    It's on the front page provided in the link..... this is just Stubhub but the U.S version, which usually means high demand.

    The tickets identified in this promotion are made available through FanXchange. Neither Groupon nor FanXchange owns the tickets to this event or sets ticket prices. FanXchange's third-party sellers list and sell the tickets. Because FanXchange's third-party sellers set the ticket price and because pricing is subject to the forces of supply and demand, the price may be above or below face value.
    This is actually false.

    What it means is they are not selling on traditional formats so are trying to sell them on as many platforms as possible. That indicates low demand amongst true boxing fans. When things make it to platforms such as Groupon it is in the hope of attracting more casual fans who just happen to see it.

    There is nothing wrong with selling things on Groupon so not sure why people criticise it. But the fact tickets are on it for a supposed high demand fight doesn't suggest sales are going well at all.

    The thing is if we are being honest here. Most of us here won't be buying tickets and majority will most likely stream the fight anyway. For this fight and the undercard it just isn't worth the asking price.
    That said I am thinking about waiting for the day of the fight and thinking of making the flight from NY if I can get a deal on the flight. The networks might give away free tickets on the day so to not have a half empty arena.

        Why do you care and what do you get out of being a fanboy of finances and who sell what? Why not be a fan and enjoy good boxing no matter who it is.

            This is not really "good boxing" because Fury is not ready to fight yet. And I dont care if Wilder make 100 million or one penny, I just want him to actually fight someone with a pulse and stop fighting bums. He ran his mouth about how this was the fight of the year and his fans did the same and now look at it, it's right where I said it would be all along, a flop and a clown show.

                  You can say that about a lot of these fighters need to step up but sadly all these networks and promoters are robbing us of some of the best fights with their greed.

                    Yes but in Wilder's case, he's had 10 years and 40 fights, he should have stepped up long ago. There's no excuse for him to not fight ANY of the top fighters in the last 10 years. Ortiz was almost 40 and on heart medication. Fury is not ready to fight at a world level so he doesn't really count either. Wilder has yet to fight a guy (other than Ortiz) in the top 25 in the world right now. That's absolute crap

                      NY passed on the fight? Um no, that didn't happen. They were in the hunt for the fight until the end.

                      Wilder sold just fine against Ortiz. Stop following Hearn's rhetoric.
