Joshua vs Ruiz gate/ticket revenue 4 times as high as Wilder vs Breazeale

[Jubei]

Just some numbers for comparison for AJs and Wilders latest fights.



Wilder vs Breazeale can be considered flop when it comes to ticket sales and gate. There is a reason Showtime did not announce the gate or the ticket sales/PAID attendance, all they did was announce an attendance of ~13k which included a ton of free tickets and comps. The upper tier was not even opened, meaning the venue was set up for an attendance of only 13k but at the evening of the fight there were thousands of thousands tickets left unsold both on ticketmasters and stubhub.

They only sold about 6-7k tickets according to reports, rest were comps and given away for free. But nevertheless, lets say Wilder actually sold all 13k tickets then the gate would still be 4 times lower than AJ vs Ruiz.

The average ticket prive for Wilder vs Breazeale was ~$150



AJ vs Ruiz is a huge success based on ticket sales, MSG is fully opened for max capacity of 20.8k seats and over 19k tickets have already been sold and its probably going to be a sellout, when you go check on ticketmasters you see approximately ~1k tickets left.

The average ticket price for AJ vs Ruiz is ~$350

Joshua vs Ruiz 20k tickets $350 each = $7M
Wilder vs Breazeale 13k tickets $140 each = $1.8M (highest possible estimate, unrealistic)
Wilder vs Breazeale 7k tickets $140 each = <$1M (realistic estimate)

So when you compare the highest possible estimate for Wilder vs Breazeale ($1.8M) the gate was approximately 4 times lower than Joshua first fight in the US vs Ruiz ($7M).

Eddie Hearn lost millions of $ buying the tickets himself though.

But only the tickets bought by Americans count doe.

Lmao. My friend is very high up at MSG.

No the whole arena is not open

And the fight is a bust thru Ticketmaster!

Might want to check with the NYSAC on Monday vs what Eddie is saying.

Record Comps is what I’ve been told for arena VPs

Why do you even bother? You're fooling nobody with your act.

feel bad for those who traveled this far and paid this much to see this card. AJ will probably but on a good show but not worth the $IMO, but hope those go have a great time

Fark the tickets, this new age giving a sh** about who sells more is Rubbish.
Let’s stick to boxing and let the promoters worry about filling seats

I don't necessarily, Miller popped a fair way in advance so a lot could have got refunds if they wanted to some degree.

Of the thousands coming to watch from the UK, lots of groups of lads travelling to NY, getting on the cans, going to see AJ in MSG probably win, his first fight in the UK, stories to tell for years. Now would they prefer an epic battle for the ages with Wilder, sure, but not essential to a great time. Bit jealous TBH.
