Gervonta Davis vs Yuriorkis Gamboa Sells 11k Tickets, 2.6M Gate

[KTFOKING]

if accurate, these are really good numbers. And it doesnt matter if it was because of Tank, or because the ATL hasnt had an event in awhile. Even though ATL has about 5 million people in the area, it is VERY HARD to get 11,000 or 12,000 people to buy boxing tickets. Its difficult even with a "hometown hero" type fighter who sells tickets. So its even harder when the main event isnt even from there.

So props are due.........

I mean Atlanta isn't a hot bed for boxing but there should be more cards there. Holyfield was really the last homegrown fighter that used to fight there.

Promoters also aren't as familiar or comfortable with commissions that they aren't used to dealing with. I think that is one of the reasons some of the markets have not been tapped into. Obviously other reasons as well, but that has crossed my mind.

before he went to California the Georgia commissioner was a guy named Andy Foster. Stand up guy. Not sure who replaced him......

Casuals know Gamboa? Really? The crowd that showed up to Atlanta didn't give a damn about Gamboa. So where are those huge numbers that Gamboa is doing outside of this fight? He is at least a name, but definitely not a huge name or one that contributed to this gate.

the crowd didnt show up to see gamboa....i never said that or came close...you know what im saying.....they know who gamboa is so combined with tank it made the fight more palpable than, say, someone like nunez....

hes a name casuals know....i never said he was a huge name....but hes a bigger name than any of the guys tank has fought....which is exactly why he was chosen
