching the name on the ticket now... you don't want to be turning up to certain events with a secondary ticket nowadays, but that is entirely up to the venue, promoters, bands etc

Would only take one forward-thinking, progressive promoter and broadcaster to try it out and be successful to prove the model worked.

The popularity of the sport would increase, and drive more future buys. I'd imagine there are a lot of people out there that would be tempted to buy it at $40, as most of the buys are right before the event.

I have bought so many PPV's right before the event, with the minset "ah it's only 16.95 or 19.99.... I don't think I would have if it was $80 or £58.20.

I live in America. Do you know how greedy this country is ? They would charge $1,000 if they could get away with it and boxing is not growing in America, it's growing in Europe but not here. It was our number 1 sport in the 1930s. Baseball and NFL football are losing popularity. Our number one growing sport is basketball then soccer. Less contact, less physical, and women and men can both follow it easily and they both can play it. No American promoter will drop the ppv price Cuz HBO and showtime will not allow it. I ain't paying $40 for damn boxing match. The Super Bowl and world Cup
Are FREE.

Broner-Vargas did well, and Wilder-Ortiz did even better than that. The starpower of the fighters definitely had a big benefit, but having Lou DiBella at the helm of the show, working his market, helped make sure that word got out as best as it could for the fight, especially in Brooklyn.

Eddie Hearn doesn't have that local knowledge, and it's clear in the work with Jacobs so far.

Just like Lou DiBella having major issues were he to try and put on a show in London, even if he had London's own James Degale on the bill. Lou doesn't have the contact with the ticket sellers, the local sporting celebs, or the various other flashpoints that help make a show a show.

It's kinda the genius of the Haymon model; get the deepest pool of talent, and then stage shows with promoters in markets that they know.

Didnt Dibella promote the Jacobs-Quillin card, 2 Brooklyn guys with an all NY undercard, and still didnt sell 7000 tickets?? (comps dont count)

How are the tickets $10 you moron. Stop the lies. American fights they give away thousands of free tickets and still get **** attendance. On average the UK tickets are probably higher than US.

Lol u mentioned khan brook and Whyte. I looked up the ticket prices and they were like 35-40$ lol stop lying.
Broner Vargas attendance was more than Khan, Brook, and Whyte fights lmao. 14k in attendance compared to 9k in attendance for khan lmao. I think you are just over rating uk boxing like the rest of your Brits.

[THEFRESHBRAWLER]

Haye-Bellew is priced higher than Wilder-Ortiz want to bet which has the higher attendance? Joshua's last fight was priced the same as Wilder-Ortiz, Joshua sold 70k+ Wilder sold around 9/10k and gave the rest away.

The Mayweather era is over. Overall the UK has much better attendance. Why are you even arguing? Does it hurt your feelings?

That’s only ONE person AJ. The only big star you have lmao. Everything about the popularity of boxing in Uk comes back to AJ and he represents Nigeria more than the uK lol. That’s only one person. Broner fought just outsold Khan, Whyte and Brook fight and did more views lol.
