Eddie Hearn: Wilder vs Breazeale sold only 6000 tickets

Then share the contact point.
The email, the phone number, the address for your letter, whatever.

If you walked into the offices of the New York State Athletic Commission as 'John Q Public' and they simply gave you the information, say that.

Wilder-Breazeale was 7 days ago, other folks are already doubting the speed with which you were able to get said information, and I'm calling bull****.

The attendance number was said to be clearly over 13000 people, so to argue that anywhere near 6000 tickets were given away makes your claim even more bull****

That isn't true at all. Lomachenko Crolla recently sold 5,826 tickets and the crowd was announced at 10,101. Thats just a recent example. I can find plenty more of fights were a large percentage of tickets were comped.

there werent actually 13000 people there though. it was reported by many sources that number was way off and tons of cmps were given away.

from sportingnews "multiple sources have said thousands of comps were given away in the days before the fight"

why ignore all the evidence? just because you love wilder mr tribalist? your love doesnt make him a star unfortunately.

[pillowfists98]

Because you have an agenda just like the other people here that tell lies. You even made a thread stating you wouldn't feel bad if Wilder was killed in the ring. That speaks for itself.

What is my agenda? If I had an agenda I would tell you that Hearn is telling the truth and that Wilder did only sell 6,000 tickets not more you moron. All I did was send a request to the NYSAC and they got back to me, thats it.

You know sporting news is a DAZN outfit, right?

Since the upper tier was closed, the capacity should be around 13,000. But that wasn't the number of people who attended the fight because there were empty seats everywhere.

Did you watch the fight?

Yeah I watched the fight on Showtime. However, I didn't notice the sparseness or scarcity of the crowd though.

I hate to tell everyone this, but this is the American boxing market.

Who’s selling out a 20,000 seat arena in the United States? Canelo Alvarez, because he’s Mexican and a superstar.

No one else is selling out a 20,000 arena, unless they’re in a super fight.

GGG fought Vanes at small arena in Carson. Lomachenko just fought Crolla in LA with Wilder like attendance numbers. Crawford just fought Khan at MSG with Wilder like attendance numbers.

Those are the best boxers in the United States.

How many Americans are buying tickets to see Joshua-Ruiz? Probably about the same amount of people who went to Wilder-Breazeale. Boxing fans who want to see a heavyweight champ.

If the point is that Joshua is a bigger star in the UK than Wilder is in the US, of course he is.

Sounds like bullshit

[champion4ever]

thats with all the giveaways. I’ve been saying that. It sold very poorly. I got an offer from Groupon for $59 for this fight lol.

I am not dis*****g the fact, that all of the 13,000 people who attended the event paid to get in. Sure there were several tickets that were given away.

I don't know the exact amount but all promoters give away tickets when they are given licensing fees from a platform to pay their fighter's guarantee on a non pay per view event.

They don't have to aggressively go out and sell tickets because in the U.S. Fighters get most of their money from television anyhow.

Oscar did likewise, he gave a lot of complimentaries away on Cinco De Mayo weekend for the Canelo/Jacobs fight. You had practically the same amount of people who attended that event who attended the Canelo/GGG II match but it generated far less revenue this time with just $9mil as opposed to the $24mil the gate generated in the previous Canelo appearance at the T-Mobile a year ago.

Those tickets were sold last year but this time since Canelo's $40 mil purse was already guaranteed by DAZN; So therefore, GBP didn't feel the need to aggressively go out and sell those tickets to generate enough revenue at the gate because they didn't need to. Therefore, they just gave a lot of those tickets away.

Nobody gives tickets away like pbc though. Look at how many people are posting in here like most of those tickets were sold lol. Their propaganda is working.

Also when they say 13000 that is everyone. Including people working there.
