Comments Thread For: Anthony Joshua-Jarrell Miller Sets Pre-Sale Record at MSG

[Thuglife Nelo]

I agree. There's people saying Eddie bought...

Good old Warren notifying how the Hearns get down.

This is how business works. Promoter sends a Press Kit Promo to all the resellers with how amazing AJ vs Miller can be. Matchroom Sports details venue capacity and history, as well as “responsible for Froch vs Groves” etc to then AJ numbers. Resellers in the states pop a boner while still not knowing whom AJ vs Miller are, that it’s NYC MSG so it must be good.

Therefore, boxing fans are popping boners that resellers got their hands on all the presale tix available to be sold, and in the end, sales gate and packed venue is what matters. When resellers sell at bone for those not sold the promoter can buy those as well. Handouts to the public.

Good old Fish Eyes detailing how it’s done

Wilder could presell: seat 43b Alabama Sports Centre as it has a good view of babes on trampolines and comes with a free wet locker!

Only a joke. Undoutedly, AJ is benefitting from the success of Wilder v Fury I as they have benefited from AJ. Hearn was as gracious to say so in an interview recently. We just need a few more US heavies in the pipeline.

This fight is an epic mismatch, it's Lennox Lewis/Michael Grant all over again.

Epic mismatch maybe, but Grant was the US' great hope and got shown in up 2 rounds. Actually never should have seen the 2nd round.

I'm not sure even the US fans see Miller as their great hope. Seems everything is resting on Wilder somehow proving he deserves a place in the top 3.

Pre-sales doe!

you know why Claressa Shields hates Hammer? Because Hammer is pretty.

Wilderettes of the world.

AJ is also an arse.

Hammer is definitely attractive. But there’s no need to compare the many female butches or dykes of boxing to the many Kovalev, Fury or Beterbiev type faces in boxing... if I’m understanding your comparison correctly?

Wilder looks like any random NBA player, and so therefore many of those stars **** celebrity females of all colors, so I guess they like Wilder type faces?

Madison Square does host NBA games. Was this your point?

Nobody even know who is fighting.

There are alot of tickets in the third party market.

[SethP]

I hate to break it to y'all, but ANY somewhat hyped event in NYC gets scooped up by scalpers. Second, and just as importantly, once a ticket is sold, it's considered SOLD irrespective of who buys it. So regardless if scalpers buy a good amount, it still counts towards a sell out of the arena.

[umop-ap!sdn]

Not surprised. The scalping market is more ravenous than it's ever been and with AJ the hottest named HW fighter coming to the U.S. for the first time, the Stubhubs and scalpers etc likely scooped all of em up knowing they will resell em to the passionate Brits that will be flying in for the fight. Either that or Hearn and Matchroom bought em all up and are gunna sell em back to their people to ensure a heavy Brittish presence. He seems like the type to do something like this to create the headline that AJ sold out the pre-sale tix for a fight at MSG in record time. Bragging rights and it gives Team AJ further leverage in Negotiations. Either way not surprised it sold out in record speed.

Aj is bigger than wilder.. Joshua is benefiting from visiting top guys in the state... he was on tour with Mayweather and also went to GSW games and most people recognize him.. even here in Manhattan most people here taled about him and 20% at least will be there to see him fight
