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

[Sid-Knee]

You have no idea what you're talking about. If tickets sell out in hours, that means you didn't charge as much as you could have.

None of the biggest fights of all time sold out. They didn't sell out because they weren't priced to sell out. They were priced to maximize revenue, which inevitably means some tickets don't sell if you're maxing our your pricing.

Mayweather vs Pacquiao didn't sell out, but did sell $72 million in tickets. Joshua vs Klitschko sold $10 million in tickets.

Do you realize how ****** you sound when you say the most in demand event in history wasn't in demand because it didn't sell out? Do you comprehend how in demand an event has to be to sell $72 million in tickets?

An in-demand event doesn't come down to the price. If people want to go to an event enough they'd pay a high price for the tickets. When Joshua/Wilder gets made the prices will go up and it will sell in minutes. Just watch.

And I've already given you reasons to why those fights didn't sell out quick, but i'm not repeating myself.

It's a fight I want to see. So great news.

I agree. Some people saying PPV is going to break 2 mill, it won'. It might do between 1.2-1.5 though.

HW has some flair with Tyson and AJ and the outcast Wilder.

I'll be tuning in, but on a stream

You clearly don't understand what in-demand is. For an in-demand event, yes, tickets fly out and are sold in hours.


Pac was well past his best so the tickets weren't as in-demand as they once were.

Lewis/Tyson was held in Memphis so not exactly in a boxing hot spot. Plus the world cup was on that year so a lot of attention was taken away.

Most people saw the McGregor fight as a farce and circus, so it can't be blamed if the selling of tickets was slow. Plus the price of them was ridiculous.

Many reasons for why those tickets didn't go fast. Over here though, any in-demand event gets sold out in seconds and hours, not days.

Live Gate doesn't even scratch the surface of PPV revenue...and the Floyd-Pac and Floyd-McG fight were beyond profitable.

1 Mayweather vs Pacquiao (May 2015) 4,600,000 - $410 million total revenue
2 Mayweather v McG (August 2017) 4,300,000 - $55,414,865 (live gate) - unknown total revenue
3 Mayweather vs Canelo Alvarez (September 2013) 2,200,000 $150 million total revenue
4 Mayweather vs Oscar De La Hoya (May 2007) 2,480,000 $136 million total revenue

Mayweather-McG (which did NOT sell out) outsold AJ-Klitschko (and AJ-Klit DID sell out)

https://www.dw.com/en/joshua-takes-on-klitschko-in-90000-sell-out-wembley-boxing-title-fight/a-38642424

Even with a complete sellout of 90,000 seats AJ-Klitschko made almost nothing in comparison to some NON-sellout fights:

"In total, the fight generated an estimated £50 million ($64 million) in revenue from all sources, including live gate, pay-per-view, and overseas broadcasting."

I can offer a lot of supporting evidence that suggests sellout status is not that important to overall revenue. That doesn't mean it's not nice to have a sellout because it is, but it is far from predictive of total revenue

The Povetkin fight wasn't as in-demand as Joshua's other fights, but it was still in high demand considering it sold most of the tickets quickly. And it isn't an excuse if you're shifting 100,000 tickets compared to 18,000. If that's all Joshua had to sell the fight would sell out in less than a minute. None of this 3 days or more ****.

What I can't understand is why they didn't all sell out in the first day? Since Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing are substantially slashing their prices.

For example: The average ticket price at Wembley goes for about £95.85 or $125.00. Now compare that to the tickets at Las Vegas. Their ticket prices are nearly as ten times that amount.

Also, now compare your Pay per view buys to American Pay per View buys; Your average cost is only £19.92 or $26.00 in the U.K. As compared to £65.18 or $85.00 in U.S.

It's no wonder boxing is so popular in England. You guys believe in cutting the prices real low. So everyone can afford to enjoy the fun and entertainment.

Think about how ****** you look when you insist an event that sold $72 million in tickets wasn't in demand, but an event that sold $10 million in tickets was in demand.

I'm going to assume you don't make your living as an accountant.

It doesn't matter what the event eventually made, it still wasn't what i'd call "In-demand". In-demand is not based on price but on how much people want the product. Glastonbury is an in-demand event because tickets sell out in less than an hour. Price doesn't even come into it. Teletubbies was an in-demand toy because they were selling out before they even reached the shelves. In-demand means everyone wants it. If Mayweather/Pac didn't sell out or sell most tickets very quickly, then how could it be a case of everyone wanting tickets?

And the whole point of this thread is Wilder/Fury. Those tickets aren't being sold at really high prices, but they haven't sold out yet. Therefore it isn't an even that is in-demand. If everyone wanted a ticket, you'd have to get them from touts at this point. But no, you can get them from the same place the others got there's.

And it's never occurred to you that how much you can charge is determined by how much people want what you're selling?

Honest question, are you a teenager?

No, it isn't determined by how much you charge. You can have something that is highly priced but isn't in-demand, but then have something that doesn't come close to that kind of price but be very much in-demand. In-demand is by how much people want something, not it's price. The cost of a product doesn't even come into it.
