Could Any Other Fight Sell 90,000 tickets?

Khan, just ask him and he will tell you so

 

Pac vs Mayweather in manila will crush joshua-klitschko by 10 fold.

 

Whens that happening?

 

There's still plenty on StubHub, so the idea of it being a sellout is bull****

 

You mean 2nd hand sellers on stubhub

 

StubHub have a partnership with Matchroom. If you want to believe all the tickets on there are from second hand sellers and Matchroom don't shift any amount to them at all then so be it but I don't buy it one bit

 

I agree, every big fight here in the U.K. is "sold out" in minutes but then there are thousands and thousands of tickets on Stubhub, it's a joke.

I hope they address this sooner rather than later and make it illegal for any company to sell a ticket at more than the face value or be the third party to it.

There will have to be some sort of campaign, maybe an online petition and get it raised in parliament.

I'm sure most sports fans feel exactly the same way, Football and Rugby have large followings so there would be plenty of support.

 

Superb

 

Spot on. The big give-away is when they announced 70,000 were sold in the first few hours, which was BS if we were meant to believe these were individual transactions with paying punters. Matchroom actually encourage StubHub's 'legalised touting' because it creates a buzz around a big event by making it look like there's a huge initial demand, which of course creates a demand in itself. Wouldn't be surprised if they take a nice cut of the inflated prices too, so they look like their pricing strategy is fair, when they know the real margins will be much, much greater...

 

We have the same issues here across the pond as well

 

I think that line speaks volumes.

I do agree the interest was huge in this case, but I suspect allowing the vast majority of ticket sales to go to sites like StubHub is more to do with maximising profit because market forces dictate price once sold that way, not face value. KaChing....

 

Joshua v Fury could sell more. Fury v Klitschko could sell 90k with the right promotion.

Probably a few UK fights could get close - Khan v Brook could do 50, 60k.

 

Mayweather vs. McGregor would easily do that I'm not sure of any others among active boxers perhaps Wilder vs Joshua or Mayweather vs Pacquiao rematch
