Not surprised I been talking about how bad this fight is doing weeks ago. Even with dirt cheap ticket prices they ain't selling. They put the fight in NYC because GGG vs Vanes flopped in California last year. Cheap seats and put it in the small StubHub were even taking food stamps as payments and still couldn't sell ended up with 1/3 of the StubHub being empty.
You add Vanes fight doing terrible at the box office and GGG worried about all the Mexican fans he lost after the Canelo rematch running from Mexican Style fight he begged for and firing his Mexican Trainer so they said let's stay away from California for a trash fight with Rolls. But NY isn't showing GGG much love either and it was put out in NY during a busy stretch of big fights in NY. You had Joshua/Ruiz, Wilder fight, Khan/Crawford, etc all in NYC. NYers can't afford to go to all these fights and GGG was hands down the worst fight with a terrible undercard not featuring any top NY fighters on the undercard. No shock they will be giving tickets away.
