    Every country that would have a rising star and possible future ATG, who's also fighting in his hometown. Has to be a European country though, maybe some Asian countries. The US simply doesn't have a real fan culture.

    American woman visiting a European basketball match and experiencing a culture shock. Basketball isn't even big here, you have no idea what's going on in football or boxing.

    The reason why 70,000 tickets can sell out in minutes is because touts use bots in order to complete hundreds of transactions in seconds

    Nothing is bigger than a Szpilka vs Golota fight would be in Poland.

    Nothing!!!

    Did you know Calzaghe fought in front of 55,000 people in Cardiff against Kessler.
    Maybe you should have chose to have been a fan and bought a ticket, instead of wasting your entire life hating on him, it would have been a much more healthy choice. :D

    For those who say the fight hasn't sold out.. The event tickets have sold out! You can still buy tickets on 2nd hand but as far as Matchroom goes they have sold all thier tickets so even if 90k people attend or no one attends the stadium it makes no difference to them financially.

    Stubhub have a partnership with Matchroom to sell a quantity of tickets at face value then stubhub have thier own stock which they bough from Matchroom but charge a premium over.

    In this country it is illegal for event organisers to have any influence in the second had market, it would be a risk for them to do it but that doesn't mean they aren't doing it.

    But if Matchroom does it then so is every other company that sells tickets on stubhub.. If you've tried to buy tickets to Beyonce concerts or visit the other gigs at 02 they all sell out the same way.

    But I tried to buy tickets to AJ v Vlad but they sold out and there was thousands of people still in the line.. So it's not like 90k tickets couldn't gave been sold. But if there holding tickets back for secondary market... They may be losing out as they could sell them all easily.
