I'm looking on ticketmaster and entire sections are GONE. Freakin section 107 tickets are going for 400 EACH on stubhub. Ridiculous. I figured interest would be poor with Golovkin beating on a scrub. Guess not. I'm buying row 6, lower bowl tickets for 200 a pop
Golovkin might not be a PPV sensation but you cant say that he doesn't fill the house and bring in huge gates. This is the kinda stuff that makes guys like Lara, Rigo and Ward jealous. Depending on the person jealousy will always lead to anger and the eventual call out.
I don't think Rigo cares about being popular. If he did he wouldn't have intentionally played it safe in the last fight and bored out everyone watching despite knowing he was being criticized and fed an easy opponent to make a few fans. All Rigo wants is to fight the top names in his division.
I'm seriously shocked by the interest in this fight. Based off the online sentiment you would think this fight would struggle to sell 5000 tickets. As a boxing fan and a GGG fan I'm not excited about this fight. But I'm always excited to see Golovkin in action. This will be my third GGG fight!!! And the second time I get to see P4P no 1 chocolatito in the ring. Woooooooooo. Two p4p fighters in the same night. K2 and HBO undercards are pretty good as well. Looks like boxing fans just want to see the man fight live. Many will be there. So will I. Section 107. Row 6
They've sold over 6000 tickets, and it's been two days. People underestimate the power of Big Drama Show.
