    Where does Haymon see the value in giving away tickets, especially as many as you're accusing him of, where he's not making any money on them?

    As a shrewd business man, who was a highly successful concert promoter, what sense is there in him giving away 40%+ of the seats to his shows? Lol
    LoLOLOLlol I already explained this I previous threads. Just like floyd would buy tickets to his own fights to beat certain Pacquiao gates.

    Haymon and not just Haymon want arenas to look full on Tv. Look at some of these fox shows at stubhub place is 80% empty when the sun is out and fights start and they can’t hide that. Product looks better on tv with more people in the seats and more importantly Haymon wants to have big gates for his A list fighters for bargaining power. If he has a 900k gate at Barclays and AJ has 2 mil gate at msg in wilders home country that puts Haymon in a bad position. Same thing he did with giveaways for wilder fury.

    For fights like Hurd Williams where he ha most of the top players besides Munguía he doesn’t care as much.

      Since you've claimed to have directly heard it from the three names you listed, it's pretty hilarious that you still can't put forward a link.

      Heck, where did you actually hear it? Share your link, instead of resorting to the "of course everyone said it" platitudes.

          Joshua v Klitschko peaked at 890k on HBO replay.

          Joshua v Parker Showtime replay peaked at 483k viewers.

          And Joshua has almost sold out MSG at 3x the price of Wilder v Breazeale tickets.

            - -Not so long ago Deyonce was fighting Jason Gavern on the undercard to Brook/Porter.

            In front of a dozen people, half being his relatives.

            At the Stubb Hub in Cali!

            You can't make this stuff up!

              Have you ever gotten a response from the NYSAC this fast KTFOKING? I know I haven't. They're notoriously slow
              Absolutely not. They haven't even gotten back to me for the Crawford/Khan numbers lol. Texas and California? They will get back at most in a week in a half or so but NYSAC? No, I haven't gotten one response from them.

              I asked for the Crawford/Khan commission report on May 7th and still haven't gotten a response from them.

              I asked on May 21st for the Wilder/Breazeale commission report and still haven't gotten a response from them.

              I asked on May 17 for the Lomachenko/Linares commission report and still haven't gotten a response from them.

                Not one of those dudes have sold a US arena ticket. You crazy if you believe those tickets are sold out. Hearn used his usual scheme of having brokers buy the tickets and post them at higher prices. The tickets are just sitting and waiting to be sold.
