The fight is supposed to be a big fight and is 2 months away.
If fight fans from out of town want to make plans, book a hotel and buy tickets, it is getting close to becoming very inconvenient to do so.
Plus, you can't really market the fight until the tickets are able to be bought.
I understand this is no big deal for a regular fight, but for a fight that I would assume you want to be an important boxing event in 2017, the tickets should have been out already. The date and location are set. This makes no sense.
Golovkin vs Jacobs takes place two weeks later and those tickets have been out since December 23. Vlad vs Joshua doesn't happen until late April and those tickets have been out since mid December. This is why having a competent boxing promoter matters. A real promoter would want to promote the event, raise the profile of these two fighters, and bring some buzz to the city....and make money from actually selling tickets.
This is one of the drawbacks of the Haymon model.
I love this fight, by the way. I just wish the powerful people in the sport would stop sabotaging its potential for growth.
