Wilder vs. Fury sells $1 mil worth of tickets in first 25 minutes

[j0zef]

uh.. so what does that compare to? I assume vast majority of tickets get bought in the first few hours of being released as they're picked up by scalpers. $1M is not a lot, guess depending on how much they sold.

For example, a good gate for this fight is $5M. A great gate is $10M. So I guess this means they sold between 10 and 20% of all tickets in the first half hour.. OK?

Dude, use your brain. The tickets just went on sale yesterday! They have several weeks to sale this event out.

What are you on about???? You're the one saying the great ticket demand proves this will be big on PPV. I'm pointing out to you that the tickets aren't even sold out yet for you to make those kind of predictions. Jeez.

It does. If there's a huge demand for an event, then it's usually a good indication and sign that the event will be a box office pay per view success.

Take this for example: The Staples Center has a seating capacity of 18,000 people. So far in just 3 days, it has already sold more than half the tickets available; 10,000 to be exact and there is still more than two months remaining.

So at this pace, it's safe to project that this promotion will be a PPV blockbuster success. It's going to do more than a million buys just as I have previously predicted.

If the demand was as great as you seem to think, wouldn't those tickets have all gone by now? 3 days and thousands left. If demand was high, they would have sold in hours. But here we are 3 days later and just under half are still there.

Any in-demand event sells out as soon as they go on sale, not still have half left after 3 days. That is not in-demand. Sorry.

How many events have you promoted in the US? I assume none. So how would you have any idea? I've promoted hundreds of events. Everything from large scale festivals all the way down to club events.

Different events in different genres have different on sale strategies.

For a big fight in the US, an immediate sell out isn't the goal. All that means is that you under priced tickets.

You claim any in demand event sells out as soon as tickets go on sale.

So according to you, Mayweather vs Pacquiao wasn't an in demand event. Mayweather vs McGregor wasn't an in demand event. Mike Tyson vs Lennox Lewis wasn't an in demand event. The list goes on and on. Most of the biggest fights in history didn't sell out.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

Thanks boss, I appreciate that. Obviously this guy hasn't the slightest clue of what the Hell he is talking about.

So what about Joshua and Povetkin? Did they not sell out Wembley Stadium after more than 11 weeks in with several thousand tickets still remaining? However, eventually did the event still sell out but how many days did it take them to do it though? Just a few days before fight time? In any case, it was yet deemed a box office smash even though it took them several months in order to do so from the biggest cash cow that England has ever known.

1 mil is probably the highest ever gate for a Wilder fight, they be celebrating.

Guys, ease up! You make it sound as too intelligent of a discussion going on here between doctors of science. Could you strain less brain cells for such an intricate topic as correlation of amount of ticket sells in dollar equivalent per unit of time so that slightly less gifted living creatures (chimps) would understand you?

[abracada]

Tickets went on sale today at noon and within 25 minutes there was already $1 mil sold. No telling how many have been sold since.

Over a million 🤑 sold within 25 min.#Wow I appreciate you guys so much two months still to go let’s fuc’n gooooo baby.
