    Just had a look on stub hub and seems to be 1000s unsold tickets, or to be more accurate for resale.
    I presume they've got these directly from matchroom though.

    I imagine Joshua gets a flat fee, plus a certain percentage of the PPV revenue.

    I'm actually going but I'd have probably paid for it anyway. Whenever there's a PPV either me or one of my pals buys it and has the boys round. My friends aren't as big fans as myself but it makes for an enjoyable evening

    No interest in Joshua Breazeale. Really want to see Murray v Groves but won't be buying out of principle

    Couldn't listen to Hearn justifying it by saying how many 'buys' Joshua got knowing I contributed to the delusion

    If we all stand strong and dont buy these garbage PPV events then it would send a strong message to Sky that we are no longer being taking for MUGS ...BUT as per usual mugs will cave in ...STAND STRONG boycott this PPV event ...

    This fight is on PPV and all of his fights under Hearn will be on the PPV platform unless the buys become disastrously low.

    PPV for fighters are flat fee's and % above a certain agreed level ,hence the hype to attract casuals.

    Yep....

    Strange how you can still buy tickets for a sold out event from the official source, isn't it? He tried to suggest online that 110 tickets are left. Spread across 9 areas of the arena, some parts of which you can get 6 tickets in. Funny that...

    Same here - buying it for groves v Murray fight but certainly not happy about it.
